The family did move to Hibbert Twp., Perth County, Ontario in early 1854 and are shown living there in the 1861 Canadian Census. In 1866, the family moved to Metamora Twp., Lapeer County, Michigan. There Michael met and married Eliza Kane on Nov. 18, 1879. He worked on his father's farm and moved to homestead a farm in Arcadia Twp, Lapeer County, in 1886.
