The board search function is not working correctly so I am posting this with apologizes if it is already addressed in another posting.

I am looking for information on a Charles Wallace Hurd b. 5-8-1868 in Saginaw MI to a Harriet L. Hurd

Census searches and a faint memory of Charles being said to have been adopted has led me to beleive he is the Wallace Hurd refered to in the following:

The 1870 census lists a Cyrus Wetherbee 59 and Hanna Wetherbee 37 living in Macomb County MI with children: Wallace Hurd age 2 & Mary 15, Sirus(?) 13, Edwin 9 and Isabel 8.

A Gilbert D. Chase 25 and a Lynda Wetherbee 24 were married in Detroit, MI on May 19, 1875.

The 1880 Detroit MI census lists a Gilbert D. Chase 31 and Harriet Chase 30 living with 3 children: Wallace 13, William 11 and Edna 4.

Wallace's age is correct in both censuses and Gilbert & Harriet's ages in the 1880 census corespond to the Chase/Wetherbee marriage in Detroit, but based on the marriage date, Wallace and William are too old to have been legitimate so, they may have came from a prior marriage of Gilbert or Harriet or they are adopted. Harriet L. Hurd, Lynda Wetherbee and Harriet Chase may be the same person. Does anyone have any information about a Hurd living with a Chase family around this time? Can someone advise this family's location after 1880 and if a Hurd was still living with them? Thanks in advance.
