Surnames: Derry, Johnson, Warfield, Knowlton, Swailes, Smith
Hello!
I am a descendant of Thomas and Mary Ann (Johnson)Derry who emigrated to America aboard the Ship Quickstep, in May 1854 with their family. They settled in Wayne County, New York (Sodus / Arcadia Twp area).
Four of their sons--Thomas, William, John, and Alfred--came to Gratiot County, Michigan in the mid-1860s, settling in Hamilton and Lafayette Townships. Alfred was my great-grandfather. His wife was Martha Warfield, daughter of James and Marie (Knowlton) Warfield; Martha was born in Clifton Springs, Ontario County, New York. Alfred and Martha married before coming here to Gratiot County.
Thomas married Mary A. Swailes, dau of John and Minerva Swailes. They appear on the 1860 census in Sodus, Wayne Co., NY. with children.
William married Mary A. Smith.
Would like to exchange information with anyone interested in these families. Several of the descendants of these men still live in Gratiot County. I would especially like to learn more about the other siblings in the family.
