Migration of Henry’s son Randolph to Michigan

We pick up Randolph (b. 1798) for the first time on the 1820 census for Romulus, NY as a 22 year old in Henry’s household along with 3 younger brothers, 2 sisters and Henry’s wife Phebe.  Randolph was probably about 14 when he came to Romulus with his parents. 

In 1821 Randolph married Mary “Polly” Geddes (b. 1799), daughter of John Geddes and Prudence Smalley, and, by the 1830 census has his own children and is now living in Varick, which was split off from Romulus into it’s own township in January of that year.  He has 4 sons (John G, Henry G, George A and Martin L) and a wife, Mary “Polly”. 

In 1831 he migrates to Lodi, Wastenaw County, Michigan, where he and Mary add 4 more children to their family (Mary Jane, Charles Melvin, Randoph Jr, and David).  Randolph and Mary both died in Lodi and are buried in the Lodi Cemetery, Ann Arbor, Michigan.
