Notes for: Sarah M. Bordine
Ronny Bodine found that Sarah Bordine's husband was not "Perry Johnson Dover" as some have listed him. He was Paris Johnson of Dover, Michigan. Good work, Ronny!
From Ronny Bodine:
1850 Dover Twp., Lenawee Co., MI: Parris JOHNSON 28 NY farmer, Sarah 21 NY, Ellen 2 MI.
1880 Dover Twp., Lenawee Co., MI: Paris JOHNSON 57 NY farmer, Sarah 49 NY wife, William 22 MI son.
