| 7082 | Jeffery Champlin, the immigrant and progenitor of the Champlin name in America, was born at Bideford (Devonshire) England circa 1621. He emigrated between 1627 and 1638 from Portsmouth, Rhode Island. (1) It is not known how Jeffrey came to the New World (or when), although there are reports that he was in Boston as early as 1627. The first white settlement on Aquidneck took place in March 1638 on the north end of the island at Pocasset (renamed Portsmouth in 1640). This colony was founded by Anne Hutchinson and her small group of religious libertarians. They had met in the Boston home of prominent merchant William Coddington on March 7, 1638. This small group were greatly at odds with and frequently harassed by Massachusetts' ruling Puritans. Huthinson's group calling themselves the "Bodie Politick", drew up a compact in much the same way as did the Mayflower passengers. He was a Cordwainer/Property/Public Official from 1638 to 1685 in Rhode Island. At Newport, Jeffrey engaged in the buying and selling of property and was thought to have become a cordwainer. Cordwainers were leather workers who made use of cordovan (a soft, colored leather usually made of sheep, goat, or dog skin, or split horse hide) to design and make custom made shoes. This was considered to be a pre-eminent profession in those days. | Champlin, Jeffrey (I3284)

XIV, Page 472, Recollections of Nankin Wayne County, MI Pioneer Records: Kipp, Cory & Barnes Biographies DENNIS COREY. Among the old settlers now become the retired farmers of Hamburg Township, Livingston County, we find a number of men whose abilities and character have given them an exceptional standing in the community. Their migration to Michigan in the early days developed through hardship and struggle all that is best in man, and by their perseverance and sturdy adherence to the principles which are essential to success under such circumstances, they attained a reputation and a standing which is permanent. Such a man is Dennis Corey, who resides on that beautiful section of Hamburg Township, which lies on section 36. John D. Corey, the honored father of our subject, was born in Rhode Island, in 1799. He received an excellent education and taught for many years, although he was by avocation a farmer. Upon leaving his native home he went to Saratoga, N.Y., and remained in that State until 1831, when he came to Michigan, traveling by way of Erie Canal to Buffalo, thence to Detroit on the boat "William Penn." From that city he came through the forest to Nankin, Wayne County, where he bought eighty acres of land, and in 1836 he bought forty additional acres. Settling on the eighty acres which he first purchased, he proceeded to cut logs and build a house. It was not really a palatial residence, being only 18x22 feet in dimensions with log walls, stick chimney with clay-back walls. He continued to improve his property, building barns and houses find setting out orchards, and in course of time, having made this property quite desirable, sold it and bought one hundred and twenty acres in Mason, Ingham County. This was a new farm and upon it he placed a house and barn and other improvements, and having thus raised its value sold (468) it and removed to Gratiot County, where he purchased another farm and remained until the end of his days, which came when he was eighty-four years and two months old. About the year 1821, John Corey had married Miss Parney Armstrong, daughter of Jacob Armstrong, a resident of New York, who had come from Connecticut, and who had two sons and three daughters, of whom Parney was the third in age and was born about the beginning of the present century. To John and Parney Corey were given six children, who were equally divided between sons and daughters, and of whom Dennis was second in order of age, being born January 18, 1824. She died about the year 1833. After the death of his first wife the father of our subject was a second time united in marriage being g joined to Roxa Ferguson, daughter of James Ferguson, of Wayne County, Mich. Mr. Ferguson was from Vermont, and Roxa, who was born about the year 1807, was the second in a family of nine children. To her were born seven children, three of whom are still living. The subject of this sketch had but few advantages for an education, but improved those few with vigor and interest. When twenty years old he began for himself by working out by the month in Ann Arbor. He had a taste for mechanics and soon attained skill in that department of work and at twenty-four he began to run a stationary engine, and in 1850 had accumulated enough means to purchase land, buying eighty acres in Hamburg Township, to which he has since added twenty more. The farm was not in a very good condition, although it was cleared, but had upon it poor fences and neither buildings nor orchards. Four years after his purchase of this property he was united in marriage with Luzetta, daughter of Heman Lake. Mr. Lake had a large family and Luzetta, who was the eighth child, was born in 1835. To our subject was born by this union one daughter, to whom he gave the name of his mother, Parney. She is now the wife of George Banghard and is the mother of two sons. Mrs. Luzetta Corey was called from her earthly home in 1858. Mr. Corey made his second matrimonial alliance in 1860, taking as his wife, Catherine, daughter of Peter Corey, a native of Rhode Island, who removed to New York in his early manhood where Catherine was born in 1824, the youngest of his five children, two of whom are now living. The well-known integrity and reliability of Mr. Corey has given him the universal confidence of his neighbors and to him has been intrusted for twenty years the responsible office of Treasurer of his school district. He is interested in political movements and votes the Democratic ticket. To his son-in-law he has consigned the management of his farm, and he has built for himself a beautiful home where he and his good wife dwell at peace with all the world.

| 7087 | John Larid died at his residence on Clinton street, last Thursday night, at 11 o'clock. He was the youngest son of Alexander Laird and was born March 14, 1835 in Hempfield township, this county. In 1856 he went to Kansas, and thence to Iowa and Illinois. After a brief reidence in these Western States he returned home and soon after was united in marriage to Miss Emeline Melvin, of West Salem, and they lived in the township several years, removing from there to Greene townshop and thence to Greenville last fall. Several years ago he united with the Baptist Church in Jamestown, of which he remained an honored member until his death. He has been a great sufferer for years from cancer of the eye, and finally died of cancer of the stomach. He was glad to be released from his suffering and died happy in the hope of a better life. His funeral was held at his late residence, Sunday, at 2 p.m., Rev. J.T. Davis preaching the sermon. There was a vast assemblage of his friends present, who tearfully followed his body to its last resting place and who extended their tenderest sympathy to his bereaved family.

| 7089 | John R. Hanify (page 274) Nearly every businessman has some sort of relaxation—some sport or hobby which brings him rest and change from the daily routine of work. For some it is athletics, for others reading, for others the making of collections of one kind or another. For John R. Hanify, founder and head of J. R. Hanify Co., lumber manufacturers and dealers, it is yachting. "When, just a few weeks ago, Mr. Hanify won with his racing sloop Westward the magnificent gold cup offered by King George V of Great Britain he but demonstrated again his prowess as a sailor of yachts. He did not gain for himself by this latest coup a reputation as a yachtsman. The reputation was already his. Throughout, the career of John R. Hanify has been a succession of personal efforts rightly directed. Born in New York City Sep-tember 15, 1862, his father was Francis Hanify, at one time in charge of the damage claims department of the Inman line of steamships, and his mother was Bridget (Ryder) Hanify. He attended St. Francis Xavier College in New York, but in 1876, following his mother's death, accompanied his father to California. The intention was to return to New York, but the elder Hanify passed away a few months after his arrival on the Coast and the boy was left to shift for himself. He was not quite 14 years old. Mr. Hanify succeeded in landing a position as office boy with the Moore & Smith Lumber Company. Thus began a successful 17 years' connection with this firm. He rose from office boy to book-keeper, to cashier, to office manager and finally became general manager of the concern, and gained valuable practical experience in the manufacturing end of the industry. In 1893 Mr. Hanify went into business for himself under the firm name "J. R. Hanify," accepting the selling agency for various sawmills. After three or four years he took in as a partner Albert C. Hooper, son of John A. Hooper, and changed the firm name to J. R. Hanify & Co. At the same time he became interested in the manufacture as well as them sale of lumber, and began building sailing vessels and steamers for the transportation of their products. The firm also became owners of a substantial tract of timberland in Humboldt County, and of 50 per cent of the stock of the Bucksport & Elk River Railroad Co., connecting the Elk River lumber mill with the shipping point on Humboldt bay. Mr. Hanify purchased the assets of the co-partnership in 1905 and Mr. Hooper retired from the firm. For a little more than a year Mr. Hanity operated alone, but in April 1907, incorporated under the name of the J. R. Hanify Co., allowing each of his older employees to acquire a substantial interest in the business. He has built six steamers, although he now operates but three, having disposed of the smaller ones. One of his largest vessels is the Francis Hanify, a combination tanker and lumber carrier designed for coast-to-coast trade through the Panama Canal. He also has built eight sailing vessels, three of which he now operates. In civic affairs Mr. Hanify has been actively interested. For a number of years he was a member of the appeals committee of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. He also was a member of the Commerce Chamber party that about three years ago visited Japan to further the commercial relations between San Francisco and the Orient. Ever since he was 15 or 16 years old Mr. Hanify has been deeply interested in amateur yachting. The first sloop he owned was the Myrtle, a 32-foot boat. Since that time he has built three schooner yachts, although the only one he owns at present is the Martha. He has built two motorboats and still operates one of them, the Scout. The sloop "Westward is Mr. Hanify's pride. It was built especially for the Panama-Pacific Exposition races and was designed by William Gardner of New York, designer also of the Vanitie, which has been competing with the Resolute as a candidate for the defense of the American cup. The Westward has won every time she has started. She has won one race for the Sir Thomas Lipton cup, which must be won three times, and also brought to her owner the beautiful King George cup last August. Mr. Hanify was for two years commodore of the San Francisco Yacht Club, in 1909-10, and is a member also of the Corinthian Yacht Club of New York. He is a director of the Olympic Club of San Francisco, and a member of the Pacific Union, Bohemian and others. | Hanify, John Ryder (I1725)

| 7097 | Larkin Coles became a Millerite preacher-physician who advocated good health practices. He wrote two books, "Philosophy of Health: Natural Principles of Health and Cure" and "The Beauties and Deformities of Tobacco-Using". Larkin is forever tied to Ellen White, a leader in the Seventh Day Adventist Church, who stand accused of plagarizing a good deal of his work. In his books Larkin showed great foresight to today's medicine in that he advocated fresh air, exercise, a vegetarian diet, non-use of stimulants, reform in dress, sexual purity, and drugless medicine. He, of course, died at a relatively young age of 52, ten years before the death of his parents. | Coles, Larkin Baker (I1493)
