WILLOUGHBY, Drury F b 15 April 1807 in Haverhill, Grafton, New Hampshire and died in Howard City, Mecosta, Mich 6 April 1876 at the age of 68y 11m 21 dys. He was living in China, St. Clair, Mich from 1845-1860 per the State and Federal Census's. He was married and had at least 2 sons and 3 daughters although his wife/s and childrens names are unknown at this time. Some of the children would be born in New Hampshire, as in 1840 he was still residing in Haverhill. Drury F. was born in New Hampshire, I have assumed the area was Haverhill. A Lavina (WILLOUGHBY) CARLETON wife of William Hurchins CARLETON, was also born in Grafton Co., NH; 31 Jan 1808. And also moved to China St. Clair, MI earlier in 1832. I PRESUME that they are brother and sister. I have no firm proof but welcome any info. It is very likely they will be 1st cousins at the least. I have a great deal of info on WILLOUGHBY'S of New Hampshire, yet no solid connection to either of these people.
