John Lathrop was born on 10 Oct 1794 in VermontG.^3,4 He was probably the male under age 10 listed in the household of his father, Thomas Lathrop, in the 1800 Federal Census of Shelburne, Chittenden Co., VermontG.⁷ He was probably the male age 10 to 16 listed in the household of his father in the 1810 Federal Census of Burlington, Chittenden Co., VermontG.⁸ He was probably the male age 16 to 26 listed in the household of his father in the 1820 Federal Census of Burlington, Chittenden Co., VermontG.⁹
     John married Margaret Fuller on 15 Mar 1821.¹
     John appeared on the 1830 Federal Census of Burlington, Chittenden Co., VermontG, with a household consisting of one male under age 5 (son James), two age 5 to 10 (Luman and Thomas), one age 15 to 20 (unknown), one age 30 to 40 (himself), one female under age 5 (daughter Jane), one age 5 to 10 (Julia), and one age 30 to 40 (wife Margaret Fuller.)¹⁰ He died in early 1837, probably in Burlington, VermontG, at age ~43.^5,6
     John died intestate (without a will). Henry Mayo, his cousin's husband, was appointed administrator of his estate. On 30 Mar 1837 Henry posted an administrator's bond for $1,000.¹¹ When he died, John owned two parcels of land. One, purchased 14 Sep 1835, contained 16 acres, and an adjoining parcel, purchased 2 Jan 1837, just before his death, contained one acre and 130 rods. Both were on the west side of the road that led northerly from the glass factory. He had purchased both from Truman Powell, who held a mortgage on them for some $70.¹²
     An inventory of John's estate was filed on 30 May 1837, in which the land was valued at $196. Together with farm implements and household goods, the total value was listed as $383.11. The farm equipment included a cast iron plow ($4), a hoe (34¢), two sythes (34¢), a double waggon ($26), and double harness ($11). The household goods included a brass kettle ($2), frying pan (75¢), cookery ($1.50), silver spoons ($7.50), two brass candlesticks (75¢), a bureau ($9), bed and bedding ($46.82), and clothing ($20.50.)¹³
     The administrator declared the estate insolvent, so on 23 Jun 1837 the court appointed commissioners to receive claims against it. After posting public notices in Burlington, Shelburne, Colchester, and Williston, and in the newspaper, they received claims from nine men totaling $71.90, they reported to the court 17 Jan 1838. They included a note due Henry Mayo, the administrator, for $16.36, and $19.51 due on account to John's brother Gideon.¹⁴
     On 28 Mar 1838 the court authorized the administrator to deliver to the widow her apparel and items of her choice totaling $164 from her late husband's personal estate, and to sell the rest at action. He reported 6 Jun that he had sold the wagon and harness (now described as "old") for $17, or $20.50 less than their appraised value. In the meantime, the widow requested on 14 Apr that her share of the real estate be set off for her. A committee was appointed to do that on 20 Apr, and it reported on 3 Dec 1838 that it had set off for her four and one quarter acres of the total of just over 17 acres. This represented one third of the value, $94.06 of a total of $282.18, so it was apparently more valuable than the rest, perhaps because it included a dwelling.¹⁵
     The administrator's accounting filed 19 Oct 1839 showed the assets of the estate, including the inventory of personal and real estate, $62.50 received from the town of Burlington for John's services and $14 for rental of his wagon and land, totaled $459.61. Debts, personal and real estate given to the widow, and expenses, totaled $413.86, requiring sale of the land to pay the debts and charges. It was concluded that the parcel could not be split without damage to the value of the remainder, so the administrator was authorized to sell the entire parcel, including the widow's third, but subject to a life estate for her to that part. He did so on 21 Oct 1839, selling it to Henry B. Stacy for $267.18. No accounting for the distribution of the proceeds has been found.¹⁶

Elisha Andrews was born on 29 Sep 1768 in Middletown, ConnecticutG.¹ He moved to VermontG about 1780 with his parents.⁶ Having been taught surveying as well as traditional subjects by his father, a teacher and surveyor, he left home at the age of 16 or 17 and moved to Galway, Saratoga Co., New YorkG. Living with a aunt there, he worked several years as a teacher and as a surveyor. During this time he underwent a religous conversion, and entered the Baptist ministry.⁷

     Early in 1800, he accepted the pastoral charge of the Baptist Church in Templeton, MassachusettsG. For 14 years he traveled regularly to preach in Holden, some 20 miles away, at Barre, 12 or 14 miles, and Athol,10 or 12 miles, until additional churches were established in the surrounding towns.⁹
     Elisha appeared on the 1800 Federal Census of Royalston, Worcester Co., MassachusettsG, with a household consisting of three males under age 10, one age 26 to 45 (himself), one female under 10, one age 16 to 26, one age 26 to 45 (wife Wealthy Ann.)¹⁰

     As the War of 1812 broke out he took an anti-war stand, siding with the Federalists, which was opposed by leading members of his church. He resigned his charge on 17 Mar 1813, but remained in the area and preached in the churches for two years until a replacement pastor was appointed.¹²
      In Feb 1816 the family moved to Hinsdale, New HampshireG, where Elisha served the local congregation for several years. He then took several appointments from the Massachusetts Baptist Missionary Society to travel to the region west of Lake Champlain in the state of New York to serve as a missionary. In his later years he preached from time to time at various churches in the areas he had served, including at Hinsdale.¹³

Mary Willard Cobb was born on 31 Aug 1817 in Rochester, New YorkG.^4,5,6 She was baptized on 19 Sep 1820 in First Presbyterian Church, Rochester, New YorkG.¹⁵
     Her father died on 21 Sep 1826, when Mary was 9 years old.^16,17,18
     Mary married David B. McCormick in 1834 in Rochester, New YorkG.^7,8,9
     Mary and David moved with their young son to Michigan TerritoryG in 1836.¹⁹ Mary was probably the female age 20 to 30 listed in the household of her husband David in the 1840 Federal Census of Monroe, Monroe Co., MichiganG.²⁰
     Mary and David appeared on the 1850 Federal Census of Monroe, Monroe Co., MichiganG, enumerated 5 Aug 1850, reporting real estate valued at $700. Their children William, Weltha, Georgiana, Mary, Julia, Charles, and Kate were listed as living with them, as was Augusta Denninger, age 22, who appears to have been a servant.²¹
     Mary and David appeared on the 1860 Federal Census of Monroe, Monroe Co., MichiganG, enumerated 4 Jun 1860, reporting he had real estate valued at $2,100 and she of $2,300, and he had personal estate of $1,800. Their children Julia, Charles, Kate, Almina, and Lilla were listed as living with them.²²
     Mary and David moved to Ohio with their younger children, apparently by 1864, when a David McCormack appears in the city directory at 461 Michigan, Toledo G.²³ By 1866 they had moved to St. Clair and OrangeG.²⁴ The next year they moved to 80 HuronG.^25,26
      By 1869 they had moved to Superior where they established a boarding house.²⁷ They appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Toledo, Lucas Co., OhioG, enumerated 23 Jun 1870, reporting no real estate, but $2,000 in personal estate. Their children Kate, Almina, and Lilla were listed as living with them.²⁸
     There were 13 boarders listed at their boarding house in 1870, including three couples, one with an infant. They seemed to cater to an up-scale clientele. Two of the residents reported $15,000 each in combined real and personal estate. Two others were a doctor and a lawyer. There were four resident servants, women ranging from 20 to 35 years old, all from Ireland.²⁸ In 1880 the boarding house had five boarders, including a milliner, two iron dealers, and two life and fire insurance agents, who appear to have been father and son. There were two servants, a 40-year old woman from Prussia, and a 25-year-old man from England. The boarding house operated through about 1882, the last year it appeared in the city directory.^29,30

      When and why Mary moved to California is unknown but she and her daughter Lilla are listed in the 1889 San Francisco city directory, at 1213 Guerrero St. G Neither of them have been found in any other record in California. It may be that Mary moved there as a form of treatment since her death was reported to be from consumption, which commonly meant pulmonary tuberculosis.^33,34
     Mary died on 20 Mar 1889 in San Francisco, CaliforniaG, at age 71.^10,11,12 She was buried in Woodland Cemetery, Monroe, Monroe Co., MichiganG.^13,14
