On February 2, 1998 I received email from a Janet Pavlak , 2950 18th
Street, Hopkins, Michigan 49328 (email address jpavlak@accn.org)
Stating:
I have a 1880 Allegan County History book and it says Samuel A.
Atkins a former resident of Tompkins Co. NY was among the foremost
pioneers of 1838 and located upon the east half of the northeast quarter
of section 26 of Watson twp on section 24 was a squatter names David
Updyck, who after a brief residence, disposed of his improvements to
permanet settler. With him Mr. Atkins remained until he had completed a
house, to which he speedily brought his family. Mr. Atkins experienced
all the hardships of pioneer life, etc.etc. Do you have this? I also have
a copy of the deed where the land was sold to some of my relation the
Mclaughlins by the heirs of Samuel Atkins. Janet.
I emailed her and said I would pay for some copies. She sent these to me
snail mail on February 24, 1998,
In these papers that were copied from this 1880 book of Allegan County,
History Book it said that Calab D. Carmen, another pioneer from Tompkins
County, N.Y. , located in 1838 upon 40 acres on section 23 (maybe 25) .
He was the father-in-law of Mr. Atkins, and found with him a temporary
home until he could build a log house for himself. Mr. Carmen was by
trade a shoemaker, and during the early years of his residence numerous
demands were made upon his skill. He resided on the place he first
occupied until his death, ten years later at a very advanced age.
