I have more than a passing interest in this deed, which conveys land between the older Henry Fellows and the younger one. In this case, the Jr., does mean younger, not, “My son with the same name”.

I am posting information gleaned from land records in the areas where our family’s ancestors resided. You can read more about this project in the overview . This group pertain to Papa’s Fellows ancestors who resided in Newaygo County, Michigan.

Date: 24 Sept 1873
Liber: 17
Page: 413
Location: Newaygo Co., MI
Grantor: William Addis & wife of Grand Rapids, MI
Grantee: Joel B. Fellows of Ashland, Newaygo Co., MI
Witnesses: G. Chase Godwin, Arthur R. Morgan
Type of deed: Warranty
Rec’d and recording: 27 Sept 1873
Clerk/registrar: Persons
Location of land: Newaygo Co., MI
Consideration: $225.00
Notes:
Description: S 1/2 of the SE 1/3 and the NE 1/4 of the SE 1/4 Sec 5 T11N R12W

Grant Township lies just to the east of Ashland Township, where many of the land transactions for the Fellows family occurred. I have suspected that Joel made speculative investments in land in Newaygo County, since I believe he lived in Sandusky Township, Seneca Co., Ohio for many years. However, this deed suggests he was a resident of Newaygo County when the deed was executed. Another tidbit for my investigation.

The location of this land is illustrated on the Ashland Township map from the old Newaygo County Atlas1 .

Grantee: Henry Scofield
Witnesses: Daniel Erwin, C. McLaughlin
Type of deed: Warranty
Rec’d and recording: 16 March 1877

Consideration: $133
Notes: Scofield was Henry H. (b ca 1858) father-in-law

I have very little information with regard to Mary Scofield, the wife of Henry H. Fellows. Henry Scofield was Papa’s 3rd great-grandfather. I did notice this deed several years ago when I was collecting information in Newaygo County. I am glad I have this clue to pursue as I extend research on Mary and her family.

The location of this land is illustrated on the Ashland Township map from the old Newaygo County Atlas1 .

Liber: 14
Page: 113
Location: Newaygo Co., MI
Grantor: Joel B. Fellows of Clyde, Sandusky Co., OH
Grantee: Peter J. Fellows of the same place
Witnesses: A.H. Giddings, W. Parsons
Type of deed: Warranty
Rec’d and recording: 20 April 1872
Clerk/registrar: Parsons
Location of land: Newaygo
Consideration: $500
Notes:
Description: W 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 14, T11N R13W

I do not know when Joel B. Fellows obtained this land, and I am also not sure of the relationship of Joel B. Fellows with Henry H. (b ca 1839), Erastus G.(b ca 1835)., and Peter J. (b ca 1840) I suspect that he was an uncle, but that is based on his age in relation to them, and the fact that some of the orphans of Erastus Fellows (d. 1843) lived in the same household as Joel in 1850. Henry H, our ancestor, was the son of Erastus G., b. ca 1835.

The location of this land is illustrated in relationship to the other deeds I have analyzed for these families, on the Ashland Township map from the old Newaygo County Atlas1. The older deeds, marked in blue on the map are are:

  1. W 1/2 of the NE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Sec 13 T11N R13W purchased by Erastus G. Fellows on 14 July 1859.
  2. NW 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Section 24 T11N R13W purchased by Henry H. Fellows (b. ca 1839), on 10 Dec 1861, recorded in 1876.
  3. W 1/2 of the NE 1/4 of the NW 1/4 of Sec 13 T11N R13W by Joel B. Fellows (b. ca 1820) on 4 March 1867 from the estate of Erastus G. Fellows, executor Henry H. Fellows (b. ca 1839) on 4 March 1867.

The land sold by Joel to Peter is marked in red on the map.  You can see a larger version by clicking on the thumbnail.
