ANDRE FOSDICK, a prominent farmer and stock-raiser of section 30, Grand Blanc
Township, Genesee County, is a native of Livingston County, N. Y., and was born
May 10, 1832. He is a son of Henry and Hannah (Main) Fosdick, both natives of
the Empire State, and his paternal ancestry was from England. Throughout life he
has pursued farming and he was prepared for the duties of life in the district
schools of his native home and upon his father's farm.

  In 1853 the young man emigrated to Genesee County, Mich., and began working
upon a farm in Grand Blanc Township, removing afterward to Gaines Township for a
short time, but finally returning to his first vocation. Several years later he
lived in Shiawassee County for two years, and then returning to this county,
made his home in Argentine Township and afterward in Burton, and finally
located, in 1880, upon the farm where he has since resided.

  Mr. Fosdick was married on the 4th of July, 1853, to Susan, daughter of Henry
and Maria Main, formerly of Grand Blanc Township. By this union there have been
born three children, two of whom are still living—Ella, wife of Dr. Jefferson
Gould, of Fenton, and Emma, wife of Asa McWain. Mr. Fosdick owns a fine tract of
one hundred acres of land, which is the result of his own industry and
enterprise, seconded by the wise counsel and efforts of his companion. His
political affiliations bring him into line with the Democratic party, and he is
well known throughout the community for his sterling integrity and his
true-hearted devotion to duty. Both Mr. and Mrs. Fosdick are highly esteemed
members of the social circles of the township and county, and are looked to as
helpers in every good work.
