of Michael and Jane (Dorsey)

years old when his parents came 

to America and settled at Quebec, Province of Quebec, where they lived until 
1843.  On the death of his 

father he was left to make his way alonr in the world and remained in Canada 
until 1868.  He spent three 

years prospecting in the Dominion, and in the fall of 1871 came to Aetna Tp., 
Mecosta Co., and purchased 80 

acres of land, and like early settlers, commenced to make improvements for the 
purpose of securing a 

livelihood.  The result of their laborers are shown by the condition of the 
farm and its fixtures.
