Watkins Family - Pittsfield, Michigan


I am working on finding the parents of Eliza Ann Watkins that was born about circa 1820's. Eliza Ann married Horace Lathrop of Pittsfield, Washtenaw, Michigan in 1838. The marriage record lacks information of who her parents are, her birth date or birthplace, or where she is "of". Eliza Ann died within the first year of her marriage. I haven't been able to find any death record on her nor her burial.

 I looked to the 1850 census of Washtenaw County and found  a Watkins family on the same census page of Horace Lathrop residing in Pittsfield, Michigan.

Charles Tripp died 1878 at Ann Arbor, Michigan. He and his wife Margaret are buried in Forest Lawn Cemetery at Ann Arbor, Michigan.


Charles Trip's Obituary:
Charles Tripp, one of Ann Arbor's most respected citizens, died on Wednesday
morning last, after a prolonged and complex illness, at the age of sixty-five
years. He was born in Epson, New Hampshire, on December 12th, 1812, and moved to this city in the spring of 1843, when he formed a partnership with VolneyChapin, for the manufacture of steam engines. He continued tin business at the foundry until the time of his death, and was at different times associated as
partner with Messrs. Loomis, Ailes and Price, the latter of whom is still
connected with the business. As a business man he was respected by all for his
well known qualities of honesty and integrity. In public life he has held the
offices of supervisor, alderman, member of school board, chairman of the
Republican County Committee, and State Senator, having bee elected to the latter
position in 1854. At the time of his death he was president of the Ann Arbor Gas
Company, trustee of the Congregational Church, and director of the First
National Bank. In the building and supervision of the erection of the
Congregational Church, Mr. Tripp took a prominent part, and his services are
gratefully remembered.
Some thirty years ago he married Miss Margaret Henning, a sister of David Henning, formerly of this city, and now a resident of Chicago.
His wife and two daughters survive him. The elder daughter, Mrs. Eva, was
married about a year ago to Frank Bennet, of Jackson, cashier of the First
National Bank of that city. The funeral of Mr. Tripp was held on Friday
afternoon from his late residence on Huron street, and the large number of
citizens present was a testimony of the esteem in which he was held. Tributes to
the deceased were made by Judge Cooley and Rev. Mr. Ruder.
