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.
