      2. Received 30 Jul 2003 from Frederick descendant and researcher Mary Lou Spaulding, 1502 Haney Dr., Hays, KS 67601, 785-628-6465. The following is a partial excerpt concerning the following relation to David Frederick (see David's notes for a full transcript of Mary Lou's notes). What is interesting is the probate mention of Jonathan Demuth as an uncle to Matthew Frederick. Should this have been a son-in-law since his wife Harriet was the dau. of Jonathan as noted in the death record of Harriet. The same probate mentions a son of Jonathan named Reuben Demuth, who appears as a witness at the first wedding of Ambrose Frederick (a brother of Matthew). Needs investigating. Consider the following:
      A.1838-1867; Ingham Co. Michigan Marriages (FHL book 977.426 V 25m), p. 63: Ambrose Frederick, 30, Ingham Twp. and Cecilia Northrup, 19, Vevay, 11 Apr 1850, by H. Parker, J.P. Rherben Dermuth (or Demuth) and Choney Converse, Vevay, Witnesses. 2:188.
      B. 1867; Abstracts of the Early Probate, (FHL book US/Com 977.426) pg. 2a, Record of Ingham Co., MI 1838-1869: #118, Demuth, Jonathan, dcd. PA 22 Apr 1856 by John W. Phelps, creditor.

Final Acct. Petition 12 Nov 1860 by John W. Phelps Adm."
      [Kerry's note: See wife's record which confirms that Matthew was the son-in-law of Jonathan.]
