MILLAGE Charles Millage was born Sept. 2,

1807 New Jersey . Married Sept. 3, 1831, Eveline Ouderkirk, born Feb . 11, 1811 and daughter of Isaac Ou­derkirk and wife Frances Van Olin-da, d a u g h t e r of Pi ter Van Olinda and wife E v a Spoor.

Tn» mar r i age of Charles Millage is recorded in the Dutch Reformed Church of Florida, Montgomery Co. His address is given a s Arckport , Steuben county, N. Y.

Three children were born to Chas. and Eveline before 1842 when they moved to London, Monroe county, Mich.

Charles Millage died Oct. 14, 1891. His wife died Aug. 27, 1863. Both a re buried in the family lot, Old Ceme­tery, London, Mich. Eveline Ouder­kirk Millage's g randfa ther Abraham JGak Pa rk , 111.

Ouderkirk, Rev. Sol., died Oct. . 12, 1844 Is buried on the same iot.

We know tha t Charles Millage had one brother and one sister. Do not know their names. His mother was left a widow when the children were young. Charles was only a boy when he drove a horse on the Erie canal. He would tell me about him his mother tried to wrap him in warm scarfs because the cold w a s severe. In nis old age, ha continually talked of his wife and how good she was. Also of a man named Quackenbos, whom my mother thought w a s an uncle.

Can arty of our readers assis t me wi th this difficult p rob lem?
