Hi Wayne
I am just kicking off on the Clegg side of the family. They are on my wife's father' side of the family. All I have been given is the name Benjamin Clegg 1799-1864. I know not where or if the dates are accurate. I'm hoping that you might find some reference in your book. He was married to a Sarah?,
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Kindest regards

I seek information on Benjamin Clegg, b 1799, d 1864, possibly died in Australia. I have no further other than the fact that he was married to a Sarah?, they had at least one daughter Charlotte who later married James Haley 1836-1865.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

I have a photo of:
Registered Michigan Historical Site
Marker in Memphis, Saint Clair County, Michigan (north of Detroit, west of Port Huron)
"The Thing"
Thomas Clegg (1836-1939) and his English-born father, John, built "The Thing", the first recorded self-propelled vehicle in Michigan (and perhaps in the country) in 1884-85. The Thing, driven by a single cylinder steam engine with a tubular boiler carried in the rear, seated four. The vehicle was built in the John Clegg & Son machine shop here in Memphis. It ran about 500 miles before Clegg dismantled it and sole the engine to a creamery. The shop was razed in 1936, just a short time before Henry Ford offered to buy is for a Greenfield Village.
Note: Greenfield Village is in Dearborn, Michigan and has a collection of historical buildings from the auto industry and inventions, mostly relating to Ford himself and Thomas Edison. Good place to visit. Need two days, one for the Village and one for the museum. Food is expensive, pack for a picnic.
