On this website there is a full register report for Jarvis and all of his children except
Edward.
"Biographical History of Genesee County, Michigan" - page 282 and 283
Captain Jarvis E. Albro, of 1029 Garland street, Flint, was born on the Albro homestead
in Mt. Morris township April 14, 1842. His parents were pioneer settlers in the county.
His father, Rodman W. Albro, was born in the state of Rhode Island, but came in early life
to New York city, from which place he emigrated with his wife and three children to the
west in July 1839. He settled in what is now Mt. Morris township, in section thirteen.
His mother, Susan (Harper) Albro, was born in Nantucket, Massachusetts, and both father
and mother ended their days on the old homestead, the former attaining the age of
eighty-four, passing away in November, 1897. The mother died in August, 1864, in her
sixty-fourth year. Their family consisted of seven children, of whom Jarvis was the
fourth.
He was reared on the farm, attending the district school, and continuing there until he
was eighteen years of age. He then attended the Union school in Flint for one year,
completing his studies sufficiently to enable him to take up teaching, in which he was
engaged for one year.
On August 11, 1862, he enlisted in the Twenty-third Michigan Infantry and went to the
front for active service for his country and continued in the field until the close of the
struggle in 1865, being mustered out in July of that year. He was in the army of the Ohio
and took part in many of the trying conflicts of the war. He was present at the siege of
Knoxville, Tennessee, Resaca, in Georgia, Atlanta, Franklin and Nashville, Ft. Anderson,
North Carolina, and Kingston, same state. A private when he enlisted, his manliness,
courage and cool-headedness soon won him recognition, and he was steadily promoted through
the first and second lieutenantcy by Governor Austin Blair, and later to the rank of
captain by Governor Crapo. He served in the latter capacity until mustered out at
Salisbury, North Carolina, at the date previously stated. As is naturally to be expected
he is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, and is at present chaplain of the
Governor Crapo Post, No. !
145.
After returning from the war he was engaged as foreman of a farm near Greenfield, Wayne
county, Michigan, which farm was owned by James F. Joy. He continued at that work for
three years, and then for four years filled a place of similar capacity on the farm of
E.N. Wilcox. He then returned to the Mt. Morris farm. He took an active part in the
general affairs of the community. He served as supervisor for eleven years and was again
elected, but resigned office. He was also elected to the place of county drainage
commissioner, which place he held for eight years. Since coming to Flint Mr. Albro has
consented to assist in the public affairs of the city and has for two years been alderman
from the fifth ward. He is at present acting as president of the Genesee County Pioneer
Picnic Association.
In the educational line, also, has Mr. Albro cast much of his influence for progress
and advancement. For three years he was superintendent of schools in Mt. Morris township,
and was chairman of the board of supervisors in 1884, although a Democrat, he being the
first Democratic chairman ever chosen to that position in that township.
On Christmas day, 1876, he was married to Miss Margaret L. Carpenter, of Mt. Morris
township, daughter of Rowland and Cordelia Carpenter, also pioneers of the county. Five
children have been born to them, consisting of Morton, Gertrude, wife of Melvin McNeil;
Alice, Raymond and Sherman.
Mr. and Mrs. Albro are also helpful and consistent members of the Garland street Methodist
Church.
Many of the dates are incorrect in the above bio, death dates of parents are wrong, also
mother's maiden name. It also fails to mention he was married twice. On the 1880
census he is married to Susan and has a son Edward. He does give married twice on the 1910
census. It also fails to mention the two children from his first marriage. Son Edward
listed on the 1870 census as age 8, daughter Jessie E. listed on the 1880 census as age
8.
Bio gives birth year of 1842, headstone reads 1841, 1900 census gives 1842, death
certificate gives birth 14 Apr 1841.

I would assume that Edward and mother Susan died in Wayne Co. between 1870 and 1875.
However, I have not been able to find any proof online.
