I am new to the list and interested in sharing information on John Dewey b. early
1800's in Canada, married 1863 to Alice Close b. 1848 in Quebec, both of Irish
parents. They followed Alice's parents Allen Close and Catherine Doone to Saginaw,
Michigan in 1865, where they raised a family consisting of John W. Dewey b.ca 1865,
Catherine Dewey b.ca 1866, Sarah J. Dewey b. ca 1868, Christina Dewey b. ca 1869, James
Dewey b. ca 1871, Hugh Francis Dewey b. ca 1872, Ellen C. Dewey b. ca 1876, Daniel Dewey
b. ca 1879, Michael Dewey b. ca. 1883.
James Dewey came to Canada in the 1890's and married Mary Adams and raised a family of
nine children. In 1926 he took his family to Royal Oak, Michigan and there he and his
sons found work, returning to Canada with all his family in 1927 and remaining there.
Any information would be appreciated.
