Hi Gerry,

Have you ever been to the U of MI Library site, they have a searchable index
to all of MI County History books with biographical sketches of our early
ancestors, here is some of what I found:

Here is the site:
http://www.hti.umich.edu/m/micounty/

Title: History of Washtenaw County, Michigan : together with sketches of its
cities, villages and townships...and biographies of representative citizens
: history of Michigan.


"The murder was committed in a house on the southeast corner of North and
River streets, latterly occupied by Hiram Day. "



HISTORY OF MACOMB COUNTY. Harry Day, a son of Erastus Day. aged about three
years was drowned in a well May 27, 1844.

URIEL DAY, son of Harry Day, of Dalton, Mass., and Nancy Chamberlin, of
the - same place, was born in Otsego County, N. Y., December 10, 1810; lived
nine years in Pennsylvania and moved to Macomb County in 1833, and cleared a
farm on Section 7, Armada Township, on which he still resides. He was
married, September 12, 1833, to Olive Sperry, who was born August 22, 1812;
they had four children -Emily, born June 25, 1834, married S. Hulett, and
lives in Armada Township; Cordelia, born June 8, 1837, married H. Howgate,
and lives in Washington, D. C.; Caroline, born December 16, 1839, married
Robert McKay, and lives in Bruce Township; Lucinda E.,born Octpber 16, 1862,
married John McKay, and lives in Armada Township. Mr. Day has been a
prominent man in the early history of Macomb County, and is, in politics, a
Republican; he has been for many years a member of the M. E. Church and
assisted in building houses at Romeo and Armada.

Then at Michigan Gendis I found many Day's but here are 2 examples:
