Notes:

BIRTH: 26 Dec 1924 Bay City, MI

NAME: Betty Mae Osborne. Betty's original registration of birth has her name spelled wrong... Bettie May Osborne. I remember mom some years back saying she went to the court house to get her name spelled right on her birth certificate because it would mess up her social security. Her school records listed her as Betty Mae Osborne. Her school record in 1930 lists her as going to Fremont School in Bay City with an address of 1218 Marsac St. Her birth certificate was corrected on Feb 7, 1984. The school records are some of the things she used to prove how she spelled her name.

PARENTS: Mother Mabel Fern Seeley. DNA tests have shown that her biological father was not Norman Osborne who was married to her mother and who raised her. DNA tests have shown that her biological father was Glaud Phelps. Some of the DNA tests consist of the following:
William Pugh, Jr whose mother was Doris Phelps (grandson of Levi and Anna; and child of Alvin) His DNA at 541 cM’s matching is consistent with 1st cousin once removed. This would mean that my mother’s father is a brother of Alvin Phelps.
Randy Gulick (grandson of Levi and Anna’s daughter Lydia) at 291 cM’s matching DNA. This is consistent with the lower end of a 1st cousin once removed relationship. This also means that my mother’s father is a brother of Lydia Phelps.
Harold Gulick (son of Levi and Anna’s daughter Lydia). This match was at 874 cM’s, which is a first cousin match. This also means that my mother’s father is a brother of Lydia Phelps.
Mooremaggie23 is a granddaughter of Glaud’s son Frederick. If mother was a child of Glaud, then Frederick would be a ½ brother, his child would be a ½ niece, and his grandchild would be a ½ grandniece. The match was 430 cM’s, which is fully consistent with a match of ½ grandniece.

IMMIGRATION: He immigrated on the SS Lauenburg arriving on March 1, 1898 in Galveston, Texas. He is number 29 on the passenger list.

Notes:

After years of seemingly unexplained DNA matches to our mother, we have finally came to the inescapable conlusion that our mother was the result of an extramarital affair between Mabel Seeley and an unknown male. A first cousin match, along with 2 half grand niece matches, a half grand nephew match and numerous other more distant matches showed that mother was a grandchild of Levi Phelps and Anna Degroat. The two different1/2 great niece matches, along with the others, showed quite convincingly that mother was the biological child of Glaud Phelps.

Birth:
Mayville is in Fremont Township

Buried:
Manasota Memorial Park

Glaud married Mabel Fern Seeley. Mabel (daughter of George Seeley and Harriet Emily Schultz) was born on 3 Aug 1898 in Frankenlust, Bay, Michigan, USA; died on 15 May 1943 in Bay City, Bay, Michigan, USA; was buried in May 1943 in Bay City, Bay, Michigan, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

BIRTH: 03 Aug 1898 in Bay City, MI per Terry---Mabel according to everyone in the family was born July 1, 1900. But the 1900 census says she was one year old in May of 1900. Mom swears her birthday is July 1st 1900. However, Bay City birth records show the true birth date. The 1900 Census says born July 1899. It is odd that when the month and year is given on such a young person, it could be a year off. Although I have seen that before and upon thinking about it I can understand how it could happen. Assume Mabel was born in July 1898 (the date of record over a year later could have been a few days off). Census taker asks on June 19, 1900 how old is Mabel? correct answer is 1, because she has not reached her second birthday, yet. The census taker asks what month was she born? Correct answer is July. I can then see the census taker writing down July 1899 because that was about 1 year ago. I don't know if that makes sense, but I have seen other children listed one year off, when it just didn't make sense that the parent would be a year off on the birthdate, especially such a young child.

PARENTS: George Seeley and Harriet Emily Schultz

MARRIAGE: 11 Aug 1917 in Prescott, Ogemaw, MI

DEATH: 15 May 1943 Bay City, MI

BURIAL: 18 May 1943 Elm Lawn, Bay City per Terry--I have Gramma (Mabel) Osborne's funeral home book with signatures of people paying respects: Includes....Walter Schultz, Mrs. O.E. Schultz (difficult to make out if O or C for initial in name), Mr. and Mrs. Paul Scholtz, Mr. N. Schultz, Mr. & Mrs. R. Schultz, Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Talor or Tabor, Mr. Fred Storrs & family, references on flowers from Uncle Walt and Uncle Rube. I suspect that a sister (named Emma) to George Seeley Jr. (the George married to Harriet) was married to Fred Storrs.

Notes:

Birth: 18 Feb1850 in Ira, Cayuga, New York per Michigan death certificate.

On the 1861 Canadian Census for Cramahe, Northumberland, Canada, his father & Aunt, Levi and Lucinda appeared in the household of Abert(age 54) & Abigail Porter(age 50). Also in the household children, Maurice Porter(age 25 and Porthena Porter(age 22). All were listed as born in the U.S. Willis appears on the 1861 Census in Brighton, Northumberland County. (Cramahe is about 11 miles from Brighton). We believe that his wife Sophronia died approximately 1861. This is probably indicative that she died prior to the 1861 census.

On the 1850 census in Ira, Cayuga, New York Willis (must be Levi) is listed as 6 months old on 8/10/1850.

Levi was a preacher for the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints. Elder Levi Phelps had given sermons in Flint, Saginaw and Grand Rapids according to newspaper listings. By 1920 he was living in Saline, Missouri where his third wife Anna Bierie died in 1929. He appeared on the Saline census in both 1920 and 1930. He moved back to Michigan and died in Tuscola County in 1935 at the age of 85. He appeared on the 1930 census with a fourth wife, Louie(Louise/Lorie?). We know little about her. He was unmarried on his death certificate. His death certificate listed him as a retired minister.

Died:
Age: 85

Levi married Anna Maria(Mariah) Degroat on 18 Feb 1882 in Arcadia, Lapeer, Michigan, USA. Anna (daughter of Anson Henry DeGroat and Mary Mills) was born in 1859 in North Dorchester, Middlesex, Ontario, Canada; died on 17 Mar 1900 in Surrey, Clare, Michigan, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

1870 living in residence of Alexander and Phoebe Carpenter. Phebe is the daughter of Abner Chase and Lydia Upton. Also next door on the census is Sharley Wilson, another daughter of Abner and Lydia. Abner and Lydia are quakers in Yarmouth, Elgin County Ontario. We have multiple autosomal dna matches with Abner & Lydia although we do not know the exact relationship. Also both sisters had either a son or grandson of John Mills/Abigail Minard as a witness at their weddings in Canada. We also have multiple autosomal dna matches to John Mills/Abigail Minard, although we do not have the exact line fleshed out. Mary may be a granddaughter to them.

Based on numerous DNA matches we believe that Amasa Chase was the illegitimate father of Mary Mills. He was living in Yarmouth at the time. Numerous matches show that his DNA goes through Mary Mills line to her descendants. After Mary died, two of her children were 'adopted' by Amasa's sister, Phoebe Carpenter in Lapeer, Michigan. We believe Mary's mother was a child or grandchild of John Mills & Abigail Minard. Again, numerous DNA matches to Mills/Minard come through Mary's line. Mary would have grown up in one of the Mills households. Unfortunately, the 1851 census for the section of Yarmouth that the Mills family lived in is missing. The 1841 census was head of household only, and we cannot identify Mary. The 1861 Census shows Mary living with her husband, Anson Degroat.

In a will written in July 1883 (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89SC-B6MF) ( image 107 and image 111) by Sharley (Chase) Carpenter (sister of Phoebe Carpenter and brother of Amasa Chase), Sharley referred to her "niece Anna Maria Phelps" and on another page referred to her "niece Anna Mariah Phelps". Sharley also lived next door to Phoebe at the time. (The correct term should have been grandniece.) The other children of Mary Mills are not mentioned.

She used to moan and yell out. Her funeral home record says she died of paralysis so probably had stroke at some time??
4/16/08-Terry had conversation with Phyllis Watson and Dorothy Seeley--Harriet and George II Seeley are buried in Pine Ridge Cemetery. There is a grave marker according to both Phyllis and Dorothy. It is just a flat brick like marker with their names on it. They both think they could find it if we were to go to the cemetery. So that is a project we want to do. Dorothy said seems like it is by a big tree. I had looked in the past for their graves but assumed there was no marker since I could not find it. (update: got location of grave plot from historical society. It is under a big tree, but there are no gravestones there. Stone apparently was removed.)


Buried:
