Gedney Venter appears in the 1850 U.S. Federal Census in Pontiac, Oakland, Michigan.
I did a search of the Library of Michigan, Naturalization Index. I believe Gedney appeared in the index in Oakland:
Last name: Vinter; First name: Gedwey; first paper: V6, P134
I ordered the first papers for $20. Before 1906, first papers generally contained very little information about the individual. However, I do hope that they contain something useful.

S.G.'s Family--Philemon Baldwin b 1758 in Connecticut
I'm working on a line for one of my YW.
Here is the direct line:
* Odessa Baldwin, b. 24 January 1912; daughter of:
* Oscar Charles Baldwin, b. 22 January 1879 (married Julia Ann Parkinson, b. 10 June 1885); son of:
* Caleb Hyrum Baldwin, b. 19 July 1846 (married Jane Elizabeth Cartwright, b. 5 June 1854); son of:
* Caleb Clark Baldwin, (married Ann Eliza Robinson); son of:
* Caleb Baldwin, (married Nancy Kingsbury); son of:
* Philemon Baldwin, b. 1758 in Danbury, Fairfield, Connecticut (married Esther Charles, b. 1760);
Philemon Baldwin and Esther Charles had several children. The oldest child is a son, Asa Baldwin, b. 1780 in New York. Asa Baldwin married Milcah Southworth, b. 1795. They had several children. Many of these children have spouses and one or two children. To me, the families did not look complete since most families in that time period had several children. A few of Asa and Milcah's grandchildren have spouses with one or two children. Again, I wonder if these families are complete.
I believe this would be a good place to start working with my YW.
After the descendants of Asa and Milcah are found, then my YW could move on to Asa's siblings and their descendants.

Sterling McCallum, son of Mary Rosina Venter and Jesse McCallum
After quite a bit of searching, I found Sterling McCallum. He settled in Spokane, Washington and died there.
I think he probably married there, even though he married a girl from Nebraska. This is because the WWI draft schedule said he was 27 years old and single. In the 1920 census, though, he was married.
1910 Census in Genoa, Nance, Nebraska.
* He was living in the household of his mother, Mary McCallum. Their names were spelled McCullum.
* Mary McCallum is listed as a widow who had 5 children with 3 of them living.
* Also in the same household is Sterling's sister, Florence Mollin and her husband, Alfred Mollin, and son, Philip Mollin.
WWI Draft Record, 1917-1918
Draft record was in Spokane, Washington. Sterling is listed as single.
1920 Census, Spokane, Spokane, Washington
* Sterling M. McCallum
* Estella C. McCallulm, born in Nebraska.
Question? Because Estella was born in Nebraska.
1940 Census, Spokane, Spokane, Washington
* Sterling McCallum
* Estelle S. McCallum

Orison E Snow and Mary Jane Slocum
Random Notes on this family:
Orison E. Snow married Mary J. Slocum in 1842. They had a daughter named Frances M. Snow born about 1845. Frances was in the 1860 Census with her parents but not in the 1870 Census. However, in the 1880 Census, Frances Soule and William Soule are living next door to Orison and Mary Jane Snow. Their children are listed as Charles (8), Mary (6), and Francis (4)
In the 1880 Census, William Soule and Frances have the following children: Charles B Soule (18); Frances M. Soule (14); Arthur D. Soule (7); Eddie A. Soule (6) and Agnes E Soule (2 months).
Also in the 1880 Census we have the following:
Orison Snow and Jane M. Snow living one page previous to William and Frances Soule. Also listed in their household are Franklin B. Deming (24) as grandson, Jennie M. Deming (16) as wife, and Minnie E. Deming, (2/12) as daughter.
The age for Jennie M. is the same age as Mary Jane Snow. The name could have been Janie not Jennie. If Jennie was 16 in 1880, she was born about 1864. That means her mother (Frances M. Snow) would have been about 19 years old when her daughter was born.
Frances M. Snow married Henry William Soule. They probably married before 1870 since Frances was no longer living in her parents household. I found marriage records of two of their children. The marriage records identify both of the parents.The children are:
* William Henry Soule, b. 1881; married Cora Myra Eaton in 1906.
* Edward A. Soule, b. 1874; married in 1909 Francelia Story, b. 1874.
There is a marriage record for Clarence Edwin Deming (b 1882). In 1915 her married Lilian Eva Smith. His parents are listed as Frank B. Deming and Mary J. Soule. Based on other records, I'm assuming that Frank B. Deming was born in 1856. Mary J. Soule could be the same person as Jennie M. Deming found in the 1880 Census.
In the 1900 Census, Mary Snow is living with Frank B. Deming and Jennie M. Deming. They have a daughter Minnie (20) and a son Clarence E (18). Mary Snow is listed as the mother. This could have been a mistake and she is really the grandmother. This census also says that Mary Snow gave birth to one child and one is still living.
Who, then are Willie V. Snow and Allen Snow who were listed in the 1870 Census?

Lewis H. Smith, b. about 1805
I have been looking for the parents of Lewis H. Smith for many, many years. Lewis was most likely born about 1805 and probably was born in Washington, Dutchess, New York. In the 1828 he purchased land in Macedon, Wayne, New York. He married Phebe Ann Mott, who is the daughter of Samuel Mott.
Today I found a biographical sketch of Theron J. Smith, Lewis H. Smith and Phebe Ann Mott. The biography said that Theron descended from early settlers of Dutchess County. It went on to say that his grandfather was Samuel Smith, a Revolutionary War veteran. It also said that in his later years, Samuel Smith served as a representative for the State Assembly of New York for his district.
The political graveyard has an incomplete listing of former representatives. Samuel Smith was not among those who served from Dutchess County. http://politicalgraveyard.com/geo/NY/ofc/asmbly.html
On Ancestry.com, I searched the 1800 Census record for Washington, Dutchess, New York. I found a Samuel Smith listed. On the same page there was a Samuel Mott listed. This is a good connection because Phebe Ann Mott's father is Samuel Mott. http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?rank=1&new=1&MSAV=0&msT=1&gss=angs-c&gsfn=samuel&gsln=smith&msbpn__ftp=dutchess%2c+new+york&uidh=flh&pcat=CEN_1800&h=227716&recoff=6+7&db=1800usfedcenancestry&indiv=1

Research for Martin's Line--Orison E. Snow, b. 1817; Tolland, Hampden, MA
I want to find a family line for my son to work on. I thought it would be really neat to have him working on a line on his father's side. The problem is that most of Martin's ancestors come from Denmark, with a few from England and Scotland. I know nothing about international research. I really wanted a line with U.S. roots.
I found it! Here is the line I found:
Orison E. Snow, b. 1817, Tolland, Hampden, MA
Orison has one daughter Frances Snow. The a quick look at the 1860 and 1870 censuses indicate he had more children than that. There is plenty of research for Orison.
In addition, Orison's brothers and sisters appear to have their basic temple work done, but their lines don't progress forward much either. So, this is a great place for my son to work.
Now to trace how I found Orison:
* Orison E. Snow, b. 1817 he is the son of Tilly Snow and Lucinda Moore.
* Lucinda Moore, b. 1790 is the daughter of Samuel Moore and Diana Hamilton. She married Orison E. Snow on 12 Jan 1816 in Tolland, Hampden, MA.
* Diana Hamilton, b. 1769 in Hampden, MA, is the daughter of Thomas Hamilton and Judith. There is not marriage information for Diana and Samuel Moore.
* Thomas Hamilton, b. 1749 and Judith, b. 1744, had seven children: Sarah Hamilton, Thomas Hamilton, Lorena Jane Hamilton, Eunice Hamilton, Diana Hamilton, and Jonathan
* Lorena Jane Hamilton, was b. 1765 in Granville, Berkshire, MA. In 1762 she married Isaac Williams, b. 1762. They had four children, Almond Williams, Lorena Jane Williams, Isaac Williams, and Janette Williams.
* Lorena Jane Williams, was b. 1798 in Granville, Berkshire, MA. About 1817 she married Joel Lorand Gleason, b. 1796. They had at least three children, Flora Clarinda Gleason, Jane Gleason, Lorena Eugenia Gleason.
* Flora Clarinda Gleason was b. 1819 in Tolland, Hampden, MA. In 1849 she married Abraham Washburn, b. 1805. Among their children was born Philena Washburn.
* Philena Washburn, b. 1855. She married William Adam Warnock. Among their children was Irvin LeRoy Warnock.
* Irvin LeRoy Warnock, b. 1892 in Monroe, Sevier, Utah. He married Lexia Dastrup. Among their children was Arda Jean Warnock.
* Arda Jean Warnock married Don M Christensen. Among their children is Martin Don Christensen
* Martin Don Christensen married Michelle Dennis. Their children are Nicole Michelle Christensen and Hyrum Dennis Christensen.

Thomas J. Clark b. 1832, Atlantic County, New Jersey
I'm helping one of my young women find a family history line where she can work where no one else is. I think I found it tonight. I'm going to show her what I found and need to retrace my steps.
* Her direct ancestor is Mary Clark, b. 22 November 1833. Mary is the daughter of Samuel Clark and Rebecca Garner.
* Samuel Clark is the son of Joseph Clark and Elizabeth Sooy
* Joseph Clark is the son of David Clark and Elizabeth (Rachel) Betts. According to familysearch.org; Family Tree, the children of David Clark and Elizabeth Rachel Betts are:
Mary
Abner
Thomas, b. 1758; d. 1857 in Clark's Landing, Atlantic County, New Jersey
Benjamin
William
Noah
Rachel
Nehemiah
Joseph
* Joseph Clark married Mary Gibersen (1760 to 1845). According to familysearch.org, Family Tree, their children are:
Submit
Rebecca
James b. 1802 and married Sarah Endicott
David
Mark
(One died)
Elizabeth
Thomas
Lardner
Mary Ann
Caroline
Emeline
James Clark and Sarah Endicott were married in Atlantic County, New Jersey. According to familysearch.org, their children are:
Mary
John
Thomas
Lavina
George W.
Sarah Clark
Elezabeth
In famillysearch.org, none of these children except George have children. I did some preliminary research in Ancestry and found some successful research for Katie with Thomas J. Clark.
Here is a summary of my initial findings:
* 1880 Census, Pana, Christian, Illinois; married to Mary clark with six children, an adopted son, and a widowed sister, Mary Green.
* 1900 Census, Pana, Christian, Illinois; with Mary and two children; Mary had given birth to 7 children with 6 living.
* 1910 Census,
* Illinois Death Certificate: Thomas Clarke, [death certificate has an e on the end] b. 4 Oct 1832, Parents: James Clarke and Sarah Endicot

I did a search on Find a Grave for Mary Clark, died after 1930 in Christian County, Illinois. I found her obituary that listed her maiden name, parents names, husband's name, birth date, and birth place.

Michael Boor, Ane Dorothea, and Ann Trout
I've been working on my inlaws' line a little bit the past few weeks. They descend through Michael Boor, born about 1770 in Bedford County, Pennsylvania. Most research has Michael Boor married to Ane Dorothea, and some research says that Ane Dorothea is the same person as Ann Trout. I'm questioning that link.
It appears there might be two different Michael Boors who married two different Anns.
One Michael Boor was found in the 1840 Census living next to Ann Trout. In the 1850 Census, Michael Boor has an Ann Boor living in his household.
1840 Census:

Further research showed Michael Boor is the son of Nicholas Boor, who was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. The question is which Michael Boor?
SAR Application:
http://search.ancestry.com/Browse/view.aspx?dbid=2204&path=364.185&sid=&gskw=Michael+Boor
This application showed that Michael Boor's second wife was Ane Dorothea. If this is the case, then Ann Trout from the 1840 Census cannot be the mother of Ann Boor who was born about 1807 or a little later.
