Atkins a former resident of Tompkins Co. NY was among the foremost pioneers of 1838 and located upon the east half of the northeast quarter of section 26 of Watson twp on section 24 was a squatter names David Updyck, who after a brief residence, disposed of his improvements to permanet settler. With him Mr. Atkins remained until he had completed a house, to which he speedily brought his family. Mr. Atkins experienced all the hardships of pioneer life, etc.etc. Do you have this? I also have a copy of the deed where the land was sold to some of my relation the Mclaughlins by the heirs of Samuel Atkins. Janet. I emailed her and said I would pay for some copies. She sent these to me snail mail on February 24, 1998, In these papers that were copied from this 1880 book of Allegan County, History Book it said that Calab D. Carmen, another pioneer from Tompkins County, N.Y. , located in 1838 upon 40 acres on section 23 (maybe 25) . He was the father-in-law of Mr. Atkins, and found with him a temporary home until he could build a log house for himself. Mr. Carmen was by trade a shoemaker, and during the early years of his residence numerous demands were made upon his skill. He resided on the place he first occupied until his death, ten years later at a very advanced age.
