History of John Henry Williams as told by his son, Jack David Williams July 9, 1978
John Henry Williams was born in England. His mother died giving birth to him. His father was killed a month later in the mine. He came to the United States when he was 5 years old with a family named Hebbard. They didn't want him to come, but one of the daughters said she wouldn't go unless they brought the baby. His life was difficult from then on. The family moved to Calumet, Michigan. John Henry got the last of the food, clothes, etc. Mr. Hebbard beat him often as he was drunk most of the time. When John Henry was 17 years old, he hit him back, putting him under the table. John Henry packed his things and left. As far as we know, he worked as a sharpshooter during the strike in Calumet.
He worked in Detroit for a while - he was a friend of Henry Ford, who referred to him as a "squirrel" because John Henry would climb up places nobody else would.

John married Hendra, Myrtle 12 Jul 1920, Detroit, Wayne, Michigan. Myrtle (daughter of Hendra, Richard and Rowe, Mary Emily) was born 26 Jul 1895, Ishpeming, Marquette, Michigan; died 25 Jul 1929, Negaunee, Marquette, Michigan; was buried 28 Jul 1929, Ishpeming, Marquette, Michigan. [Group Sheet]

Notes:

Buried:
I looked (May 2009) for her grave at the Ishpeming Cemetery and it was not in the location that the cemetery record office said it was. They looked up in the original record and found someone had crossed out her name and said, "not here."
I believe she is buried there, but the records are incorrect and so we couldn't find it.
We looked again in July 2013 and found her buried in the same plot with her father, Richard Hendra

Notes:

Sent for a birth certificate - Dec 1862 Penzance Vol. 5c pg. 347. It is the wrong one.

Henry married Martin, Margaret Jane 11 Feb 1884, Helston, Cornwall, England. Margaret (daughter of Martin, George and Hebbard, Margaret) was christened 4 Jun 1860, Rinsey Breage, Cornwall, England; died 23 Jun 1884, Beacon, Camborne, Cornwall, England. [Group Sheet]

History of Richard Hendra and Mary Rowe AND Richard Williams and Emily Jane Thomas
as told by Bernice H. Williams 7 May 1978
Richard Williams and Emily Jane Thomas were married in England. They had one son, Harold before Richard came to America. Six years later, Emily followed with Harold. They lived at 634 N. 5th Street, Ishpeming, Michigan. They had 6 more children before Richard died.
Richard Hendra was a boarder at the Williams home. Mary Rowe was the maid. They married and had 2 children, Arthur and Myrtle. Mary got homesick, so Richard brought her back to England along with the 2 children. She died while there. Richard returned with the 2 children.
Then Richard Hendra married Emily Jane Thomas Williams. They had a stillborn boy and Roy Irving Hendra.
The home at 634 N. 5th Street stayed in the family until the summer of 1973 when its only occupant, Stanley Williams died. It was then sold to a family by the name of Niemi.

After studying the English census, I have determined that the best guess for our Mary is Mary E. with the father John and mother, Catherine in 1871 and Mary E. in 1881 with mother Phillippa. John and Phillippa are in the Ishpeming census in 1900. Mary is listed as being born in Phillack which is in the Redruth district. Therefore, I have determined that the civil registration for Mary Emily in Redruth Dec 1868 Vol. 5c, pg 283 is the correct one.
Received certificate: b. 12 Dec 1868 High Lanes, Phillack - father: John Rowe mother: Catherine Rowe, formerly Skinner
