The first documentation of an African-American settler in Mecosta County Michigan was James Guy, who on May 30, 1861, obtained 160 acres in Wheatland Township. By 1873 African-Americans owned about 1,392 acres. The Homestead Act of 1862 allowed each settler 160 acres in Rolland Township. Most of the land where Remus sits at that time was owned by African-Americans.

I only have what I have gotten from my grandmother. She said the Calimans came from Bremen and Hamburg Germany (Moses Caliman Sr.). He was born in New Jersey in 1765 and then moved to Frederick Md, married Henrietta Pearl, the grandaughter of Robert Pearl OF FREDERICK md AND BALTIMORE CO, MD. More later. Peter Byrd

Hello: My relatives in Mecosta were part of the underground railroad and I am searching black ancestry. Names I am interested in are Gold, Gould, Chipman, Sutherland, Abbey, and Wells. My family is white, but an aunt has suggested there is mixed blood in our family from the Mecosta area. Thomas Gold, my great-great grandfather in 1850 lived in Newago, and census says "Cannot read or write," which may be a flag. He came from PA,to Western Canada, and then to Newago, MI, so his migration pattern is typical of blacks coming to settle in Michigan. His wife was Hannah Wells. The census tally recorded "white" for everyone on his page, but I wonder if he was a mulatoo or a quadroon passing for white, which I believed happened somewhat frequently? Anyway, many questions. Thanks for any help you may have. Trudy Last. Bedford, MA. E-mail: trudylast@yahoo.com
