Census: 1870 Living with her father and step-mother in Danville, Michig Census: 1880 Living with her husband Newton Seymour, a farmer, in Woodstock, Lenawee County, Michigan Census: 1900 With her husband, a butcher, and children, in Fowlerville, Livingston County, Michigan Census: 1910 With her husband and children in Fowlerville, Livingston County, Michigan Census: 1920 Living with her husband Newton Seymour, a farmer, in Handy Township, Livingston County, Michigan Residence: 1899 Fowlerville, Livingston County, Michigan

I just did a Mich. census check for 1880 and there is no Newton Seymour in Bridgeport, Saginaw Co; he is definitely living in Woodstock, Lenawee Co. with his wife Mary Grace. It's spelled Seymore in this enumeration.

Mary Grace's father Rev. William Henry Bakewell was a Methodist minister and served in Bridgeport, Saginaw County, in 1871; no doubt, Mary Grace and Newton met while the Bakewells were living there.
