Alderman was the first settler upon section 36, and William ELVERT the second, but a little while after Alderman. (pg. 182). In 1842, William Elworth (sic) was assessed 1 day of highway labor in District No. 7 (pg. 184). He was included in a list of voters in Berlin Township in 1846 and 1849.

They divorced in 1869, and were in separate households in 1870, both still in Ionia County. On the 1850 Ionia Township, there was also a 20 year old Cornelius Elvert, a Tailor born in Ireland, who lived in the home of Mason and Caroline Hearsey. He most likely is related to William. Perhaps a brother or nephew of William Elvert, as an 8 year old Cornelius Elvert is also living in the home of William and Anna Elvert (nee Brown). This appears to be him on the 1880 census, in Ionia Marriage and Divorce records, and in Catholic Cemetery Records: IGI Individual Record Cornelius Elvert Mary Butler 03 Nov 1858 , Ionia, Michigan Husband Age at Marriage: 35 Wife Age at Marriage: 24 SOURCE Batch M518462 Dates 1867-1877 0960508 V.

  Family	Anna Brown,   b. Abt 1816, Ireland d. 12 Oct 1888, Ionia County, Michigan (Age 72 years)
  Marriage	Bef 1850
  	Need to verify date of marriage to determine if Ann is the mother of all the children listed on the 1850 and 1860 census, or if some might have been Williams by a prior marriage. It appears all children born after the 1850 census are hers. Obtained a copy of the divorce file from Ionia County. It was very sketchy. The complete contents are as follows: Ann ELVERT vs. William ELVERT Jany 21st 1869 Bill filed and subpoena issued W.W. Mitchell "Compets Solo" -end-
