PIONEER HISTORY OF INGHAM COUNTY

loaned to a representative of the Anneke Jans estate to be used
as proof in certain matters and was never returned, nor any trace
of it found, though it would have been an invaluable record.
Martin Dubois and his wife, Margerite Avery, whom he married
in 1791, came to Bunkerhill, Ingham county, Michigan, at an
early day to live with their children, who were pioneers of that
township, and both died on the same day some time in the year
1854, and were both buried in the same grave, after a double
funeral had been held. He had reached the ripe old age of 94.
When the marker was placed on Martin Dubois' grave commemorating his service in the Revolution, flowers and a flag were
placed on the grave of his wife who for over sixty years trod life's
pathway by his side.
Jacob Dubois married Sarah Buck, and came to Ingham county
while it was still a wilderness, and it is to his granddaughter, Miss
Adelia Dubois, we are indebted for the history of the Dubois
family in Ingham county, and their pioneer experiences in both
Alaiedon and Bunkerhill townships.
With the marriage of Garret Dubois and five of his brothers
and sisters the line merged into that of Anneke Jans, one of the
most prominent characters the history of New York has furnished.
