The following census data was contributed by Cathy Gowdy:

James and Worlenda Fellows are also listed on the 1840 & 1850 Michigan Censuses. Their children listed in 1850 were:

Nathan born ~1830
Milton  born ~1832
Dorcas b. ~1834
Henry born ~ 1836
Abial born ~1839
Louisa born ~1842
James M. and wife Worlender J. (Harrison) Fellows were living in Goodhue County, Minnesota in 1860, post office, Florence.  Worlender's return show her birth in about 1812 in Ohio. Their son, Abiel, is living with them. Their son Milton J. Fellows had married and lived near Lake City with his wife Susan and their children Henry, born in Wisconsin in about 1855, and James F., born in Minnesota about 1859 (see also the 1880 Federal Census of Green Lake County, Wisconsin, Worlender also lived with her sister Martha Harrison Bishop).

James M. Fellows also descended from a prominent pioneer family; his father was Colonel Abiel Fellows. Mark D. Fellows has compiled a very interesting history of the Fellows family with great insight in the way of  "A Scrap of History of Early Decatur Michigan and Vicinity 1929-1976", by Catherine Howland.  Heading a letter from Mrs. Richard J. Hayck (Sarah Fellows) 1910.

The children of Worlender Harrison and James M. Fellows were:


13.8.1 Nathan Fellows, was born in about 1830.

13.8.2 Milton J. Fellows, was born in about 1832 in Michigan.  Milton married Susan (unknown, however, the 1880 census data below listed Milton's mother-in-law's surname as "Buck").  The Minnesota Death Certificate Index lists his Milton's death as 13 February 1912 in Hennepin County, Minnesota.  In the 1880 Federal Census of Winnebago City Village, Faribault County, Minnesota, ED# 63, page 134A, Milton and Susan's household listed:

#127  182    Fellows, Milton J.     m     48                           Grocer                  Michigan

Milton and Susan were listed in the 1900 and 1910 Federal Censuses of Hennepin, City of Minneapolis, (ED# 21, sheet 12B in 1900 and ED#...... in 1910).  Milton listed his date of birth as May 1832 and Susan listed her birth as May 1836 in 1900.  Susan stated that she had given birth to 3 children, 2 of whom were still living in 1900.  They both stated that they had been married for 45 years, Milton listed his occupation as a candy merchant.

In 1910, Susan stated that she had given birth to 2 living children, they were both well into their seventies, Milton was 78 and Susan was 74.  They had been married for 55 years, I could only make out the word "confectionery" in the occupation column for Milton.

A lookup volunteer in Minnesota sent the following information from Milton's death record:

"Milton J. Fellows, 4126 Lyndale Ave. N.  was a white male, married.  He was born May 19, 1832 (79 years, 8 months and 24 days) in Prairie Ronde, Mich to James Fellows, Michigan, and Worlinder Harrison, Ohio.  The informant was Susan A. Fellows.  He died of senility."

In 1900 Henry and Ruth were living in Oshtemo Township, Kalamazoo County, Michigan, ED# 125, sheet 8A.  The census is pretty faint, I read Henry's date of birth as January 1836 and Ruth's age as 63, her month and year of birth were unreadable.  Ruth stated that she had given birth to 4 children, two of whom were still living; they both stated that they had been married for 42 years.  Also listed in the 1900 household were Ruth's sister and her mother, both of their first names were also unreadable.
