Eleazer's son Seth died when his little son Henry was only 7 years old. Henry grew up in New York, came to Michigan in 1837, then moved to Toledo, Ohio in the early 1860's, where his son Charles was born. Charles married Cora Rex and had four children: Coit, Beatrice, Dwight and James.

We have never figured out why he did that.
