As I had long suspected, Elon G. Rockwood was not the son of my Silas Rockwood. Instead, according to his Death Certificate, he was the son of David Rockwood and Hannah Stafford (?). He was living at 606 N. Walnut St. in Bay City, Michigan, at the time of his death. The cause of death was "Arterial Sclerosis".
