  • Notes 
    • Sophira moved to Michigan with the family in 1865. She apparently met and married Martin Horan near Berlin, Ottawa County, Michigan in about 1868. They were living in Osceola County in 1870. Another reference gives the place of marriage as Mecosta Co., Michigan.

      Sophira and Martin homesteaded 80 acres in Lincoln Township, Osceola County, Michigan in 1871 near Sophira's parents' homestead. They moved to Munro Township, Cheboygan County, Michigan in 1876 and homesteaded another 80 acres there.
      She died of typhoid fever on 29 Oct 1887.
