Norris of Northern Lower Michigan

Surnames: Norris, Tennant, Hall, Fish
I'm looking for any details on the following people

John Norris b. 1778 Orleans Co., NY, married Mary ???
son: Seth Norris, married Nancy ???, settled in Traverse City, MI
son of Seth: Albert Norris, married Fanny Mariah Fish
son of Albert: Julius Norris, married Flossie Gladys Hall
Julius' children:
Charles William Tennant (adopted by Aunt), b.1923,d.1990
Wanietta (living, last I knew)

As you can see I don't have many dates. I don't seem to see anyone in the SSDI database that matched Julius (I'd expect him to be in it).

Some claimes to fame I guess:
Seth and Albert were supposedly among the first settlers of the Traverse City area (non-native of course).
Albert fought and was wounded in the battle of Gettysberg.

Now I don't have the actual documents to confirm this, but its the family lore if you will.
