HI, I think we might be related. My gr granfather was William Ezra Acre. He was born in Elgin, Canada and moved to MI with the family i 190. Helived for a time in Almont Twp., MI. According to his obit he had the following siblings Frank of Clare. Alex of Clifford; Mrs. Almeda Crossett of Detroit, and Mrs. Alma Stannard of Almont. Could this be your family. He was the son of William Nelson Acre and Rebecca Jane Silverthorn.
I thought that Alex name was John Alexander as according to Joe in Canada he was listed as John Acre in the Census up there. Also John A. Acre in the 1910 census for Lapeer.
Does any of this sound familiar. My dad was the youngest son of the family so his folks didn't travel much when he came along but his brother talked about family in the Pontiac area.
