Looking for information on Jared REVERE and Sarah Elizabeth HILL. Would especially like to find parents, siblings and bithplace.

.1 Jared REVERE b. c. 1804-08 in US (NY?) d. probably bef. 1871. In 1861 Ontario Census not 1871. Likely tombstone at Vining Cemetery, Nissouri Township, Middlesex County, Ontario, Canada. Name probably misread as "Fred".

Married: 7 Jan 1847, Nissouri Twp., Oxford Co., Ontario, Sarah Elizabeth Hill b. ca 1825 in US (NY?) d. after 1880 (MI?).

Sarah Elizabeth REVERE is in 1851 Ontario census not 1861. She had left Ontario for Michigan by 5 Oct 1858 when she married John R. Cope in Decator, Van Buren, Michigan. Michigan census records show her name varying from Sarah E. (1860 Census Van Buren Co., MI) to Elizabeth (1870 Census Van Buren County, Hartfort Township, So. Haven Post Office) and back to Sarah E. (1880 Census Newaygo Co., MI).

Jared REVERE and Sarah Elizabeth Hill REVERE lived in a log house at conc. 4, Lot 21, West Nissouri Township, Middlesex Co., Ontario and owned a 50 acre farm.
They had six children.

NOTES:…. In 1861, Lydia and father Jared lived with Heatly and Mary Fitzimmons and children, near Jared’s farm. In 1871, at age 18, Lydia lived with WJ and Roseana Kelly and children in Ingersoll Township, in Oxford County, Ontario. Just east of West Nissouri Twp.
In 1861 William, age 12 lived with John and Mary Vanderburgh. Their children had already moved out. In 1871 he lived with James and Sarah Hunt and children, near his family’s farm. William Revere’s grave was found in Springfield/Kinsey Cemetery in Malahide Twp, Elgin Co. with the graves with his wife and children, Alice REVERE, Charlotte REVERE, and Ruth Mary (May?) Revere. Ida's grave was not located.

William REVERE stayed in Ontario and made his home with his family in Springfield Village, Malahide Township, Ontario. Lydia went to the US and married Silas Russell on 1 May 1873 in Chicago, IL. After returning to Ontario for a time and having two children (Emily Adiline and William) at Harwich Township, Kent County, Ontario, they returned to the US and settled in Michigan City, IN. The whereabouts of George, Francis, and Cordellia are not known.

Elizabeth Hill's name was listed as Sarah in census records in Ontario (1851). Her daughter and son, Theresa and Hiram, from the marriage with Jared REVERE, left Ontario and stayed with Sarah Elizabeth REVERE Cope and John R. Cope in Michigan, at least from 1860 through 1870. Theresa and Hiram are both listed as living in the household of John R. Cope (age 34) in the 1870 Census of Van Buren Co., MI. This census also lists Elizabeth Cope, wife (Sarah Elizabeth REVERE Cope) age 42, Adrena (age 14), Fanny M. (age 7), and Minnie M. (age 2). Josephine was not listed.

Sarah Elizabeth REVERE Cope and John R. Cope had chidren:
Adrian (Adrena), Josephine, Fanny Mae, Minnie M. and Maude. Adrian and Josephine were propbably the product of a previous marriage of John Cope's.

Any additional information will be appreciated.
