Notes from Susan Johnston, World
Connect Project pages of Susan Johnston (http://wc.rootsweb.com/
cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=smj).
The son of Anthony and Hannah
Deroche, Benjamin was one of a family of six children, and one of
three boy triplets. He came to Bay City,
Michigan from Canada in 1871. He obtained work in the lumber
mills, and stayed there two years
after which he moved to Standish, Michigan where he made his home
until 1877. That year, he and his brother Homer walked from
Standish to Alabaster expecting to catch
the steamer Mason, or Cityof
Cleveland, to Crawford's Quarry, now the Port of Calcite. Due to the ice
on the lake, the boats were unable to
run and instead of waiting for the lake to open they decided to
walk to Presque Isle County. The trip
took them ten days and they arrived on Easter Sunday, 1877.
Benjamin told of trapping in his
youth on Benson's Lake near Newborough, Ontario with a man who had
deserted the Union Army during the
Civil War.
He purchased land in Presque Isle
County, three miles north of Posen,from his brother James. He
cleared the land and made his farm on
which he lived for forty years.
At age 73 he gave up farming and went
to live with his daughter Elsie and her husband Alph Richardson
in Rogers City.
