He is a Canadian by circumstance of birth, but for many years has been one of the most loyal and helpful of the adopted sons of this township, and has ever given his support to such measures as he has esteemed likely to be of general benefit to the community. Henry F. Dobbyn was born September 9, 1846, and is the son of James and Margaret (Drake) Dobbyn...
On April 21, 1868, Mr. Dobbyn laid the most important stone in the foundation of his success by his marriage to Martha Johnson, the daughter of Newton Johnson, deceased, both of whom are natives of the state of New York.

Rockwell, of Coloma; and Daniel, of Covert township.
