Subject: Groom family in Michigan

Looking for any info on gr-gr-grandfather John Edmond Groom. In Dec 1853 he married Mary L. House of Algoma Township, Kent Co., Michigan with the name "Edmund Groom" listing age of 25 (making his DOB abt. 1828) and bought land in Algoma Township, Kent Co. in 1854 next to his father-in-law with the name of "John Edmund Groom(e)" on the property transaction. 1855 plat map shows him owning property as J.E. Groom. He no longer lived on his property by the 1860 census. Don't know where he came from or where he went. Can't find in 1850 or 1860 census. He is said to have died in the Civil War in Missouri but can find no military records. One daughter born in Mich. in 1856; son born in Savanale, (according to son's death cert. dated 1935-maybe Savannah?) Missouri in Jan 1863. Mom remarried back in Mich by 1869. Kids later census records states dad born "England", "U.S.", New York or "Unknown". I don't have any birth records for the 2 kids. Any help or suggestions appreciated!
