George Pack, Jr.
George Pack, Jr. (1794 in Saint John, New Brunswick, Canada – April 15, 1875 in Pack's Mills, Michigan) was a businessman, landowner, sawmill operator, and postmaster on the Lower Peninsula of Michigan. The town of Pack's Mills of which he was also postmaster, was named after him. Pack's son, George Willis Pack; grandson, Charles Lathrop Pack; and great-grandson, Randolph Greene Pack were to follow him in the timber business in Michigan, New York and beyond.
== Early life and family ==
Pack had moved to Michigan from upstate New York, in 1848. Born in Canada, Pack had first moved to Jefferson County, New York, with his father, George Pack, Sr., and 10 of his siblings, including brother John Pack.
From Jefferson County, Pack removed to Madison County, New York, to be near the parents of his wife, Maria Lathrop Pack. After a few years "near Maria's father, Abram Lathrop, in Madison Clounty; they then moved twelve miles away to Peterboro",〔Eyle, p. 2〕 about east and south of Syracuse. In search of new opportunities, he used proceeds from the sale of a farm near Watertown, New York, to purchase just outside of Lexington, Michigan.
With ten children in tow, George and Maria Pack boarded "an Erie Canal sidewheeler () rode it to the end of the line at Buffalo and from there headed up Lake Erie to Lake Huron, disembarking at Lexington, on the eastern shore of the Michigan thumb, overlooking Lake Huron",〔Eyle, p. 2〕 where they spent the next 13 years.
