 Description: I see that we you have Magdalena's maiden name as Loft However, I have found records that read: Trost and Troft. The only Bernard and Magdalena in the Michigan area that is shown by your db, would be in the same county, Leelanau. For the most part, records indicate Sutton's Bay.
 
 1880 Census of Bingham, Leelanau, Michigan:

 Daughter, Mary's birth ranges from 1860, as you listed, through 1868. Two records indicate that she was born in 1862.
 
 So, here is what I came up with.
 
 Daughter, Mary's death record states that she was born in 1862, lists her father as Bernard; no mother:
