Lydia's husband, John is enumerated with the family in 1860, Batavia, Branch, MI. However, I do not believe he was in Michigan. For one, the 1860 US Agriculture census for Batavia, MI, lists "Lydia Ensley", not John. She is also listed in the Tax Assessments in 1865 and 1866 for Batavia Township, MI.


Looking through the Oregon, Early Oregonians Index, 1800-1860, find an entry for a John Ensley:
