Your question has no answer, because michigan did not exist at the time. After this territory was siezed from the French in the French and Indian Wars, the British would not let colonists settle in any of the new lands taken (Michigan included) because they were too far away from safety, and the British could not afford to send troops way out there to protect them. Consequently, there were no American Colonists living in the region to make any contributions to the War of Independence.
American settlement of the region would not begin in-force until after the war, when Michigan became part of the socalled "Northwest Territories" that the British ceded to America after the war. Sorry.

Native Americans were going about their lives. The French had explored the region but didn't find any involvement in the war with the Brit's in my history books. Sorry.!!
