I was able to get ahold of the microfilm census report of Wadena County for
the year 1880. I found everybody I was looking for....and then some.
Harrison and Stephan Lyons were "Millie" Lyons (I thought it was Nellie)
Brothers. Harrison b. 1841, Stephan b. 1839 and Millie b. 1848. All were
born in N.Y. That would make Harrison and Stephan Brothers in Law to John J.
Cameron who was fabled to have 5 "Brothers who were killed at Gettysburg. He
had two Brothers in Law who were both wounded at Gettysburg. I also found my
GGGGrandparents Lyons, Alexander H. Lyons b. 1806 and Eliza A. Lyons b.
1812. They also were born in New York AS WERE BOTH OF THEIR PARENTS! That
would mean mid to early 1700's 13 Colonies stuff. I also learned the names
of Harrison and Annie Lyons children if anybody out there needs it. One
other very important new development. John and Millie had 4 children. I
only knew of three previously. The 4th Child was named Frank C. Cameron.
This is significant in that Amos (Fred) Cameron named his 1st Son Frank E.
Cameron. My guess is that some tragedy fell upon young Frank C. and that
Fred honored his little brother by naming his Son after him. John J. Cameron
was born in 1841 in (I believe) McNab Township Renfrew County Canada. I have
more documents on the way that should detail more facts about these people.
I am happy to keep sharing these findings if ya'll are interested. Thanks,
Dean Cameron
