Hello,
I have an original handwritten IOU written by Noland & Torreyson to W.J. Hamilton on
June 15, 1865 in Carson City, Nevada for the sum of $1200, and the receipt written by
Hamilton in 1866 when the loan was repaid. The receipt was in the possession of my great
grandmother, Geraldine McCarty Copp, and we are trying to determine what if any connection
there may have been between the Torreysons and McCartys or Copps. I have found a
connection between Torreyson and a McCarty in Wellsburg, WV: "Spring term of Brooke
Court 1854 - a decree to sell lots 218, 216, 175 and 176 commonly known as the Glassworks,
lately occupied by McCARTY and TORREYSON. Wellsburg Weekly Herald 23 Mar 1855." But
we aren't sure if this McCarty is connected to our family. Thanks very much for any
information you may have.
