Betty,
Hi. I looked for George Wales.There were two listed but they did'nt marry
until 1911 and 1914 and one was in Arizona and the other in Wyoming. I
did find a couple of other interesting things. In the 1870 census for Humboldt
there was George, Sarah M. and Sarah. I am guessing that Sarah M. Wales
was the mother?Then I found a Nevada directory listing for P.C. Wales,
proprietor, Dayton Hotel corner of Third and Third in Dayton, Lyon co.
for 1862. In 1868 there is a listing for S.M. Wales(Widow of Charles P.)Pike
St., Dayton Nevada. I am assuming that P.C. was Charles P. and he was the
father of George and Sarah? Then in an abstract for the Nevada State Journal
there is a marriage listing for Mrs. Sarah M. Wales to Joseph Crank for
12-5-1870. I looked again in the census and Joseph Crank is listed on the
same page as the Wales family in 1870 for Humboldt County. Also, an abstract
for the death of (Mrs.) Sarah M. Wales 12-26-1872 in Winnemucca age 50
years. I also found a marriage for Mary Wales to William Stuart in Lyon
County 10-28-1862 Vol.A pg.6. Could she be a sister of Charles P. Wales?
I hope some of this is new. If you would like the information for the two
George's let me know.
