Oh my gosh!! You have no idea how happy you have made me. Thank you so much for the
info., your help and your time. I didn't think anyone would even answer my post.
This is so exciting!
I would appreciate anything else that you can find on the Lyell family and on Sarah Ann
Holcomb, wife of Thomas. I believe she is the daughter of John W. and Lucy Jane Lyell but
don't have any proof. I'd love to find when and where she died and is buried. I
noticed in the introduction on the cemetery that the info. was provided by Mrs. Kate
HOLCOMB Mansfield who was 81 in 1953. To bad she isn't around. I bet she would be a
wealth of info.
There was also another daughter that I know survived to adulthood by the name
Salatha/Celatha who married Thomas Lamberth if you should find anything on her family. I
don't know if they made the trip to NV or not. I can't find any trace of them in
any census records.
John and Lucy Lyell had about 9 children but some may have died in Ill.
Do you have access to marriage records for Washoe Co.?
Please contact me at my e-mail address:
