Looking for information about Francis X. LEMBERT.
b. NY late 1830's
Served in Civil War in California (two enlistments) - 1861 to 1864 and 1864- to 1865
1867 - appears in Great Register in San Francisco
1876 - married Margaret Fitzgerald of San Francisco in Virginia City, Nevada
1890 Veteran's Census has him listed in Reno and Vicinity, Washoe County; indicates
he was shot in right hip by an Indian during his first enlistment.
1898 - listed in a probate file as iving in Reno - probate was for his brother, John
Baptist Lembert. Other siblings: Peter of Shingle Springs, California; Jacob of Mariposa,
California; Mary Menninger or Brooklyn, NY; Elizabeth Osthoff of New York City.
1900 - married Maggie C. Spaulding in Reno
1902 - died and is buried in Los Angeles National Cemetery
Some records have Francis H. rather than Francis X. There is always the problem of
records showing LAMBERT rather than LEMBERT. I believe Frank was in Washoe County,
Nevada, or that area at least since his marriage in 1876 through his death in 1902. He
does not appear in any census other than the 1890 Veteran's Census. He is mentioned
in the newspaper a few times as being a juror, or mail is waiting for him, etc. Nothing
that pins him down to a location.
Any information would be appreciated. Believe Frank to also be a brother to my second
great grandfather and am trying to locate any information about his parents. Death
certificate has not been located as yet.
Thanks for any help anyone can give me.
