--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Surname: HITSMAN, BERTRAND, ALPHY, ELPHICK, CANON, CANNON, BETHUNE,
HINCHMAN
Looking for any info on HITSMANs in NV. Currently have following from
family sources:
William M HITSMAN; Birth: 1880, Howland Flat, Sierra county, CA; Lived
in NV; Death:
Believed to have been in NV.
William M had a brother :John HITSMAN; Birth: Howland Flat, Table Rock
Township, Sierra
county, CA; Lived in Reno NV.
William M had a sister: Margeurite (Margurite, Margaret) HITSMAN; Birth:
1878; Howland Flat, Sierra county, CA; Lived in Yerrington, Lyons
county, NV. Married a BERTRAND, probably N Fred on 7 Jun 1903 in
Yerrington.
Have the following WWI Civilian Draft Registration info from
Ancestry.com which appears to
correlate to some extent with above for William:
William Marshal HITSMAN; Birth: 17 March 1880 Place: relatives live in
Portola CA (near Holland Flat); Ethnicty: White; Registration District:
Late; County: Washoe; State: Nevada
Family sources on William, John and Margeurite indicate their mother,
Sarah Jane ALPHY or
ELPHICK, married Marshall HITSMAN, most likely in CA. Based on info
obtained from Lyon
county NV web page sources, its likely she moved to Yerrington after
her husbands death in 1907 in CA, where she died in 1915 and was buried
in the Yerrington cemetery
I have substantial info which Im willing to share on tree for another
of Williams sisters, Eva
(1865-1921), who married a W D CANON (CANNON) and stayed in Nevada
county CA.
Other sibs of William were Jennie (1868-1946), married BETHUNE; Alice
(1867-1932), married HINCHMAN; David (1873-?); George; Thomas; and
Charles.
Thanks for any help.
