Laurie,
Can't help much with your William, as he doesn't seem to fit into any of the
families of which I am aware, at least time-wise, for Nevada. In addition to Al Drysdale
(see separate posting earlier), my family in White Pine included his brothers Charlie,
Joseph, and Thomas (my grandfather, plus Tom's wife Effie Warner and daughter--also
named Elizabeth, and who also died at an early age--four years). In addition, the
brothers' parents, James Francis and Katurah Spencer Drysdale lived there for several
years. However, they all did not show up in Nevada until about 1905. With the exception
of Al, they all seem to have either died off or left Nevada by about 1915 or sooner.
However, I may have other Williams in my family, which sprang in this country from
Indiana.
