Hello List,
I am seeking information about descendants of Wm. Crane (Crane)
GALLAGHER, b. 11 Jun 1850, in New Brunswick, Canada. According to my
information, Crane GALLAGHER owned a silver mine somewhere in the
general vicinity of Ely. He was Mayor of Ely at some time - and
possibly a Nevada State Senator at some time.
His son, Charles I believe it was, was a Nevada State Senator. There
were seven other children.
I also would like information about possible descendants of his sister,
Ida GALLAGHER, who married Jeremiah KENT in 1888, probably in White Pine
County. Ida KENT had one child, Ella Louise, in Feb 1891, and Ida died
ten days later.
What other suggestions does anyone have about learning more about them?
Might there be local newspapers that were in existence at that time? I
know, Ha! Might file copies be available somewhere?? Are there any
Nevada records databases on line - BMD, land records...?
Any information or suggestions anyone might have will be very, very much
appreciated.
TIA
Thelma
