Sharon Curry McBride Fri Oct 4 1996 These are the names I am researching for Clinton Co. dirrect lines listed first; CURRY, HESSELTINE, TRAVISS (SP?), BLOOD, KING, VREELAND allied lines: BIGOR, DODGE, FISH, GRANT, HOYT, LAPOINT, LASELL, LAVALLEY, MASKELL, ATKINS, BOMBARD, CHILTON, CUBIT, GILL, SCOFIELD, WHALEN, ARTHUR, BRAND, DAVIS, UNDERWOOD Bruce C. Lyon Wed Oct 2 1996 I am interested in Nathaniel LYON, after whom Lyon Mountain is named. According to "The History of Clinton and Franklin Counties, New York," Nathaniel LYON moved to Saranac in the winter of 1803-4. I've visited the cemetery in Lyon Mountain, but could fine no LYON markers there. Where is Nathaniel LYON buried? Is the LYON Homestead memorialized in any way? The above source states that Nathaniel is related to General Nathaniel LYON of Eastford, CT, the first general officer killed in the Civil War (10 Aug 1861 at Wilson's Creek, MO). How are the two Nathaniels related? His son, Lewis LYON, was b. 18 Sep 1814 in Royalton, VT, to where Nathaniel had returned during the War of 1812, apprehensive about Indian attacks in the Clinton County region. Any genealogical information (ancestor or descendent) in addition to that cited in the above source would be appreciated. Suni Roveto Mon Sep 30 1996 Looking for any information regarding Wilbert LaMay and his ancestors and descendants. Wilbert lived in or around Black Brook with wife Philoman Thibeault and children: Wilbert, Georgianna, Ozanna (born 10/30/1986; married Barnard Cross from VT on November 11,1910; died May 15, 1973), Nellie, Edith, Jeanette. Wilbert was born to an English family and adopted by the LaMays. Jim Elbrecht Mon Sep 30 1996 I'm trying to find the parents of Alfred E. LYON, b. Mar 30, 1862, m. Maria NELSON, b. Aug. 27, 1862. They had 5 children before Alfred died at 36, on Sept. 29, 1898. Both are buried in Riverside Cemetery, in Plattsburgh. Their children were;Guy Nelson, Alfred E., Carlile E., George, Estella, and Kathleen. I have been looking at LYON (and NELSON) families in Clinton CTY. for a few months, so I've sorted out a few if you're just starting. About all I know about Alfred is that he attended the school that is at the end of LYON Rd. in Peru. I have looked throught the 1870, and 1880 Census (in Clinton CTY) without finding him. I've also checked the papers on microfilm at the Plattsburgh library, without finding an obituary. thanks Terry Bontrager Tue Sep 17 1996 Gumlaw Family Dennis Gumlaw Franklin NY 1903?
