Murray |
I am looking for information on my great-great grandmother, Virginia Irene Murray or Irene Virginia Murray. My grandmother said she was born in Wells, NV. She had a least 1 son, Kenneth Murray. That is about all I know. |

deHaven |
I am looking for information on William deHaven who apparently died in Winnemucca on 27 Jan 1873 and was buried there. There is no record of him in the graveyard at Winnemucca. William lived in Red Bluff, CA and was, at the time, running a flock of sheep near Winnemucca. William deHaven and his family came to California in 1839, leaving from Pineville, Missouri, in an ox drawn prairie schooner along with a train of about 100 others. William was elected captain of this train. What I am really interested in is William's death record and the location of his burial. |

Hetherston |
Looking for any info on Matthew Hetherston who mined in the Spring City area of Nevada between 1870 and 1902. But died in Paradise. I have the 1880 and 1900 Census but I am looking for more info. Such as death record and cemetery where he may be buried. |

Allison, Washburn |
Liba WASHBURN b. 1807
VT arrived in Humboldt Co. Nevada prior to August 1866, he
ran a Stage Station somewhere out of Winnemucca, NV. A letter
dated 15th August 1866 from Fairbanks Ranch, Nevada, Nov &
Dec, 1868 Receipts issued Winnemucca, NV for Liba WASHBURN,
shows Liba paying for shoeing of horses, wheat & various items:
$310.
Liba's son, Albert WASHBURN b. 1843 MI, mustered out California Calvary 1866
and moved on to Nevada, both father & son were involved in some mining deals,
around Humboldt Co.
Albert owned a Blacksmith shop in Paradise Valley, NV. 1870's. Liba's
daughter, Ellen Allison, Son n Law, James N. Allison &
their children, left Marysville, California and joined Liba & Albert Washburn.
The ALLISON'S settled in Paradise Valley, where Pearl Elizabeth ALLISON was born
abt 1879. I have original records from Humboldt Co. naming several individuals,
I would be willing to share information to acquire some of the close to 40 newspaper
mentions of my WASHBURN & ALLISON grandparents there in Humboldt Co.
The James Allisons & gggrandfather Liba Washburn left Paradise Valley in 1882,
with a band of horses for Fort Spokane, Washington Territory. I have in my possession
original personal papers from Humboldt Co. mentioning other names living in that
location from 1866 to 1882. |
