Coulter, Lemhart, Lenhart, McColley |
I am researching the family of Hiram Henry McColley of
Humboldt County, Nevada. He was a native of Franklin County, Ohio
born 13 May 1833. He went to California about 1854 and then to Nevada
about 1863. He lived in Star City, Dun Glen, McDermitt, and Willow
Creek. He died in Winnemucca Nov 20, 1918. His wife was Lucy S. Lenhart or Lemhart. They were married in 1869 in Winnemucca. They had no
children but she had a son William Coulter by a previous marriage
to William Coulter who died in the Civil War. |

Laveaga, Mendosa, Roberts |
I am researching the families of Pablo (Paul) and
Isabelle Mendosa Laveaga and
Melinda (Mellie) Mendosa and Phillip Roberts.
It appears that Pablo was married three times, but only he and Isabella
lived in Nevada; first at Unionville around 1869 and then later Winnemucca. |

Byrnes, Skahen |
Seeking more information on James Byrnes and his wife Mary Skahen as well as their offspring:
- Catherine
- Catherine
- Charles
- James
- Alice
James, along with others from Rome, New York, appeared to have come to your beautiful county after their involvement in the Civil War. James came with brothers John and Thomas, both of whom later returned to Rome.
John married and had several daughters but his wife and daughters apparently died by 1890 as he returned to marry a second time in Rome in 1890.
James is buried in Nevada but as yet I am unable to find where the rest of the family has gone. My mother was a Byrnes and I am descended through Thomas. I did find that a window in the Roman Catholic Church in Winnemucca was given by the Byrnes family and I found a line drawing of the homestead in Paradise Valley but curiosity continues as to the whereabouts of descendents.
