Subject: Most Wanted: Hiram (?J.) LENT
I am seeking info on the ancestry of Hiram (possibly "J" for Joseph?) LENT born
May 1826/unknown county NY. He was married and divorced in Aurora, Nevada by
1874 when he m Elizabeth TERRILL in Inyo Co CA (across the state line from
Aurora, NV). Hiram d in 1916 at age 90/Inyo Co but I cannot find any record of
his wife Elizabeth TERRILL or her family! I had difficulties finding him in
census records, perhaps because he was possibly involved in mining endeavors and
was on the move. I found a possible brother of his in 1870 Esmeralda Co NV as
follows: LENT, Frank 38/NY, Prudence 22/England and Annie 3/NV. Annie later m
Robert McCROSKEY in Inyo Co CA 1888. My Hiram may also be related to William
LENT b 1818/NY who was a big time silver/gold miner and had various mine strikes
in NV and CA including the Bodie Gold Mining Co in Mono Co CA and the Mammoth
Mining Co in Mono. I last find this William LENT in San Francisco, CA 1900 with
wife Frances E. b 1830/NY and daughter Fanny b 1860/CA. Please let me know if
you have info on these LENT families so I may properly place my Hiram LENT.
Thank you, April (
