I am seeking info on the ancestry of Hiram (possibly "J" for Joseph?) LENT b 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 can not find any record of his wife, Elizabeth TERRILL or her family! I have 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. April [email protected]
