Posted on: El Dorado Co. Ca Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ca/ElDorado/47 Surname: BROUGHER, CANNON, MANVILLE ------------------------- Hi, Am remotely related. My maternal grandmother's father had a sister, Julia Amelia CANNON. She was born on 28 Apr 1862 in Iowa City IA. Her family previously had been in IL. Julia Amelia died in Oakland CA on 31 Jul 1946. She's buried in Carson City NV (Lone Mountain Cemetery-Family Plot). On 14 Feb 1885 when Julia Amelia was 22, she married Wilson (Wils) (Wilse) BROUGHER, parents unknown, in Belmont, Nye county, NV. Info I have is Wilson was born on 7 Jul 1854 in Adams County, PA. He died in Oakland CA on 15 May 1922. He was a major force in the development of the mining industry around Tonapah NV. He later moved to Carson City NV and then to Oakland. If you're interested in more, I can provide CANNON materials but not much on Wils prior to his arrival in NV. There's some discussion of him on the Nye county, NV rootsweb page. Julia Amelia and Wilson had the following children: Ida Estelle (1886-1966) Irene A (1889-1912) Nellie (Nell) B (1896-1963) William Henry (1898-1953) I also have some contacts located in CA if you've got a connection. Apparently Wils' legacy lives on during yearly celebrations in Tonapah. As far as El Dorado county goes, have been trying to trace an Isaac MANVILLE to that area but have been unable to come up with any hard facts. Timeframe is gold rush as best I can determine. Vern D
