Today I received the land records of James T. Laizure, my gg grandfather. He lived in Madison Co from before 1860 until about 1874. One of the deeds sells land in Jackson Township to BENJAMIN LYONS of Warren County, IA. Dated Jan. 8, 1869. I thought the name of the buyer sounded familiar, then I realized that it was the name of James' son born on 12 Sept. 1869: Benjamin Lyons Laizure. Does anyone know who Mr. Lyons was? Did he come to live in Madison County? He bought the NW Quarter of the SE Quarter of Section three Township 76 Range 29 West of the 5th principal meridian for $500. Thanks, Sharon Laizure Hofer
