Henry Lyerly Jr, died in 1854. Most of the names you provided are the same as those above except Sarah is missing (perhaps died), and Joseph (could be Jasper). Is the Census wrong? It is what I relied on for info. Sequoia Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
