Hello everyone, I'm new to this mailing list. Was wondering if anyone has any further information on Alfred C. Lyon(s) I'm not sure of the middle name he may also have gone by Charles A. or Cornelius A. Lyons. he was born approx. 1845-1847 as far as I know Ohio possibly Geauga or Cuyahoga. He was in the 12th Ohio Independent Battery Light Artillary. enlisted in 1863 in New London and mustered out of Camp Chase Columbus 1865. Pension records are not to be found at NARA, but we are still searching. May have had some ties with some familys in Huron or Lorain Co., Ohio. May have possibly gone to Allegan Co. Trowbridge Twp. Michigan. The 1870 Trowbridge Twp. Allegan Co.census shows possibly him living with the Alcotts/Olcotts & Ozmun's. I am in contact with the Olcott/Ozmun in Allegan Mich. Left Michigan to Kansas? married Hattie/Harriet Lish/Leish(sp) had a daughter Emmeline 1873, came back to Michigan possibly Allegan had another daughter Ellen 1875 and a son Charles Alfred 1875. and moved back to Cuyhoga Co. Ohio Was wondering if anyone has more info. Thank you so much, Kathy Lyons

Kathy, Was just in a book of 1848 and thought I'd look in there for you on the Lyon(s) inquiry. Found some there: Lyon, _ in Leoni Township, N/A Pg. 35, Sec. 22 ; Lyon, E. in Columbia Township, T3-4S-R1E, Pg. 18, Sec. 27 ; Lyon, J. in Pulaski Township, T4S-R3W, Pg. 46, Sec. 36 ; Book of the 1848 Jackson County Plat and Atlas. Pages are only for the book listed above, others may vary. Hope this helps you. Nelson Names I'm searching: Albro, Bessemer, Crandall, Crispell, Crego, Delamater, Eliason, Giddings, Gillette, Luft, McKellar, Nelson, Porter, Shaffer, Steffen Stevens, Strawser, Roosa, Rosa among many others
