A new distant cousin

In my last blog entry I detailed the unexpected discovery of a first spouse for Susan Eliza Gee.  She married a man by the name of Windsor Palmer Lyon and had one child by him before he died.  In the Mormon Pioneer Overland database the child is listed as Charles William Luddington, but his surname was really Lyon.  He married Sarah Eldora Willey and they had three children.  For a descendancy document please see the link to my Adventure in Family Tree in the previous blog.

The descendant that I contacted about this, Jamie Johnson, noted in her e-mail to me that she was traveling from Houston to Salt Lake in October.  Yesterday she and her husband contacted me and came for a brief visit.

 

 She graciously allowed me to take a photo.  So now I know what another distant cousin looks like.  They served in the Houston temple at the same time when our neighbor William R. Bradford was the temple president.  They later served in the temple presidency. They were on their way to Idaho for a missionary reunion.  He was the mission president there some time ago.
