He is my ggrandfather -- his youngest son, Roy, is my grandfather. I have Clarence Pearsall's genealogy books, but we're moving and I can't find anything right now. My information on Lydia Atwater mainly comes from"Atwater History and Genealogy," compiled by Francis Atwater, printed by The Journal Publishing Co. 1901. Of the 2 Lydias listed in the pages I have copies of, I think Lydia M. is mine. Right now I can't remember what verification I found for that to be correct, but I remember crosschecking it. When things calm down a bit, I'll look some more. Please check back with me in a month or so in case I loose track of this.
