Hi Sheryl. Thanks for writing.

Yes, I recall spending a lot of time on the Indiana Culvers several years ago. I don't have much on Aaron and Samuel either, but I will provide you my notes below. You can see everything else online at Ancestry.com.

The only "pearl" I have for you is to not totally accept data you find on the Internet without some proof or records.

I have a couple of dead ends on your line. You might be able to help me with Hiram Lyons' parents, or dates for Permelia Ellen Lyons (birth, death, marriage).

If you have any other questions, let me know.
Good luck in your search,
Jim Culver
