I'm trying to find the family and ancestors of James Laughlin who was born about 1847 in Ireland. He married my gg aunt, Mary Ann Hadley, 1870 in Ogden, Utah.
James worked for the Wells Fargo Company and moved to Eagle Rock, Idaho to manage a way station for stage coaches. They had one son Daniel Laughlin born in 1871 but he only lived a year. Then in early 1872 the family moved to Pioche, Lincoln, Nevada to work for a mining company and ran a freight wagon business that had supplies for miners and their families. James & Mary Ann had a son and daughter born to them. Tragically, in 1875/1876 James was killed in a runaway freight wagon and was buried in Pioche.
Mary Ann's family went to get her and took her back to Ogden, Utah.
Any help with this Laughlin family would be greatly appreciated.
Gratefully,
