Collection Overview
Title:
Richard Lyons naval documents, 1860-1866Lyons
Abstract:
24 official documents relating to Richard Lyons' service in the United States Navy, plus a marriage certificate. The naval
documents are dated during the period of Lyons service from 1860 to 1866, but many are stamped with 1899-1901dates on the
back, making it unclear whether these are original documents sent to him at the time, or were actually originated at those
later dates.
