Andrew was one of Rufus Lumry's sons, and Oscar Fletcher's brother (William Rufus Lumry's father). Actually, I think Rufus may have helped build this cabin before he died. Fyi - Andrew was a Colorado state legislator for one session (have to check for sure but it was about 1880). Rufus and his children were all born in NY but later went to Illinois. Rufus went to Colorado with Andrew and his family, and died in that area (after helping to save a group of minors who were trapped)in the early 1860's. Kenneth - Anne is my Mother's first cousin. We both descend from Rufus to Oscar Fletcher to William Rufus Lumry (Anne's father, Carl was brother to my grandmother, Myra, children of William R Lumry's). Prior to Rufus is not very clear - there is not much proof out there as to who Rufus's parents were. There is a lot of misinformation out there that conflicts with some of what we know. Rufus was married to Betsey Delamater in Albany Co. NY, and there is more documentation on her family. Lots of info on the Lamoreaux/Lumry (and many other spellings) family but again, no proof of Rufus's parents. Paula
