    • Lydia's father, William Bates, was a merchant who came to the Valley with his family in 1862. For some reason, likely business, they all returned to England and he, his wife, and eight children are seen crossing the ocean and plains to the Valley again in 1866.

      Her surname is "Willes" on the death certificate and Find A Grave website.
