John Henry Lumsden

JOHN HENRY LUMSDEN, is the son of John Lumsden and Mary King. He was born April, 1858 in Hillsdale County, Michigan. John Henry was the first American born citizen of my Lumsden clan. As such, very little is known of him. Census records from 1860 and 1870 show him as a child living with his mother and father and two older sisters in Hillsdale County, Michigan. By 1880 the Lumsden family had moved to Prince George County Virginia.
In 1891 John married Sarah Della Tignor Means in Indian Territory, Oklahoma. To this union were born five children, Mary Lattie, Jennie Bell, Lee Latimore. Moday Mae, and Edward Daniel Lumsden. Sometime after Edward Daniels birth in 1901 john and Sarah Della's marriage ended. Relatives have two possible scenarios. First that he left the family due to the rift in the marriage and two, that he became a U. S. Marshal in McAlester, Oklahoma and was killed and left for dead. The family doesn't have so much as a single photo of him. There is no information about where he died and is now buried.
