Biography
Lydia was born in 1824. She married first Thomas Henry Lay in 1840. Thomas passed away in 1852. Lydia married second the Rev. Stephen Wilkins. She passed away in 1893. Lydia and her husband, Stephen, were buried in Evergreens Cemetery, New York City (Brooklyn), N.Y. [1]
The final status and resolution of Lydia's marriage to Thomas Henry Lay is uncertain. The Goodhue Genealogy states he died in 1852. However, in 1854, Lydia filed a complaint in courts of the City of New York against Thomas Henry Lay for him to be summonded and to answer the complaint.
The independent City of Brooklyn, Kings, N.Y. became a borough of the consolidated New York City, N.Y. on 1 Jan 1898.
