|
After the April business of the court was finished in Pioche, Judge Talbot presumably went |
|
west traveling on his circuit, and he officiated at the McAninch-Tucker wedding on April 25th. |
|
The exact location of the McAninch-Tucker wedding was not recorded. Most likely, the wedding |
|
took place at Victoria’s family home, on the Lewis ranch in Sunnyside; we know that Martha C. |
|
(Tucker) Lewis, Victoria’s mother, remained there until at least 1900 [16]. Alternatively, it could |
|
have taken place at William and Mary Horton’s ranch, in Sunnyside [11], or at another location |
|
in the Sunnyside / White River valley area of Nye County. |
|
Traveling on his judicial circuit, Judge Talbot arrived in Belmont later, and the McAninch-Tucker |
|
marriage was recorded there on May 25th, 1891 [20], exactly one month after the wedding. At that |
|
time, Belmont was still the county seat of Nye County (until 1905). |
|
Since Judge Talbot chose to have the marriage recorded in Nye County, it is believed that the |
|
marriage actually occurred in Nye County (the judge certainly knew the location of the wedding). |
|
Therefore, they did not get married in Bristol City, nor in Pioche (if the marriage had been held |
|
in either of those towns, the judge would have had it recorded in Pioche, Lincoln County). |

DOB |
Estimate Stewart McAninch born “1840-1860” based on two known events |
|
|
a. |
In 1883 he bought a house in Bristol, Nevada, for one thousand dollars [17], |
|
|
|
so, assume that he was already successful at some business or trade before |
|
|
|
he came to Nevada (if he was born 1840-1860, age would be 23 to 43 in 1883) |
|
|
b. |
In 1891 he married Victoria L. Tucker, age 25-26 [20], so, assume that he was |
|
|
|
probably still in his 30’s or 40’s in 1891 (if born 1840-1860, age 31 to 51 in 1891) |
