TOMBSTONE TUESDAY - My 3rd great grandparents - Monson & Lany Thorp

Lany, wife of Monson Thorp died July 16 1886 aged 71 years 5 mos

Monson Thorp died May 17 1888 aged 87 years 3 mos

Monson Thorp and his wife Lany Cooper are my 3rd great grandparents.  He was born in Connecticut 27 Feb 1801 to Joseph Thorp and an unknown mother (still looking for her name).  Lany Cooper was born 16 Feb 1815 in Cato, Cayuga, New York to Jacob Cooper & Polly Bryne.  They married on 12 Apr 1835 in Cato, Cayuga, New York.  They had 6 children, Horace, Lucyette, Stephen, Mary, Edith and Monson Jr.

I recently discovered that Monson had been married prior to Lany to Ann Eliza Armitage.  To them were born two children, Ann Maria & Reverend Wallace Walter.
 
Monson & Lany are buried at Lakeview Cemetery,  Skaneateles, Onondaga, New York, along with other family members.  I do not yet know where Ann, his first wife, is buried. Here is a link to the Village of Skaneateles website where they have a list of Lakeview Cemetery burials http://www.villageofskaneateles.com/village-government/boards/cemetery-board.html

Here are links to their FindAGrave memorials:

While I know quite a bit about this family, I hope to learn more  during my upcoming trip to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City.
