  • Notes 
    • His death certificate lists his father as Abraham Sterling - his grandfather. His wife is 'Mrs C J Sterling'.

      Charles and Lydia were step-siblings. The are not direct ancestors but I wanted to included Hiram in my online tree. He was quite a fellow from what I've read of him.
