TWOMBLEY , TWOMBLY  posted by Cynthia Dambach  on Friday, July 20, 2001
I am looking for information on the Twombley/Twombly family that settled in the Custer County. In particular, I am looking for Samuel Twombley (my great-grandfather). I do know that his first wife was Harriet Laverne Wood(s) and that she died approximately 1890-1896. Any help would be appreciated.
