My Family Tree

Minnie, who later called herself Jean, was the daughter of George Watson Dyment and Nora Bailey.

Minnie was living with her parents, age 10, in the 1910 census. She was the oldest daughter. Minnie Dyment, b. 1900 in Massachusetts (mother b. Kansas) was living in Washington State in 1920, boarding with the Hoburts.

Minnie Florence Dyment married J. Roy in 1917; they married again in 1921, in Washington State. Both parties were divorced on the second marriage. She could be the Jean Dyment, age 22 from Tacoma who married Ira B. Hildebrand, in November 1921.

Minnie Florence married J. Clarence Stewart in 1926, and witnesses at the marriage of Nora Dyment to Lloyd Tyo in 1926 were Jean and J. C. Stewart. In 1930, Jean Dyment married Roy O. Barry in Washington. And in 1944, Jean Barry, daughter of George Dyment and Nora Bailey, married Charles A. Einarson. Jean, therefore, has to be the same daughter as Minnie Florence.
