I am trying to find out who Mary Coy's parents were. She married Thomas J. Crail (b. 1811 KY) probably sometime between 1828 and 1838. Thomas migrated from Kentucky with his father James B. Crail to Shelby Co. Indiana, where Thomas patented land, and then Bartholomew Co. Indiana. His father James also lived in Shelby Co. and Bartholomew Co. Indiana, but also in Brown Co. Indiana for a period of time before living in Bartholomew Co. Indiana again. Thomas and Mary's daughters were Sarah Ann Crail (b. abt. 1838) and Hannah J. Crail (b. 1840; d. 1919). Sarah died before death records were kept, but Hannah's 1919 death certificate lists Mary Coy as her mother. I do not know what happened to Mary, but Thomas J. Crail remarried in 1845 in Rush Co. Indiana to wife 2 Catherine Lock, and they have Sarah and Hannah in their household in the 1850 Bartholomew Co. Indiana federal census. Does anyone have any information on William Coy's daughter Mary, listed as number 10 in the post on the website below: http://boards.ancestry.com/thread.aspx?mv=flat <http://boards.ancestry.com/thread.aspx?mv=flat&m=1797&p=localities.northam. usa.states.indiana.counties.switzerland> &m=1797&p=localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.switzerland Descendants of William may also have had a daughter named Mary who was born in enough time to have married and had a daughter by 1838. From what I've read online, William also had a brother named Christopher. There are a James B. Crail and Thomas J. (Jefferson) Crail in Hamilton Co. Ohio, where according to a book online, James B. Crail helped start a church during a time period that my James B. Crail was in Shelby Co. Indiana. (Both Thomas J. Crail and James B. Crail are listed in the 1840 Shelby Co. Indiana federal census.) So far the only marriage for Thomas J. Crail that I can find that fits the time frame is to a Mary Magdalena in 1836 in Hamilton Co. Ohio, but as mentioned before, my Thomas J. Crail married Mary Coy. There is nothing on her marriage certificate to indicate that she was married before. It looks like this marriage may have fallen apart as later I find this Mary in the household of the person who married her to Thomas. Lee Anne
