Yes... there is no doubt in my mind that Elsenia in 1880 is Dulcina. According to family information, she was called "Cena" or "Sina". Indeed, Eva, Thomas L., and Clayton were all children of James GIST and Mary Bell FERGUSON. Eva was my great grandmother. She married Robert Montrea BERTRAM. In 1910 and 1920, "Cassie" is listed as Catherine. That is how I came by her name. She was always called "Cassie" by family. I have a copy of each of James GIST's marriage records. He married Mary FERGUSON 6 Sept. 1885. Eva was their first child. She was born 19 Oct. 1886. Thomas was born in July 1888. Clayton was born Oct. 1890. James married Cassie Malone 21 May 1899. James and Cassie had a daughter, Odie, born 1907. Many of the above people are buried in the Wray cemetery in Clinton Co. I have been there numerous times. According to a tombstone that was placed there just a few years ago, "Sena" WRAY died 1884. I cannot say for certain if that is accurat! e, but supsect it is since James married Mary Ferguson in Sept. 1885. A descendant placed some stones there for the family a few years ago, who did not have stones, and replaced a couple of others, including James GIST's stone, Cassie's stone, and Odie's stone. This descendant also placed a stone there for Eliza GIST (maiden name KEMMER) who was the mother of James GIST. However, Eliza did not have a stone there, and this stone was just placed there a few years ago. I am not confident that Eliza was actually buried there. Part of the reason for my questioning this info was that the death date given on her tombstone is 1880. However, the person that had the stone put in a few years ago, was definatly wrong. Eliza was alive and living with her daughter Annie Gist and her son-in-law James FERGUSON in Cumberland Co., TN in 1900. I also have a deed for Eliza in 1901. Eliza was from Cumberland Co. (was Bledsoe Co. before Cumberland Co. was created) and may be buried ther! e, especially if her husband, Thomas GIST was buried there. He died d uring the civl war, but I have never found a death date for him, nor do I know where he is buried. I really question whether Eliza (Kemmer) Gist is buried in Wray cemetery. If I can answer any further questions, feel free to let me know. Rex Bertram
