    1. Elmer James (b 1860) and Etta DURY
    2. The minutes of the 1923 Van Scoy-Knapp reunion say "A letter had been received from Mrs. E. Dury of Camden, Michigan . . . " I'm trying to identify her. Abraham and Mary (KNAPP) VAN SCOY's oldest child Sally/Sarah Van Scoy was born in 1812 and married in 1832 in Huron County, Ohio, James DURY. They had two daughters, Mary E. and Lidda Jane, and three sons, John David, James Leonder, and Ceylon Sherman. John David Dury was born 1834 in Huron County, Ohio, and died 1902 in East Gilead, Michigan. In the 1880 census of North West Township, Williams County, Ohio, he is with his wife and children including son "Elon" age 19. According to family reunion records his son Elmer James Dury was born in 1860 and married "Etta Wallas." I have not found an Elon/Eldon/Elmer Dury in the census (anywhere in US) after 1880. The only Etta/Ettie Dury I've found in the census is age 19 in Delaware in 1880. There is an Ettie Dury Elver listed at http://www.rootsweb.com/~mihillsd/data/vitals/amboyburialindex.html but I have not found an Elver in Michigan in the census for any year (using indexes at Ancestry). Are there any Dury researchers on this list? I'm looking for suggestions of who Mrs. E Dury of Camden, Michigan, in 1923 might be. Frances Van Scoy francesvanscoy@aol.com
