Mark, I am a descendent of Wm. Bales and Elizabeth Adamson and was doing some research on the Bales recently. I copied 24 different Bales marriages from Ray Co. marriage books, but do not have one for Lucy. I have 7 Lucy Bales in my data base. Who are her parents? There are a large number of Bales in Carroll Co as well. Have you checked there? I did not find Carroll Co. marriage books at the Mid-Continent Lib. in Independence MO where I was researching. I have had great luck writing directly to the County and getting copies from them for $1.00 each. Since you know both parties names it will be easier to search. There used to be a woman on this list who had all the Ray Co. marriage books. She was a great help to me. Are you familiar with the Bales web site? It has some great information.

Hi Donna, Ok, this is a little weak, as I have no proof, but my database shows her parents as Walter and Nannie (SULLINGER) BALES. No dates on them, but I have Lucy as Mar 1868, based on the 1900 Census. Does she look familiar? Thanks, Mark “Do your duty in all things. You cannot do more.
