In most cases, when the families weren't directly related to me, I only went up to around 1900. This would be the John W. McClaskey son of James F. and Ducinda (Kennedy) McClaskey. Ross Fairley was the son of Milton H. and Letitia E. (Todd) Fairley. I can't peg Bessie Evalline Gray, though there were several Gray families in the county. Maybe she was a daughter of Lewis and Ruth Gray. I say that because they DID have a daughter Viola, and maybe John and Bessie named their daughter for Bessie's sister. They didn't have a daughter Bessie in 1880, but maybe Bessie was born after the census. Just a guess.
