Joyce, saw your email from my work and believe that I can help: Ella Reyolds is the daughter of Mary Tarney/Turney and John Reynolds. Mary married 2nd Jacob S. House after 1870. I believe that Mary divorced John Reynolds -- he was living in the Soldiers and Sailors Home in Bath, Steuben County, in the 1900 census. Mary and Jacob House had at least one child, a daughter, Sarah House, born about 1873, per the 1880 census, 384, Bath, Steuben Co., NY. Mary and John Reynolds had at least two, perhaps three, other children, George, Charles, and Elizabeth Reynolds, per the 1870 census for Bath, Steuben Co., NY. Perhaps Jacob House adopted Mary's other children. Mary Tarney/Turney is the daughter of Elizabeth Hay/Hays and Bartholomew Tarney/Turney. Elizabeth Hay is the daughter of David and Mary Polly French Hay. David Hay is the son of Ephraim and Mary Sarah Terrill Hay. My descent is through David's brother Charles Hay/Hays. I think may have more information about Bartholomew in my family file at home - - probably from the History of Yates county. Some details of the above information are in my file, "Descendants of Ephraim & Mary Sarah Terrill Hays," on RootsWeb. Try a search for Jacob House in WorldConnect on RootsWeb or in Ancestry and go to the file ep_ha_sa_te. I will check my personal file for more information this evening. I hope this information is helpful. Terrill Hayes > Dear family history researchers, > > I am hoping you can help me with one of my brick walls.
