Dear Kim Regarding your note to the Linn County Rootsweb. I can't help you with the Thorton's, sorry. But I'm wondering if you can help me with the Spray family. My Lucinda Spray was born about 1821 also in Iowa, same as your Martha Jane Spray. We also know her daughter Hannah Barnes was born in Iowa in 1849. Lucinda's Spray family could have still been in Iowa at the time of your Martha's birth. Also, Adam and Lucinda were in the Linn County, Oregon 1860 Census. Lots of similarities or just coincidence? Adam and Lucinda were my ggrandparents. Can you assist me? Or tell me who might. Thanks in advance...
