List, I have a Mary Adelaid Jay born Jan. 4, 1871, the dau. of Eli & Mahalah (Pearson) Jay. I have no dates for Eli & Mahalah Jay. Mary married at Eli's house in Richmond, Ind., on July 31, 1895, to Edgar H. Ballard (1871-1901). I found a couple of books written by "Eli Jay" around 1900. They are titled, "About Charity Cook, 1745-1822," no pub. date. and "The Furnas Family" "...prepared by Eli Jay... for a reunion of the Furnas family held... Miami county, Ohio, June 12, 1901" Does anyone know if the author Eli Jay is the same Eli who married Mahalah Pearson? Thanks, rlc Happy New Year
