Nancy, Here's a possible match for you. Would like very much if you'd contact me via email (rather than the list as I might miss it) if this leads you to new info. John William Clay, son of Henry J. Clay & Rhoda Solesbury Clay was born c1831. I have no further info, which would suggest that he lived outside the counties that I have been researching, which would be Mercer & surrounding counties. I do have secondary information that Henry & Rhoda died in Wyoming Co. WV, am not sure exactly how close that would be to Wayne Co. Let me know what you think, Jeannie >X-Message: #1 >Date: Thu, 09 Dec 1999 21:00:27 -0500 >From: Nancy Clay <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Message-ID: <[email protected]> >Subject: Clay families >Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii >Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > >Is there anyone searching John W.
