NOTES
1). bobspu.ged m1. America Brown m2. Jessie Fenstermaker Duncan BIO William J. HEINLE provided the first data on the Mary Pauline O DELL and Jack LAY family in TN. Per Mr. HEINLE s family group sheets, this son of the couple was named John David . His brother was called David LAY. In data sent to compiler in1996 by Eva McCARTY, there was no middle name or initial provided for John , however, Ms. McCARTY did add Johnny to the name apparently used as a nickname. Examining the 1860 census for Campbell Co., TN, compiler was unable to decipher the name of this male child in the LAY household. There appeared to be a D at the beginning, but this also could have been a capital J. The name appeared to end with y compiler recorded Douny? Donny? Drury? . The age of this child would calculate to about 1851 later examination of the LAY s family group indicated that John was born closest to this date. The name which was unreadable on the microfilm may have been Jonny ,but compiler has elected to record this child s name as John D. until further confirmation of his middle name is located. The household just preceding the LAYs on the 1860 census, was that of S.W. and Elizabeth BROWN. Compiler did not list the children in this household, but these may have been the parents of America BROWN, later the wife of Johnny LAY. Per Ms. McCARTY, John D. LAY, II died in Brown Springs, AZ, and is buried near Sedona, AZ. In her biographical information on this family, she writes, ...His first wife was America BROWN Aunt Mack . They had one child, Jennie, who died in Prescott, AZ in her early twenties. His second wife was Jesse FENSTERMAKER DUNCAN, Johnny and America are both buried at the Schuerman Ranch near Sedonna, AZ. Compiler was unable to find this couple on the 1880 census in Campbell or Union Counties in TN. This may indicate that they had already migrated to ARIZONA by June, 1880. REF 1. William J.
