NOTES
1). Union Army, Company F, 6th Tennessee Vol. Infantry bobspu.ged BIO The following is an excerpt from one of Eva McCARTYs letters to compiler David was one of the sons who fought on the Union side during the Civil War. He enlisted at Boston, KY on the 10th of March 1862, as a private in Company F, 6th Tennessee Vol. Infantry. He was described as 5 ft. 8 inches complexion fair dark eyes black hair, and occupation, farmer. He was detailed to the Pioneer Brigade, 3rd Battalion, Army of the Cumberland. National Archives records show he fought in the Battle of Chattanooga, Atasona, Murfreesboro and was with Sherman on his march to the sea. During his enlistment, he came down with malaria and was honorably discharged at Nashville, TN on the 24th day of March 1865. On the LAY property was a cave which became known as the Dave LAY Cave because he hid his troops in it during the war. Also, the family hid their valuables in it. My mother said she had been back into it for about a mile and it was very cold. On a 1900 census report, David had 900 acres of land in Campbell County, TN. The year is unknown, but David and Elizabeth moved to Oklahoma and then to Baca County, Colorado. It is said that Elizabeth was blind at the time of David s death. He had asked to be laid out under a big tree in the front yard and when they brought Elizabeth out for the funeral, she looked down at the casket and said, doesnt he look pretty? May, 1997 Compiler established contact with Steve STAMM, a descendent of David L. and Annis Elizabeth Lizzie LAY. Mr. STAMM contributed more information on this couple in an e mail message on 25 MAY David LAY was buried in the Lay s Chapel cemetery. Later all the graves in the cemetery were moved to the Springfield Cemetery by Nancy Taylor LAY PARKER the daughter of David and Annis LAY. In the Lay s Chapel Cemetery there was a white marker that stood by the grave marking it as the grave of a Civil War veteran. We think that this marker was pushed into the open grave after the exhumation of David LAY s remains because it is not currently standing in the Springfield cemetery... Concerning the occupation of David LAY, Mr. STAMM writes, ...He was also a veterinarian and mill operator. I have a copy of one of his veterinarian s log books. This book seemed to have been used mainly to keep notes about trips and other day to day events. Just before he moved to COLORADO, he was operating a mill. It was just below Dave Lay Cave.My grandfather, Merl O. PARKER said that the water that ran out of that cave was very cold. He said that they used to keep much of their perishable food there. I think that I have identifed the mill as the Blind Graves mill that was still standing when TVA flooded the whole place in the 1930s... To compiler s comment above that the year is unknown, but David and Elizabeth moved to OKLAHOMA and then to Baca County, COLORADO, Mr. STAMM responds with, The year is now known! I ll transcribe a note written by Annis Elizabeth LAY in 1915 which details their move to COLORADO from TENNESSEE. See Annis Elizabeth TAYLOR biography, computer 1100. REF 1.

2). bobspu.ged BIO The wife of David L. LAY, son of Jack and Polly O DELL LAY was first identified by Bill HEINLE, a desc. of David s younger brother, Elijah LAY. Later Eva McCARTY, a desc. of Elisha LAY, Elijah s twin brother, wrote the following about Annis Elizabeth ...David married Annis Elizabeth TAYLOR on Sept. 9, 1866 Campbell Co. TN. I don t know the year David and Elizabeth moved to Oklahoma and on to Baca County, Colorado. David passed away July 17,1927 in Baca County Colorado. Told to me by Billie Lou Phillips Dayton, Ohio grand daughter of David and Elizabeth. Elizabeth was blind at the time of David s death. Billie Lou said, that David wanted to be laid out under a big tree in the front yard, and that when they brought Elizabeth out for the funeral, she looked down in the casket and said, doesn t he look pretty. Per the 1870 census Ann was 22 years old she was born in TN. On the next census for Campbell Co., Anis E. was enumerated as 34. On the latter, she reported her father born in SC and her mother in NC. May 1997 Compiler established contact with Steve STAMM, a descendent of David L. and Elizabeth TAYLOR LAY. In an E mail message on 25 May, Steve wrote the following in response to a statement by compiler that the date was not known for the move of this couple to OK and CO, ...The year is now known!...a note written by Annis Elizabeth LAY in 1915 which details their move to Colorado from Tennessee. The Lay Trip West David Lay and Lizzie Lay started from Tennessee on January 27, 1913 got to Liberal Kansas Feb. 1.
