NOTES
1). Elijah ans Elisha were messenger boys for theUnion Army Civil War bobspu.ged BIO Elijah is the direct line ancestor of William J. Heinle who has provided much of the data for the Jack LAY and Mary Pauline O DELL LAY families. Elijah was a twin to Elisha LAY. A photo sent by Mr. HEINLE, shows both twins in Civil War uniforms. Elijah and his twin, Elisha, as young boys, are said to have served as messenger boys for the Union Army during the Civil War. Steve STAMM, another descendent of the LAY family located via the computer genealogy network, has as part of his LAY home page, a list of LAYS WHO WENT TO WAR. Per that list, Elisha LAY was a private in the 154th TN Inf., Co. B. Senior Reg. s Elijah is not included in this list. Elijah and his wife, Mary PETREE, had ten children, but only six lived to adulthood. Per Eva McCARTY, Mary explained that Tennessee was a hard place to raise children because there was so much fever... Mrs. McCARTY goes on to tell of Elijah s migrations from Campbell County TN to Marion County, and later to ARIZONA. Sometime in the late 1870 s or early 1880 s, Elijah built two barges and loaded his family and all their possessions... They made their way down the Powell River into the Clinch River to the Tennessee River and then on to Rankin s Cove where his brother, William Quillen, had a farm. Elijah was was to work for William...in the 1880s, Elijah s son, Dave left Rankin s Cove and went to AZ where Elijah s brother, Johnnyand his wife,... Aunt Mack ... and daughter, Jennie...settled on the lower Verde River...Elijah was never satisfied in TN after Dave left home. As soon as he could, he gathered his 1rops and sold his home ... the next year, he and his wife and five children embarked on what was called an immigrant train from Jasper, TN... They arrived in Prescott, AZ on March 22, 1892. They still had two more days of hard travel before reaching the Verde Valley where Dave had located. When they arrived, the military at Camp Verde was having trouble with the Indians. They found land to rent, but the Army would not allow them to live in their tents as they had planned, so they lived in part of the adobe building that is now the Fort Verde Museum. Elijah homesteaded in Oak Creek Canyon near present day Sedona. The family finally settled in Cornville on lower Oak Creek. He farmed and ranched with his son, Joe, until his death. Mrs. McCARTY has provided a photocopy of the obituary for Elijah LAY the article is accompanied by copies of photographs of Elijah and Mary Ann. A copy of this page is included in this genealogy.

U.S. Census 1880 TN Campbell Co. 8th C.D. ED 123 p 23 190 190. MF T9 1246. BIO Eva McCARTY writes, Elijah was the sixth or seventh child, as he was a twin... He married Mary Ann Petree, the dau. of Isaac and Martha Emaline FORD PETREE. Jan., 1997Compiler had taken the liberty of entering the names of Isaac and Martha PETREE as the parents of Mary Ann using data found on the 1860 census, with an eye to comon given names, etc. After Mrs. McCARTY s letter, compiler returned to examination of census films. 1870 shows a John and Catherine PETREE residing next door to the young couple in Campbell Co. Isaac and Martha PETREE appeared two pages and 16 households later in the 70 enumeration. Both John and Isaac are enumerated as 44 years old, both born in TN. Compiler is now doubtful that she has located the parents of Mary Ann PETREE accurately...thus emphasizing the dangers ofassuming in the work of genealogical research!!! As of 20 Jan. 1997, compiler has not located a John and Martha PETREE on either the 1860, 1870 or 1880 census for Campbell County, TN. Mary PETREE LAY was enumerated as 28 years of age on the 1880 census. Elijah and Mary Ann had only four children on that enumeration William, David, JamesA. , and Sarah J. In recording the data on the children of Elijah and Mary Ann PETREE LAY, compiler s attention was snared upon listing the sixth child of this marriageLou Catherine. Returning to the census data collected over the years, compiler looked again at John PETREE s household to find that the wife of John PETREE, who in 1870 was enumerated as Catherine , appeared in 1880 as Loucathrin. The LAYs had named their first daughter Sarah, this second one Lou Catherine and not until the fourth daughter, did they use the name Martha. On the other hand, they named their second son John David and apparently never used the name Isaac for one of their sons. These clues seemingly do nothing to help in answering the question of the given names of Mary Ann PETREE s parents.
