Hello! I've hit a major brick wall. I have yet to connect Mary Spray LeMar to her parents.
In the 1860 Census, Mary is enumerated with her husband, George LeMar, and son, Calvin. Listed with them is Anna Spray, whom I assume is Mary's sister.
Mary LeMar owned a parcel in Section 11, Madison Township for many years. I recently discovered that other Sprays exchanged land in the same vicinity during the same era:
John and Margaret Spray, of Warren County, sold parcel in Section 23, Jefferson Township, to Christopher Spray, 31 January 1862. Also sold parcel in Section 11, Jefferson Township, to Henry Spray, same day.
I've learned that Henry Spray was a grocer for many years in Indianola, and John and Margaret Spray were his parents. He was born in Ohio, as was Mary. I've been unable to connect them, either.
If anyone has any information regarding the various Spray families in Madison and Warren counties, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for your time!
