I'm searching for the ancestry of William Ray, born Mar 26, 1844, supposedly in Muscatine County. His parents allegedly came from either France or Germany. Wm Ray married Helen Longenecker of Sweetland Twp in 1865. William was supposedly from "New Era." Helen was previously married briefly to a Wm Klepper who died in Mississippi during the Civil War. Wm and Helen Ray's first child Anna was born in Muscatine County before the family moved out of the county shortly after 1870 census. That census shows Wm, Helen, Anna in Sweetland Twp. and also a "Catherine", age 70. We don't know who Catherine was. This Catherine was born in France and conceivably could be an ancestor????
Names of cemeteries in area called New Era??
Thank You, Donna Stene
