My family originated out of Harrison and Snow Hill. My Great Grandfather John Samuel RAYL married Mary Kizzie SCOGGINS. His father George W RAYL, and his father Franklin F P RAYL. I only have details on John and nothing after him. My grandparents Edgar D DAVIS married Ella Mae RAYL. Edgar's mother in 1900 is listed divorced. I have no further information to link me to husband except 2nd husband Jerry Myer SIMS. Jerry M SIMS married 2 Sarah DAVIS' making it very hard to figure out who is who! First Sarah DAVIS DENNINGTON (m2) was older than Jerry SIMS but for some reason they had Adie T DAVIS visiting and called her neice--who is the daughter of the 2nd wife Sarah Isabell DAVIS!! The 2nd wife (not wife in 1900) is listed with 5 of the 6 children she had in 1900 separately.
Can anyone help with this?
