Hi Jane,
I'm hoping you may have some information to enlighten me.I am descendaent from Henry Condray,TN-KY-IN-KS.There's a recent posting from a descendent of Eliphus Condray, positively identifiying him as the father of Henry.(Which was my strong suspicion.) We know from Henry's obit. that he was born 1808 in TN.(Eliphus was born 1788)The obit. also indicates that Eliphus and Henry left TN in 1815.
The message from Eliphus' descendent, Mrs. Garrett, indicates that Henry was born in Claiborne County, TN.It's interesting that the 1830 census shows a JOHN and WILLIAM in Claiborne County, and that you identify John's middle name as HENRY - 3 of Eliphus' children are named Henry, John and William.Coincidence?
Since Eliphus and Henry left TN prior to the first census records in 1820, there are no records for them.
I would greatly appreciate any information that you can provide to help me identify the TN Condray family from whom Eliphus descends.
