Hi. I am descended from some Cordrays who lived in the area of Harrington-Farmington-Milford, Delaware. My great grandfather was Ebe Waples Cordray, who married Ella Irons. Their daughter Elizabeth Watson Cordray Vincent (who lived on a farm outside of Harrington, by the way, until her death in 1976) was my grandmother, and my mother was her daughter, Doris Elizabeth Vincent Sandidge.
I found the Cordrays in your photo on a Cordray family tree found in my mother's papers. Here's what I have: John Cordray 1854 - 1935, married Ella Davis 1859 - 1949. No year of marriage. Their children were William, Frank, Lindale (d. 1971), Ellis (b. 1904), and Helen. If there are no dates, they weren't listed in what I have. No mention of a Marcy. But there are too many similarities for these not to be the same people...
My great-grandpa Ebe Cordray was the son of your John Cordray's oldest brother Tom, born in 1841 -- the nephew of your Joh -- so no doubt he had visited in that house. I never met Ebe, because he died in 1942 before I was born, but I knew his wife Ella Irons Cordray, because she lived until 1969. I also knew Ebe's sister Rachel, who married Samuel Satterfield. She was a VERY old lady when I was a little kid -- we called her "Aunt Rate".
Anyone who wants what little info I have on these Delaware Cordrays, please let me know.
