Permely Jane Davidson Lay
My great great grandmother Permely Jane Davidson was born around l828 in Clinton Co. Tennessee. Around l849 she married Armstead Barton Hale, and they had (that I can be sure of) Thomas, Eli, Nancy and John (my Great-grandfather. Then during the civil war it appears she left Armstead Barton Hale for Thomas Lay. Unable to find John and his family after a certain period of time on the census. Sent off for a book of all the cemeteries in Campbell County trying to find where they had gone. After a search was made of each page, name by name. Found this Permely Jane Lay. With a name like that I felt like I was on the right track. Then about 3 years ago one of my family members went to Tenn. and went out to the cemetery. She took pictures of the markers and when she got home ran the census on the Lays and she thought she I found all the kids plus MANY more living all in some kind of a huge house or motel or something. Of course all that is gone now, and she were unable to even find anyone of Thomas Lay's relatives. She even subscribed to a newspaper in that area so she could pick up on names. There are a lot of Lays in that area, but they SAY they are not of his line. I would like to see if this is our Permely Jane Lay and maybe find someone that has a picture of her or any information at all.Thank you in advance.
