Dear Karen,
Having the time I checked old census records for Edward N. Trail and found that he indeed was married twice the two youngest children in the 1860 census are in the family of Edward N. Trail in the 1880 census, but a different wife. He is also somewhat uncertain of his exact age giving a slightly different age in the 1860 census. however due to him naming one of his daughters Nancy and a son William. He looks certainly to be the son of Edward Northcroft Trail and his wife Nancy Lawrence. he was actually baptised in 1822 in Virginia. His father Edward Trail is the son of William Trail and Frances Northcroft and a grandson of James Senior. I know this does not help with Mary but perhaps the Virginia records will give you more of Edward and Nancy's family regards Elsie Ritchie
