He was born in 1857 not sure where, he married Sarah Rebbecaa Siverly on Jan 1 1878 in Clark County, IL, he died on June 15, 1943 in Terra Haute. I trying to find out if I have the right parents for him. I have his parents as John and Louisa (Moore) Gummere but I keep finding conflicting stories on him. I can not find where he was born so I can not go that way. I have a copy of his marriage license but in Clark Co., IL they only give you the front of the license so you do not get any extra information there. Any help anyone could and would give would be very much appreciated.

Kath Conover and I were cousins. We are still interested in the Markle line . Clay Markle was in the tavern business in Terre Haute in the early 1900's with our great grandfather, Ralph L. Conover. Ralph L. and his wife, Anna Smith, named a child for Clay and another son ,Warren Conover, named his son for his brother Clay that died as a youngster. Do any of the Markle family have photos of the tavern to share and would any look at a photo we have and try to identify those in the picture? Thanks.

History of Vigo and Parke County
by H.W. Beckwith
dated 1880
Page 417
W. R. Ray, farmer and dealer in stock, Riley, was born in Vigo county,
Indiana, December 25, 1835, and is the son of John Ray, who came to this
county as early as 1818, and whose sketch will be found in the pages of this
history. Mr. Ray has been a resident of Riley township, where he has been
engaged in farming and stock raising, and by strict attention to business he
has been successful. In 1858 he was married to Hester Lee, daughter of Dr.
Lee, who was one of the prominent early settlers of Riley township. She was
born in Vigo county, February 23, 1836. They have five children: John H., M.
S., Charley, Daisy and Annie, and two deceased: Harriet A and Rebecca R.
Found this in one of my books:
History of Vigo and Parke County
by H. W. Beckwith
dated 1880
Page 410
John Ray, farmer, Riley, one of the old and respected citizens of Riley
township, was born in Butler county, Ohio, July 30, 1811. His father
William was a native of Kentucky, and came to Ohio in about 1810, and in 1818
he, and his father, two brothers, John and Isaac M., one sister Elizabeth,
and his mother, came to Vigo county on horseback, and settled in Riley
township, then a wild wilderness inhabited by red men of the forest, whom Ray
can well remember seeing. The Ray family first settled on Sec. 19, in this
township, where they entered eighty acres of land, where they built a log
cabin, and soon began making improvements for their future home. Their
neighbors were not as numerous as they are at this time, there being but
seven families in the township at that time. Mr. Ray's grandfather was an
officer seven years in the revolutionary war, and his father served in the
war of 1812, and was the first justice of the peace in Riley township. In
1835 Mr. Ray joined the Methodist Episcopal church, and by his every-day walk
in life has proved the consistency of his faith. In 1834 Mr. Ray married Miss
Rebecca Crum, a native of Hamilton county, Ohio, born in 1812. Her parents
came to Wayne county, Indiana,
in 1817, and came to Vigo county in 1833. Mrs. Ray has been a kind mother
and faithful wife, and have taken part in the interests of the family. She
joined the Methodist Episcopal church in 1835 with her husband, and they have
walked hand in hand in their religious faith. She is the mother of nine
children, four living: Centenary A., Demeris A.,
wife of H. Jackson; William R., Sarah R. and Hamilton. The names of the
deceased are Isaac N., Theodore, John E. and Americus M.

Jill,
Can you tell me from what source you obtained the info on Mary Jane Condover/ Conover's marriage to William H. Merry? Kath Conover was my cousin. She died last summer. My sister and I are planning a trip I will be making to NJ in a few weeks. I would like to look at your source and check in NJ for other siblings of Mary Jane's parents, Ralph R. and Elnor Snedeker Conover. I would still like help with what other info you might have on Louis Monninger Jr's wife and children and Emma. I would like to speak to their descendants. Thanks

As promised, here is the 1860 census information for the Rays. As you will see, they do seem to be all related; the first 3 families (which includes your Elizabeth) are all living next to each other:
M563-303, Vigo, Riley, Pg 819, Ln 40 and continuing on to Pg 820, 1204/1123
W.B. Ray 24 Farmer 8200/400 IN
Hester 24 IN
John H 2 IN

John Ray 49 Farmer $2700/800 OH
Rebecca 48 OH
Centinary 20 OH
Americus 17 OH
Sarah 15 OH
Ln 9, 1206/1125:
Wm Ray 40 Farmer $2700/600 OH
Elisabeth 30 OH
John 19 IN
Nelson 15 IN
Sarah 10 IN
Mary 5 IN
Wm 3 IN
Edw 1 IN
(Note: This is obviously a 2nd marriage for Wm since John is 19 and Elisabeth only 30. But, the Wm Ray/ Sarah Burnham marriage I gave you previously, may or may not be the same Wm. John is too old to have been born to this couple.)
Mary appears to be the first child of Wm and Elizabeth.
One other Ray family appearing in 1860; same census, but page 829, Ln 34, 1264/1183, and apparently related:
James Ray 44 Farmer $5000/500 OH

I found them in the 1880 Census, Vigo Co.,Riley twnp; however, because it shows Elizabeth was a widow, it appears as the husband/father had died between 1870 and 1880 (last child born in 1870).
