4 Jan 1931: Mima Simmons Crail dies at Indianapolis.
29 Jul 1934: Catherine O'Neil Crail dies at Indianapolis.
Over the years, I have been extremely stubborn with this family. James Crail is probably James Berry Crail Jr., son of James Sr. Inconsistencies in research offered from other people & the inability to tie a possible 4th son [George B.] to sons Sylvester, John & Aaron has played a major role in my hesitation. If the Crail lineage proves out to my satisfaction at some point, then the family will trace back to Scotland.
Cunningham:
1 Aug 1773: James Cunningham marries Pathiah/Bathiah Standiford in Baltimore, Maryland.
c1782: Bathiah Cunningham is born in Baltimore, MD.
c1790: Harriet Cunningham is born in Baltimore, MD
1801-05 or 1815-16: Captain James Cunningham is captured by Barbary Pirates; his release is negotiated after a fellow Mason or Redman notifies the American Consul. [This incident appears to have taken place during one of the Barbary Wars. If the 1st, it could have been the elder James; if the 2nd, probably the younger. Whichever James it was, he was traveling to Spain a few years later when he died.]
11 Oct 1803: Bathiah marries Captain Ralph Porter in Baltimore. [He dies in 1822.]
31 Jul 1810: Harriet Cunningham marries Captain Zachariah Rhodes in Baltimore. [He dies at sea in 1814.]
1812: Ann Bathiah Rhodes [Zachariah & Harriet] is born in Baltimore.
1812-15: Sea Captain James Cunningham [probably son] serves in the War of 1812.
c1818: Harriet Cunningham Rhodes dies in Baltimore.
c1818/9: Ann becomes ward of Ralph & Bathiah Porter.
1823-1825: Bathiah & Ann move to Harford Co., MD.
2 Feb 1825: Batiah marries Cornelius Prall Jr. in Harford Co., MD
7 Feb 1828: Ann marries Isaac Rittenhouse Prall in Harford Co., MD.
1860-70: Bathiah Cunningham Porter Prall dies in York Co., PA.
1865: Ann Bathiah Rhodes Prall dies in York Co., PA.
The Cunningham timeline relies heavily on a story passed down by one of Ann's sons & written about 1905. No dates were given, so matching events with historical dates is a challenge. The two James Cunnighams could be mixed up as well. Fortunately, I was able to find, at least, a secondary source on Zachariah's death. Census, probate & city directories fleshed out the 1810-1818 stretch. Nativity: Probably Scots or Irish.
