4. The Crail Mystery gets resolved! James Berry Crail, Jr. and Mary A. Jones have been a disappearing act since I started my Crail research. James and Mary pulled a disappearing act in the 1840, 1850, 1860 and 1870 censuses. They appeared in Shelby Co., IN land records in 1851-54. Mary returned in the 1875 city directories for Indianapolis, as a widow. Tracking Mary was possible until death in 1887. James was probably the James Crail who appeared in Hamilton Co., OH tax and church records during the mid-1830s.
I would really like to find a marriage record for the couple, their residences from about 1830-1950 and 1854-1875 and James' date and place of death. It would also be nice to find out exactly how many kids they had.
