Notes |
- I thought Mary might be the same person as Mary Elizabeth McCleaster who was married to John Henry C. Rayburn 2 Apr 1879 in Fountain County, IN. Mary and John had two children, Carolyn Maud Rayburn born 1881 and Thomas Theodore Rayburn born 1887. I believe William's wife, Mary would have been too old to have a child (Thomas) born in 1887. Mary Elizabeth McCleaster's (married to John Henry) birth and death are a mystery. I believe it is possible that she could actually be the daughter of Mary (husband of William Drollinger) and if true could have been the result of an out of wedlock relationship which might explain her having the same surname (McCleaster) as Mary. Requires further research and evidence. (David H. Drollinger 15 May 2021)
