April 30, 2008 Children of David Shay and Sarah Worden

I am just resending info on all of the children & grandchildren of David Shay & Sarah Warden. Jane Shay would have had at least 12 cousins who could have had descendants. Also Jane's sister Nancy might still have descendants floating around the Potter County, PA area. I am hoping someone somewhere might have info to help us with. Unfortnately it will only be Nancy's descendants who would have any info on the Mayberry side and that is probably a long shot. I am going to have the Potter County Historical Society send me an obituary for Nancy Shay Owens from 1944. I am hoping it can provide some details.
