I finally found James M. Shay & Margaret in the 1860 census. They are living in Moreland, Scott Co., Missouri and are listed as James M Chay. That is why I had difficulty finding them before. It lists James as 24 and Margaret as 15. The census is dated June 1860. James is listed as being born in New York. I noticed that Nancy Owens has her father as being listed from New York in the Potter County census records for 1910, 1920 & 1930. I will now keep looking to see where in New York he might have come from.
I have sent a request to Scott County, MO court house for a marriage license for James Shay & Margaret Mayberry dated 1859 or 1860. I am hoping to hear back from them soon. Thats all for now.
