Child wrongly attributed to these parents:
. [Sylvester?] "Sill" McCRAY, b. 2 May 1850; had daughters Pearl and Grace It does not appear that George & Elizabeth had a son, Sylvester ("Sill/Syl"). Sill does not appear in the 1850 census with his alleged twin, William Henry, nor is his birthdate the same as William's, nor is it biologically possible for a woman to have children two or three months apart (Feb/Mar and May of 1850), nor does Sill appear in the 1860 or 1870 censuses with George & Elizabeth, nor does Sill or his wife or his children appear in either George's will or Elizabeth's will. Also, my great-grandmother, Maude (THOMPSON) ROSE, daughter of our subjects' daughter, Delilah (McCRAY) THOMPSON, lived to be 98 years old and worked for years on the family genealogy, but never included a "Sill" amongst her aunts and uncles — and she would have known who her aunts and uncles were because Maude was orphaned as a toddler and was raised by her grandparents (our subjects), thus Maude knew her aunts and uncles well (she was especially fond of her Uncle Hen). Surely, if she'd had an "Uncle Sill," she would have known about him, but she never included him in any family group sheet. |
