[or-roots] IRE: Israel Family Reunion in Corvallis July 31-Aug 1

[denisesproed at onlinenw.com]

Hi Pat,
   When I'm home I shall look a bit further for the CLAY "relatives" as my
memory tells me there are some other connections in my database.  The
COLLET/COLLETT children were the step-daughters of a GILLIAM lady (I'm
at work so I don't have all the names firmly in my memory bank).  I
believe a William CLAY married another COLLETT sister.
   I only have back to Johnson CLAY as I am not a descendant of that
branch but I will check my cousins database and share the information
as she descends from that line directly.
   Thanks for the response!

Denise
