Mornin' from Ohio, Les-- I've been meaning to inquire about some of the genealogical hints on yours and Cathy's email transmissions along with the persistent appearance of DeLay until you sent the whole shot this morning allowing me to admire (and bookmark) your very nicely done web page. It happens that my great-great grandfather was Jeremiah Delay (1810-1866). His branch ended up in Vermillion County, Ill but I don't have the particulars. His first wife was Melinda Canaday (1812-1848 by whom he had five children: Harriett (1832-1913) my great grandmother who married Francis Fernando Diocello Scott; James, Elizabeth, Mathilda (Aunt Matt) and Noah. By his second wife, Rachel A. Smith (1828-18??) He sired Melinda, Franklin, a name unknown, Mary Alice "Mae" (1860-1915) my grandmother (yes, the plot thickens!); Ella, and Rachel who subsequently married "Somebody" Purney and became the mother of James F. Purney who I believe was a dentist in Lincoln, Nebr. for many years. Want more? Francis Fernando Scott and Harriet DeLay lived in Kearney, Nebraska where they farmed and raised four boys: Thomas Jefferson, twins William F. and Charles Black, and my grandfather, Jeremiah DeLay Scott, "Jerry." Of the four, twin William was a journalist who died unmarried in his early twenties. The other three, Tom, Charles, and Jerry all were court reporters beginning in Kearney. Later Charles moved to O'Neill (where I was born) and finally Jerry and Mary Alice (who had never intended having children because of their consanguinity, but nevertheless produced my father, Clifford B.) moved out to the sandhills of Nebraska. If you don't know, Rushville, Nebraska is a homely little town. Today much of it is bland and buff colored like the surrounding area's sandhills in the heat of summer when the relentless sun fades the grass to a pale dun. In the 1970s when we visited for the first time, it still had wooden board walks and little to lure a modern traveler. But Rushville has had more than its share of the famous because its railroad station was nearest the Pine Ridge Indian reservation that figures prominently in the history of Native American uprisings. Teddy Roosevelt, then a correspondent for Harper's Magazine, was in Rushville in 1890 writing about fears of another Ogalala Sioux rebellion. Buffalo Bill Cody came, so did John J. Pershing as a lieutenant in the Sixth Calvary preparing for his later glory in World War I while he waited for another Indian revolt. The artist Frederick Remington was at Rushville. So was President Calvin Coolidge when he donned that famous Stetson and was made an honorary Sioux chief. The family of gifted Nebraska writer, Mari Sandoz, was largely responsible for putting Rushville on the map. Her Swiss-born father, Old Jules, about whom her biography was written, recognized the potential for feeding cattle on the unusually rich grass that blankets the sandhills, for establishing farms and orchards in its fertile soil. When Jules Sandoz was tried for murder, he sent for the state's top attorney, Harrington of O'Neill, (I think his first name was Michael, he was always Judge Harrington to me) who later became a respected Holt County judge. Harrington got Jules acquitted; my grandfather, Harrington's long-time friend and associate, was the court reporter on the Sandoz case. In the early 1920s, when Judge Harrington began cutting back on his law practice in advance of his retirement, he invited my father, not long out of Univ. of Nebraska law school, to become his law partner. Judge and Mrs Harrington lived in an elegant two-story Edwardian house that still stands across the street from the little bungalow in which I was born. My grandfather had been assigned to the Sheridan County courthouse in Rushville as its Court Reporter for several years when my grandmother died there in 1915. That was when my grandfather purchased the family cemetery plot where my grandmother, grandfather, and father are buried. Their comfortable old home still stands just a couple of blocks from the courthouse. A sheltered unpretentious structure, two storied and white, with a wide side porch on the front. Through the front windows one can see a living room large enough for my grandmother's piano (she was also an accomplished artist in oils) along with ample space for the family and friends who commonly congregated there. Still sitting serenely on a corner, the house is surrounded by greenery that is now more than six feet tall. Rushville's doyenne and the founder of its museum told me that as a school girl she had lived nearby and remembered when my grandfather had planted the hedge himself. I reached out to touch the leaves wanting to feel something of the man whose genes I carry. She went on to tell us how she could remember seeing him walk out his front door each morning, down the steps and along the path to the courthouse, a trip made so punctually that local watches could be set by his appearance. Some years ago when we were still living in Carmel, I telephoned a Mrs Raymond DeLay. How I can come across her, I can no longer remember--only that she was a widow living in Fresno. She knew little of her husband's family but shared what information she had: she said that their DeLays had come to the U.S. with Lafayette during the Revolutionary War, that the name was de la Aubigne. She was told that a mid-1960s Nat'l Geographic mag shows the family castle in the south of France!! In 1965 Mrs DeLay's husband corresponded with a Mrs Cathy Howard nee DeLay of Oakley, Kansas (501 Smoke Hill Ave with no listed telephone!). She said that a John DeLay , born in the 1780s or 1790s moved into Iowa in the 1850s then went on to Nebraska. She said he was probably a preacher-farmer. He had five children, William W., James, Rubin ( the grandfather of Raymond), Henry and a fifth whose name she didn't know. Raymond DeLay (who died in Fresno in 1982) was born in Bartlett, Nebraska. His mother's sister, Leona Andrus, worked in a grocery store in O'Neill. (And THAR'S a right useful bit of genealogy!!) Joseph R. DeLay (no, I DON'T know where he came from. I'm reading from 20 year old scribbled notes from that single telephone conversation) fathered Rubin, Oliver, Mabel (she lived in Spaudling), Ruth (who lived in Grand Island), Myrtle (the only sib still living in 1982 was in Yuba City, CA ), Clara (who lived in Chambers, Nebr), Edna, John L. and Raymond. Rubin DeLay married Margaret Thomas (in Nebraska) and they had: Rosella, Bowen, Rubin, Jr., Clemp (who was a Dodge City marshal) and Joseph. And my scoop for the day: there is (or at least was) a DeLay National Bank in Norfolk, Nebraska notorious as the birthplace of Johnny Carson. And that concludes all my information on the DeLays which is bloody little, I know. Perhaps some of these odd bits will be useful as confirmation for legitimate information you already have. On the other hand, ask me about the Scotts and I can take you through the U.S. to 1643 (my 8th great grandfather owned half of Long Island which even I agree would have made a lovely legacy had the blighter not sold it) and back to the late 13th century in Kent, England. If any of this works, do let me know. Always fun to feel useful. I ADORED your latest Darwin Award. Too funny. My only suggestion for your web page: tell the world what a darling looker is your Cathy . Boy, do you EVER have taste!

Les--Fellow Cornhusker! The coincidences here are becoming uncanny. First the DeLays in Danville, Illinois--okay, Vermillion County--and now your acquaintance with Sabetha. I wonder if your Mary Ann Starr ties into that third child of Jeremiah Delay and his second wife, Rachel. By the way, family lore has it that Rachel was a perfectly wonderful step-mother, beloved by all the children; the antithesis of the stories with which most of us are familiar. If your birthday is the 13th of June, you're almost exactly two months younger than my son who made three trips to Vietnam as a helicopter pilot before he was shot down. Now he's a corporate computer hot-shot with LanVision of Cincinnati. Shirley
