I am following these postings with interest as Evaline Lorinda Thatcher Elmy'smother, Ermina Raymer Thatcher, was a younger sister of my great grandfather, John Raymer. "Eva" and her brother, William Ola Thatcher were the first two of Ermina's 15 children. Birth order gave them a distinct advantage as they were raised partly by their Raymer grandparents, Peter and Mercy M Bates Raymer of Tuscola Co., Indian Fields twp., Michigan. They appear with them in the 1880 census. As Peter Raymer died in Nov 1887 and Mercy in 1892, I believe they lived with other Raymer relatives until they were adults. William was found in the 1900 census in Arenac Co. Mi. with his mother's brother Charles Raymer- spelled Raymore in the census- and a younger brother, Edward L Thatcher b. 16 Oct 1881 in Juniata, Tuscola Co., Mi. I have more info on William and have just been posting with one of his descendants. And I have a great deal on the Raymer's for anyone interested in Evaline Elmy's maternal ancestry.
Did anyone determine whether William Elmy and Evaline had several children aside from Robert Andrew Elmy? And did he also die in Bay City Michigan as his wife Hilda Did?
