Greenberry Sooter/Margaret Fly
For all those who have included Nicea/Nancy and Rilla/Arvilla as the children of Margaret Fly I now have proof that they are not the children of Margaret Fly. In 1868 per Newton County marriage records on ancestry "Bery Suiter married Mary Mosers". It seems very probable whoever copied the record made a mistake in the name. Mary (Killian) Marrs was the widow of John Marrs. In the 1870 Newton County census is listed Greenberry and wife Mary. Also listed are several Marrs children. In what is clearly an error on the census record Nicey age seven months is listed as a Marrs. She is actually the daughter of Greenberry and Mary Killian Marrs. Nicey married John Rafferty. In the 1910 census with John and Nicey is Mary Marrs who reverted to her previous name and is listed as mother in law. Per her death certificate Mary Marrs was born 25 Sept 1838 and died in Joplin MO 24 Nov 1914.
Per her death certificate Rilla was born 26 June 1875 and died in Joplin MO 27 Oct 1915. The death certificate lists her father as Sutter and her mother as Mary Marrs. A descendent of Rilla has additional documentation to establish Rilla/Arvilla was the daughter of Mary and not Margaret Fly. Rilla married James Wilson.
