I was just curious about the Name Dunaway above, is that the name of a
child or the married name of Mary Kathryn?

I have a Dunaway/Jay comination in my family from Texas. We are related to
David Jay, I would have to look over my records, but I think David or his
father was a brother to John Jay Jr. I was just curious when I saw the
Dunaway in your message.

Kay, in Texas
