Dorothy AdamsGeneration No. 1
1. WILLIAM HARRIS1 RAYEL1,2 was born 1796 in Tennessee3, and died in Boonville, Cooper, Missouri. He married (1) JANE BROYLE TERRELL4. He married (2) SARAH E. MCCULLOCH5 December 17, 1835 in Boonville, Cooper, Missouri. She was born 1816 in Virginia6.
Notes for WILLIAM HARRIS RAYEL:
Per Richard Rayle, William Harris Rayel was adopted by William Rayl and Elizabeth, but his real parents are unknown.
The 1860 census lists Sarah and William's children as:
Sarah V., Anna S., S.C., and John M.
The 1850 census lists the children as
Virginia, Martha, Anastasia, and Ann Eliza
There is a Carolyn Rayl living next door with the White's. She is 6 years old. Maybe that S.C. of the 1860 census, but I'm not sure.
The ditto mark for all the children living with the White's is for Carolyn's last name of Rayl, but that could easily be a census error.

Notes for JAMES TERRELL RAYEL:
The 1860 and 1870 Census information clash in:
1. Where James was born
2. Where Mary was born
3. The names of Jane and/or Jude
4. The ages of Jane and/or Jude and Mary
5. Temperance Elizabeth is not listed on the 1870 Census
6. Mary is not listed on the 1860 Census
7. Susan is not listed on the 1870
I have reviewed all the birth records for Kaufman Co. Texas and none of the Rayels are included in that information. I have also read most of Lampasas County records and can find no Rayels.
