Biography
Plura Bays was born in August 1886 in Arkansas (or Mississippi.)
1,2 She married
Thomas Herbert Rea, son of
Noble R. Rea and
Sarah Cordelia Newell, on 21 November 1909 in Faulkner Co., AR. Plura Bays died on 16 December 1928 in Faulkner Co., AR. She was buried in December 1928 in Mt. Vernon Cemetery, Mt. Vernon, Faulkner Co., AR, Find A Grave Memorial# 106938394.
Note: Online genealogies (ancestry.com and findagrave.com) show a birth year of 1881, which is also the date on her headstone. However her age on the 1910 census was 23 and on the 1920 census was 31, indicating a much later birth year. Zachariah Bays' surname was badly written on the 1900 census and appears to be "Boiz", however he and four daughters were listed in Mt. Vernon Twp., p.10B, lines 84 - 88. The daughter listed as "Flora W." was undoubtedly Plura, as there was no daughter born in 1881, but rather Lena in 1879 and Alice in 1882. This Zachariah Bays appears to be the same individual as listed at Beat 3, Washington County, Alabama in 1880, with wife Harriette and a granddaughter. Daughter Lena who in 1900 was listed as born in 1879 is not shown on the 1880 census with Zachariah, and Harriette was already 56 years of age in 1880. One supposes that Harriette passed and Zachariah remarried about 1885 to a woman who already had daughter Lena and possibly Alice, and together they had Plura and Hannah as listed in 1900. Numerous public member trees on ancestry.com show Zachariah Bays and some of his daughters but none of the information about their alleged mothers can be verified and much can be easily disproven.
