BOOTH/NAY/WELLS of NY,OH,IA,NE,NJ

Classification: Query
Am looking for any information on the following families:

Henry P NAY (b:1846,OH - d: bef 1884), census shows parents born in NY. Henry married Eva Helen WELLS (28 Mar 1852, OH - 21 Dec 1931, FL). Census shows Eva's parents were born in NY. Eva's death certificate show her father was Henry Wells and her mother Margaret Unknown. But earlier family information also indicates her father could have been a Joshua Wells (whose wife was Sarah Unknown), or that she was adopted by Joshua Wells.

Henry and Eva's children were:
Lula NAY (b: 1871, IA - d:???)
George NAY (b: 1873, IA - d:???)
Jennie M NAY (b: 1880, NE, d:???)

Henry, Eva and family show in the 1880 Kearney, Buffalo Co., NE census. By 1885 Eva is shown remarried and living in the Divide Precinct, in Phelps Co., NE, with children from her first marriage and daughter Marthey BOOTH from 2nd marriage.

Eva Helen (WELLS) NAY married John Stackhouse BOOTH (b: 12 Oct 1841, PA - d: 1 Nov 1918, NJ), their marriage date is unknown.
John and Eva's children were:
Margery or Marthey BOOTH (b: 1884, NE - d:???)
Ayers E BOOTH (b: 24 May 1890, NE - d: 10 DEC 1966, FL)

Also of note, John S BOOTH was married before he married Eva Helen WELLS, but his 1st wife's name is not known, but he had a son with her by the name of Harry BOOTH (b: 1867, PA - d:???).

As you can see from the information, it appears some or all of the family moved to NJ (that's where John S BOOTH died), and then Eva's son moved to Jacksonville, FL, where Eva died on a visit during Christmas.

Any information would be very helpful.

Thank you, Brad Lawhead
