There were seven children of Thomas Jenkins Clay and Abarilla Frances Staten (Tillie) Clay who lived until adulthood. The adult sister you are missing is Vivian Clay Dempsey Summerall. I am not sure about the name of Mabel as sister unless she is one of the four children who died at birth or before the age of 2. I think one of the infant sisters was Priscilla. The two young brothers were Samuel and David.

Three of the children of Henry Lee Clay and Yvonne Fabry Clay are married and are still living: Pamela Clay Lee, Patricia Clay Grosz, and Thomas Henry Clay (married to Eudene Clay). Paul Richard Clay never married and died in 2008.
