PLEASE NOTE: The parentage of Elizabeth Oury Rader is established through the letter of permission written on behalf of her mother Catherine Oury ("Catrin") in 1788 (by that time her father, Wendel Oury, had disappeared) The signature had been mistaken for "Calvin", and that misapprehension has persisted. Please see a copy of the original letter in the Wythe County Historical Review, the obituary in the Holston Methodist Magazine of her daughter Judith Oury Rader, who had married the Rev. Absolem Fisher, and the papers of Col. Cornelius C. Smith (1888-1963) housed in the Arizona Historical Society Collection. In some of Smith's papers, written contemporaneously with his cousin George Augustus Seagle, who by that time had assumed the superintendency of the State Fish Hatchery in Wythe County, Virginia, Col. Smith acknowledges his kinship with George Augustus Seagle through Seagle's mother, Nancy Oury Rader. Researchers will find that there is no mention of the existence of a Calvin Ory in any public record in the area in which the Oury family lived. The Obituary of Judith Oury Rader Fisher is included in the "Sources" section of her Wikitree profile.
