Sophia and David went to the States. In the 1900 US census they were in Massachusetts with two of their children. Another son was born in 1903.

David remarried. He and his wife Belle were in the 1910 census with no children.

Sophia was working as a seamstress, living in lodgings in Boston in 1910. She was divorced, and indicated on the record that of her 3 children, only one was living. There was no child living in lodgings with her.

Roy Allison Raynor gave his father's name on a WW1 enlistment form, as his nearest living relative. He seems to be the surviving child, but I was unable to find him in records until 1918.

Sophia's second husband was Allann Moore. They had three children, Allene, Allan, and Lloyd. Her third husband was Harry S. Pearson.
