Mike, do any of the books that you have mention a James WRAY, b 1797 @ Co. Donegal? I know very, very little about his family in Ireland, although I know that he did have a brother Alexander. James migrated to America ca 1817, and lived the rest of his life in Philadelphphia. There's s distict possiblity that his family was originally from Scotland. Any help or suggestions would be very welcome! Thank you! Barbara in MO (but originally from NYC.)
