Margaret, I am a descendant of LITTLEBERRY SHIELDS, b. 1764. I believe if you will refer to the publication titled "Littleberry Shields of Virginia and Georgia 1746 - 1827 and His Descendants (c) l990 by Ilene Chandler Miller you will perhaps connect up some valuable information. In addition, there is also reference to the Rays connected to the McGinnis family found in this publication. A copy of this should be on file in the Commerce, Ga. Public Library.
