I believe someone had sent me some wrong information. I believe they meant Columbia co Ga but that was a different George Ray who died in 1804. I know George Ray lived in Clarke co Ga and the reason I have read that he died in 1819 is that I found a land transaction where his son Samuel Ray who went to Alabama in 1819 deeded land back to George Ray in 1819 and that was the last record about George Ray anyone has been able to find. I know many of the Rays went to Jasper co Ga and were living there in the 1820's so maybe Geroge did die in 1819 or maybe he was living in Jasper co Ga with relatives or maybe he was in a different county. I believe he had a son named George Ray also which makes it more confusing. His son Solomon Ray whop lived ion Clarke co Ga died in 1813 but I believe he had probaly sold his Clarke co Ga property and went to Jasper co Ga also but I am not sure. I believe Solomon Ray probaly died in Jasper co Ga in 1813 but he ! might have died in Clarke co Ga or he might have died in the War of 1812 although I can not find a record of him fighting in the War of 1812. He was my ancestor. Any records you might have that could help me find when and where George Ray or his son Solomon Ray died would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ross
