You can find indices to some Maryland censuses, including 1776, at the archives: http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/refserv/html/census.html > There was a Gorge and Cathron > Ray listed with children Mary,Robert and Samuel Ray.

It's interesting that you are looking for a Mark Ray. I am looking for a Marcellus Ray, born about 1817, and lived in Baltimore City. Since Mark and Marcellus are basically the same name, I wonder if there might be some connection? -- Thomas M. Sommers -- tms@nj.net -- AB2SB
