I am seeking information on the origin of the name for Luray, MO. I wonder if it was named for Luray, VA, by the early settlers who arrived there from that part of Virginia. Luray, VA, was founded in 1812 on Hawksbill Creek in Shenandoah County, VA. It became the county seat of Page County when that county was formed in 1831 from Shenandoah (mainly) and Rockingham Counties. Joe Baker
