One of these went across Splunge and Sipsy and joined a Ray in the firm of McKinney and Ray, owners of a store whichstod within one hundred feet of the present location of Big Foot Ray's water mill."

Terry Did you send me two emails? I think I might have deleted one of them accidently while checking my email. I received the one about the Bigfoot Ray water mill mentioned in Dr Evans book and how a man named McKinney and Bigfoot Ray started a mill. If you sent a second email would you please resend it?
