O.D.: Yes, Ovin wrote the book, RAY KINFOLKS, which was published after his untimely death. This book traces the descendants of James Braxton McCord Ray. It is a book of almost 300 pages of genealogy and family stories as only Ovin could tell them. You can almost hear Ovin talking as you ready the book. I am sorry that I do not know where to get the book. If I find out I will let you know. Attached is the material I have on the John "Jack" Ray family.

Gang, Check with our list-cousin Faye Johnston. I think she might could help with this.

This book is listed as being in the Attala County Library...not as good as getting your own copy, but better than nothing!
