Cheryl, Thanks thats my Ray connection. I need to compare dates with what I have and see if Alcey is the wife I have for him at the time of death. Do you think I can assume that all of the people mentioned are either children or spouses of children of James Ray Jr. and that no grandchildren are included by name here? -----Original Message----- From: Cheryl <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sat, Sep 11, 2010 7:25 pm Subject: [TNWEAKLE] RAY extract notes...1845 sale of land in Henry Co TN Extracts: Filed Jan 21, 1845, Thomas Potts and Joseph Lamb.

Also since James Ray is referenced as Jr. Can I assume that Sr. was living at the time of Jr.'s death? <<Cheryl, Thanks thats my Ray connection.
