rfhouston@mindspring.com You said that William Leonard Milner, son of William and Nancy Edmunds Milner married Elizabeth P. Ray in 1827. Was Elizabeth's last name Ray or was it spelled Wray??? I'm asking this because I know that a Milner who lives near Graves, KY, has a whole family branch full of Wrays which can be spelled many different ways. rfhouston@mindspring.com Date: Sun, 1 Jul 2007 11:20:52 -0400 From: "Dot & Len Milner" <lendot@comcast.net> Subject: Re: [TNWEAKLE] Milner History To: <tnweakle@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <000801c7bbf3$69f7e810$2a863b44@your4dacd0ea75> Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset="iso-8859-1"; reply-type=original David, Thanks for the response. I will try to clarify your Milners. The L. Milner in the 1850 Census is William Leonard Milner, son of William and Nancy Edmunds Milner. He married Elizabeth P. Ray in 1827 in Halifax County, VA. In 1847, they sold their land on Bannister River and moved to West Tennessee. Leonard, on the return trip from visiting his sister in Arkansas, died of Cholera and was buried on the banks of the Mississippi River. His young son, William Mark Milner, was with him and was returned to Weakley County by Masons. This story was related to Dan Freeman by his father, Roy B. Freeman, son of Frances Elizabeth Milner==a daughter of William Mark Milner. After Leonard's death, Elizabeth married William Jones in 1854 in Weakley Couty. William Leonard, son of William and Nancy Edmunds Milner and grandson of Mark and Sarah Tune Milner was also a first cousin to Beverly R. Milner. John Add Milner, who married Minnie Blake, was the son of William Mark and Mary Virginia Chandler Milner Hope I haven't confused you. Leonard Milner DeBary, FL

Rhonda, All of the Virginia documentation spelled her name RAY but, like the spelling of so many names, it could have been spelled WRAY. Most of the Kentucky Milners were decendents of John Milner, a brother to my line, who moved from eastern Kentucky- Lincoln , Harrison- to Carlisle, Fulton, Hickman, and Graves Counties.
