He came to Bell County from Burleson County in 1870. Born Feb. 3, 1826 in TN. To TX in 1839 Children: J. W. Ray of Austin; C. R. Ray of Salado; Willie Ray of Lake Side, CA.;Mrs. J. H. Pruitt of Lindsey, OK. A brother T. F. Ray lived in Roswell, NM. This is from his obit Temple Daily Telegram issue March 7, 1926

Any more info, such as spouse's name, or children? I have a John Ray, who married a Lou (Louisiana?) Holt. Lou was b. 1837 in Talbot Co., GA. Just possibly a connection as many of my Holts came to Texas... Unfortunately, some records say my John Ray had two middle initials J.M., so that argues against. PS, I research Holt surname, not Ray...

My GreatGrandmother was Sarah Elizabeth Ray, she married an Ashcraft who had a butcher shop in Rogers TX. They lived in Bell county-she died in Rogers TX in 1948. I wonder if she could be related to John or Bigfoot Ray. Sarah Elizabeth was born in Georgia in 1859. If this rings any bells let me know. Thanks, Kay Magill Johnston

Hosea Camp Rasbury had been sheriff of Bell County. W. S. and Laura are buried in Greenwood Cemetery, Ft. Worth, Texas, near her uncle's family.

I think people need to be aware the 1880 census in the LDS file does not include everyone. I have several ancestors I have found on microfilm in 1880 who are not included in the LDS census files. If you don't find your family there, it does not necessarily mean they are not on the 1880 census. I have also found some valuable family information in the LDS census file, so it is a great source; just not complete.
