He was born July 21, year unknown although it should be after 1875 and before 1883. His father was Joseph Worth Ray. Mother Emily Elizabeth (Holt) Ray. Their later children were Jackson Lee Ray, born 26 July 1878. I am also looking for Tom Joe Ray and Gladney Ray (sex unknown; perhaps female?), born to the same family sometime before 1892 or 1893. I believe all of these births were in Wise County and probably in/around Aurora or Rhome. Thanks for whatever you can find. Anything will be more than I have now!

If you will give me the names I'll see if they are listed in the book. Dave Pitts Houston Texas On Sunday, August 22, 2004, at 03:25 PM, Judy Perry wrote: > jesperry@qwest.net
