Wow - Clairborne ... There was a Clairborne Ray I'm almost positive. Gosh I'm moving from one house to another and will have to look up more on that name when things go back together. The Wright and Wray marriage also seems familiar to me. Thanks so much!

Some Ray members moved to Tennessee & Kentucky and others remained in Brunswick County, VA. My ggg g'pa was Hicks Jones Ray who moved to Marshall County, KY but there was a 2nd Hicks Jones Wray who lived in Brunswick Co, VA as late as 1860. I suspect they are "cousins". > > > ==== VABRUNSW Mailing List ==== > 1790 & 1800 County Tax Lists of VA > http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~ysbinns/vataxlists/index.htm > List Manager's email VABRUNSW-admin@rootsweb.com > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy > records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 > > ==== VABRUNSW Mailing List ==== Tombstone Transcription Project - Brunswick County http://www.rootsweb.com/~cemetery/virginia/index_brunswick.htm List Manager's email VABRUNSW-admin@rootsweb.com ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237
