Some of my subjects of study would say they were born in one, then later say they were born in another. Of course, a lot people actually migrated from one to another. So...I would check for Ray/Rhea/Wray etc. on the 1788 militia list and 1796 Sullivan Co., TN tax list. http://www.tngenweb.org/sullivan/records/tl1796.htm http://www.tngenweb.org/revwar/counties/sullivan1788.html and Greene Co., TN 1783 (you can forward to the next page at each page bottom) http://www.genealogyforyou.com/usa/tennessee/greene/tax001.htm Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
