RAY FAMILY HELP - BRICK WALL
Posted by: Barbara Daniels (ID *****0362) Date: September 30, 2006 at 15:27:33
I have reached a brick wall in my Ray family. Joseph Marion Ray was living there in 1813 and then moved to AL. His father was John Ray,b. 1739 at Charleston, SC and d. 1813 at McMinnville, Warren Co. He was married to Catherine Manning.
Joseph was in Capt. Tait's M Infantry in War of 1814, along with his brother, Thomas Ray. They were at Horseshoe Bend.
Joseph also had two known uncles, Thomas Ray and Benjamin Ray.
One of his brothers had the following sons: John Ray, George Thomas Ray, Hiram Ray, Joseph William Ray. Joseph's brother Thomas did not have any sons.
Joseph was born 1 Mar 1770 for an age reference.
Any help greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

- John Ray/Rhea sent his five oldest male children to America. The spelling was to have changed when the boys came to America. SonWilliam is believed to have changed his name to Rhea and is usually reported to have settled in West Virginia or Eastern TN.
Surname spellings in Ireland are : Ray, Rea, Rhea. Information from A.Deason Smith: adeasons@bellsouth.net.
The IGI has him born about 1720 and marriedabout 1739. Mr. A. Deason Smith states that is is only a possibilityfor the ancestry of James Rea, Sr.. There is no proof as yet. Alsospeculation that John Rhea is descended from French HuguenotAncestory, again with no proof.

References
The IGI gives the birthdate (approximated) of about 1740, as the first child of John and Hannah. However, an old Rae (Ray) graveyard, not far from McMinnville, discovered by Thomas J. Barnes (information found in Tennessee Cousins, page 526) states: John Rae died February16, 1813, ages 74 years, Baptist Preacher. Nancy Cooper, daughter of J. M. Rae died June 1, 1843, aged 61 year; Mary Brazeal daughter of J.M. Rae died 1811, aged 42 years. After John Rea died in 1813, Moses Rae was executor of the estate, on April 8, 1816. The witnesses to his appointment were Daniel Payne and Uriah York.. [5]
