trying to verify some of it. Here are the RAY's I'm trying to get info on.
I have info on the parents and siblings but need info on these and their
children. I do have some suspects, see below.

m. Apr 10, 1799 - Elender ROACH, b. 1775, NC, d. in Attala Co, Ms.

They had a son named Rev. James RAY, b. 1815?, d.Jan 25, 1859, Attala Co, Ms.
