Stockton- RAY Cemetery on Rayland Farm- located 2 miles west of Metcalfe Co.
High School on US 68-80, turning right at the Robert Stockton Historical
Marker. The cemetery is about 0.1 miles back on the right of a hill. There
are 34 identifiable graves and 6 non-identifiable. it was still reveiving
buriels in 1978.
I was interested in this cemetery hoping to find the burial place of
Elizabeth Meek Rhea Stockton, and her husband Neuberry Stockton.
Unfortunately I did not. but want to share these with you on the list, in
case you can match up.

Here are the RAY's buried there:

Nicholas Sr. 4 Nov. 1782 Westmoreland Co. MD-Feb. 9, 1865

Sr.

Stockton's were baptist and so were the Ray's. Suspect this family ties into
the Gorin's thru the Rogers family.
