Johnita Robert Wiley Ray was born in 1892 so his father John would have been born
1850-1870, and his father 1810-1830. I simply do not have this information. The
John Rae
that you mentioned do you have any record of his children. There would have been a
Pearl Lois and an Ernest, plus one un named daughter. Dr. Bob!
PS We knew Malones in Crumbly's Chapel Al. Some spelled it Malone others Melouwn.
Are they kin to you???
