Pam these Rays interest me as my Grandfather Robert Wiley left home in
Knoxville at age 14 and wound up in Ala. It is assume that he went to stay
with relatives. He chose to change his name from Rhea to Ray for what ever
reason. Several have been given. The most plausible is that he was in
evolved in a fight where a man have died and he left Tn and moved to Al and
change his mane. So Ray would fit. His mother was N/A so Choctaw county
would provide relative or at least sympathy it would seem. If you have any
more information-anyone-please let me know. Dr. Bob!
