I have a family tree of a Ray family that shares a lot of these names it was
written by Dallas Rea that is about 85 years old. They is another Ray family
that entered Virginia about the same time, the family of John Ray (John sent
his 5 sons to America) but we still believe that there is a connection
between that family and the Fargus and the Moses Ray families.

The Margaret Ray below married Jesse Grimes (also called Graham) and she
was the daughter of the Moses Wray who died about 1801 in Franklin Co.,
VA. Her mother was Elizabeth Morris.

The others may have been related to her but I don't know for sure.
