There is a bit of guess work involved in the family of John Wray Jr. Honestly, I can not remember who the researcher was that provided me this information. Baxter Ray ended up in the Graves / Marshall County, Kentucky area as did my direct line ancestor - Hix Jones Ray. Contact Jerry Hollan (the old dude) for more information on Baxter Ray, Graves Co, KY
