I went back thru some of these Ray files . Starting with Joseph
February 26,1780 Company of Captain John Allison under the command of Colonel John
Bowman, County of Kentucky County Virginia, also serving in the company were Samuel
Teater, Joseph Wray, Ambrose Ross, Thomas Dooley,
Others include John Kelly, Charles Teater, Samuel Dunn, John Adams, John Willis, This a excerpt of Timothy Logans revolution pension. son inlaw of Squire Boone.
This Joseph was here 1780 . I found Samuel Teaters fathers land deed joined by a William Gains 1783.. It should be where the spot of the fort at Danville was built 1785. Bolye co.
the Joesph Rayscalped by Benge should then be the other one listed 1782 Washington co.
1785 shows 3 more names James Ray John Ray John Gibson.
Joseph Ray s wife was Mary Collins. If we go down to 1805 Russell co deeds instraments. Its shows a group named by county in some cases Feathergail Adams Garrard ,Jonas Griffith Claibourne Hicks . One of the witness is Meredith Collins on Claibourne Hicks deed. farther down the deed list is joseph Ray and a Benjamin Lockhart from Jackson tenn.,
After 1820 Joseph Ray and son jr Jonas Griffith are in Jackson tenn
By 1787 Joseph Ray was near to George Teater sr Madison ky and Jonas Griffith.. since Samuel Teaters brother William married Nancy Ross -Ambrose above and Samuel was in the same unit with Joseph Ray it stands to reason he was the only Ray near who could have produced Elizeth Ray who married Samuel Teater prior to Surry Rays arrival in Garrard.
I also show in 1835 kentucky revolution veterans census.
3 collins [kentucky miltia] [Virginia line.] One James Ray Mercer ky listed as Captian.
There was aBradley Meredith list on 2 seperate tax list with Montgomery indian lands Collins. Ill bet thats were the name Meredith and and his son Bradley came from who married Sarah Ray.. I came across earlier 2 John Rays in the Floyd Pike area married to Collins girls ill look em again.
To go alittle futher. William Gains brother Richard Gains is then deeded near Jourdan Gibson scout of both Daniel and Squire Boone John Gibson again in Davidson Tenn Rev land Grants. they moved a lot..
