William Alvis Ray, 1873 Hickman Co, Ky.
I had a great uncle I never knew of until recently, William Alvis Ray. He was the son of John Ray and Ellen Jane Arnold. I know his brother, Columbus Worth Ray was born in Hickman County, Kentucky in 1880. His mother died in 1882 and is buried in Columbus, Ky. in Hickman County. In Zion Cemetery, located on Ky. Highway 123 between Columbus and Oakton Ky there is a grave marked W. Al Ray 1873 - 1917. I think this is the grave of my great uncle. Does anyone out there know anything about this family? I'm especially looking for my Grandfather, Robert Luther Ray's birthplace. He was born 12-12-1876. I hope if I find anyone connected to William Alvis I can get more info about Robert and their father John. I assume John remarried after Ellen died, because there is at least one child attributed to him that is not attributed to Ellen. Please check my web page at
