Notes |
- Milton Wellington Ray was married to a Nancy N. Ingle. Nancy was born 1847 and died in 1928 at Asheville, NC. She was the daughter of John Jackson Ingle and Matilda Metcalf Ingle. I am not sure of the date of death of Hamlton Wellington Ray. I interviewed one of his grandchildren before she died and she believed that he died in about 1911. The date is much to early, due to property settlements in which Wellington purchased the property rights to the farm left without will by James and Sarah, from Sarah, her spouse, Henry and Julia, and A. L. Ray from Knox County, Tennessee, who identified himself as a grandson of James M. and Sarah E. Ray. The latter settlement was made in about 1913. Milton and Nancy's children were:
I. James Jackson Ray, born 1874, died 25 Oct 1918. Married a cousin, Addie Mae Ray,
born 1882, died 1917. Their children were as follows:
A. Thomas Leroy Ray, died 1958. Nothing further.
B. Eskie (son), died in 1967 of a heart attack.
C. Carrie, married an Anderson, died in 1967 of a stroke.
D. Kelly Ray, lived in Asheville, NC. I interviewed him several times prior to his death. He tried his best to help me find Milton W. Ray's family bible, but
we were unable to locate it. Kelly was a bad alcoholic.
E. Ollie Mae Rinehart. How happy I am that I was able to talk with her prior to her death. She was a gracious lady and provided so much as the interviewee mentioned above. Her children were Estelle, who married a Shelton and lived in Michigan; Robert Rinehart, who lived in Black Mountain at the time of the interview, and Calvin (JC). They were born in 1932, 1929, and 1934 respectively.
F. Melvin Ray, died in 1973 of a heart attack.
G. Willie Ralph "Bill", lived in Asheville at time of the interview.
H. Hubert and Ruford, twins born in 1915. Hubert lived in South Carolina and Ruford lived in Providence, RI.
