A History of Kentucky Baptists, From 1769 to 1885, by J. H. Spencer, 1886,
Rprinted by Church History and Archives, 1976, Lafayette, TN. Unknown
County.

WM. RAY was a humble, good man, and was one of the first preachers raised
up in Old South Kentucky Association, where he began to preach, as early
as 1792.  He afterwards gathered a church called, at first, Kettle Creek,
which united with Green River Association, in 1801.  The church appears to
have gone into the constitution of Stockton Valley, under the name of
Caney Fork.  Again, in 1801, it changed its name to Big Spring.  In 1812,
it split, most probably on the subject of Arianism, or Newlightism.  But
previous to this, Mr. Ray had moved to Tennessee, whee he united with the
Big Fork church, which belonged to Stocktons Valley.  He preached the
introductory sermon before that Association, in 1811, after which no more
is heard of him.
