I'm going to make a trip to Springfield and attempt to find answers, but in the meantime, if anyone can help identify these folks, I'd be eternally grateful!

Dale Wiseman-- Thu Nov 6 18:19:58 1997 The following is a note from Margy Miles, [email protected]:
 " I have a beautiful old 3x5 picture professionally mounted on a "picture board" (for lack of a better description). It is a family. Man, woman, 3 children. On the back is written; "Rec'd Dec. 17, 1903 at Carthage, MO. L.G. Adams & Family >From Springfield, MO." This is written in old style writing in old ink. I thought maybe a descendant of this Adams family would be thrilled to get it. I know I would if it were my family. I am not selling pictures. Someone can have this for what I paid for it. I believe it was only about $3 or $4."
Please contact Margy directly if this is your family.....thanx. megan

Loraine Kerns Aug 30 1997
I am actively seeking the parents of Thomas Wray b.15 Dec 1776, Gallia Co., Ohio; d. 17 Oct 1843, Gallia Co., Ohio. Thomas married Rachel Neal on 26 Sep 1802 in Monroe Co., WV. They moved to the Gallia/Lawrence Co., Ohio area approximately 1820. Thomas had at least one proven brother, John Wray b.ca. 1775, Virginia and d. 1862 in Christian Co., MO. John married Sarah McGlammery in 1799 in Greenbrier (later became Monroe Co.) Co., WV. John moved to Lawrence Co., Ohio about 1815, later to Vermillion Co., IL about 1829 then to Missouri about 1832. In 1834 he married Nany Kyle Rapp (widow of Daniel Rapp) in Greene Co., MO. Thomas may have had another brother named Edmond or Edward. Possibility of more siblings. We have a team of experienced researchers that has gathered a great deal of data on this family and others with the surname Wray - often spelled Ray - and sometimes Wrey/Rae/Rea/Reah. We have seen the name spelled differently within the same document. There is strong evidence that Thomas & John were originally from Buckingham/Amherst counties in Virginia. Of particular interest is Moses Ray who left a will in 1766, Amherst Co., Virginia. His property was originally purchased in Albemarle Co., the part which later became Amherst Co. Moses had sons, Moses Jr. (Later moved to Georgia), William (later moved to Georgia), & Thomas (whereabouts unknown). Any information on Thomas, John and the family of Moses Ray will be most welcome. Because the Buckingham County Courthouse burned in 1869, we must rely on more personal records, i.e., journals, family bibles, letters, etc.
