Notes
a. Note:   William Ray (age 26) appears in the 1880 Robertson County, Texas, federal census with wife Huberta (age 28) and children Tallula (age 6) and Felix (age 4). Both William and Huberta list birthplaces as Mississippi. Roberta lists both parents being from Alabama and William lists his dad from SC and mother from MS. William's occupation is listed as farmer. I believe this is a match as nearby lives Erastus Ray, who is listed with Telula and Sam Brown in 1900. Erastus (age 20) is a neighbor of William's and lives with his mother Josephine (age 66). Both Josephine and Erastus say they were born in MS. Josephine's parents were from SC and Erastus' dad was also from SC. I don't think William's birthdate was February 19, 1812. Maybe it was his dad's? William remarried after Huberta's death but the name is unknown. There is a William Ray in Houston County, 1900 census with children Dora and Maudia and wife Josephine. The dates and birthplaces for William (age 43 with parents from GA and MS) don't quite line up so this may not be a match.. Some information about the Ray family comes from Dianna B. Hokanson.
