In Reply to: Re: John RAY of Haywood Co., North Carolina - 1850 Census by Raymond Ray of 12548

Raymond -

The History of Fines Creek, by Lucy Ferguson, places your John RAY on Panther Creek, Haywood Co., NC., in the 18th Century.

The date, of John RAY's North Carolina Grant, is important for your genealogical purposes, but right now I cannot furnish same.


CENSUS RECORDS For John RAY - Continued:

Haywood Co., NC., was formed in 1808 from the western part of Buncombe County, North Carolina.

The 1800 Buncombe Co., NC., Census shows:

RAY, Robert, Thomas & Thomas, Jr.,

The 1810 Buncombe Co., NC., Census shows:

RAY - James, Joseph, Robert, Thomas & Thomas, Jr.,

And Shown Next To Each Other Are:

Hiram RAY - 2 0 1 1 0 - Females 0 0 1 0 0

John RAY - 2 0 0 1 0 - Females 1 0 0 1 0

Again - The 1820 Federal Census Haywood Co., NC Shows:

John RAY - 2 1 1 0 0 1 - Females 1 1 0 0 1

ITEM: The 1810 and 1820 North Carolina Census Records show a match for:

John RAY, of Panther Creek, Haywood Co., North Carolina.


NOTES:

#1. I was unable to find an Hananiah RAY in the 1850 Haywood Co., NC., Census Records. There is a:

Hesaciah SEAY - Age 70 - b VA

#2. Your William M. RAY is shown in the 1850 Haywood Co., NC., Census:

Dwelling #218

William M. RAY - Age 26 - b NC
J. E. RAY - Age 19 - b NC
S. J. RAY - Age 2

It is wonderful when our ancestors come into an area early and stay. Your John RAY and His Family can be traced
in the Fines Creek Township, Haywood Co., NC., for "Over Half Of A Century". Remarkable!!!

For Now,

Lois
