To all you North Carolina Ray (Rhea) and Baker's, please assist with the following if you can. thks,

I am looking for information on the two people listed below. Who are their parents? I believe all this information to be of the same couple however if not true, please, your comments.

Samuel Rhea - Ray b: abt 1825 in NC,
md: Ashe Cty, NC (bond 31 March 1847 - Witness, Jno Ray) to
Mary Baker b: abt. 1827 in NC

1) 1847 md: Ashe Cty (bond 31 March 1847)
2) 1850 census - Yancey Cty, NC (Samuel Ray age 23 and Mary Ray age 25)
3) 1860 census - Village of Jefferson, Ashe Cty. (Samuel Rhea, blacksmith, age 36 and Mary Ray, seamstress, age 35)
4) 1870 census - Speedwell, Wythe Cty. (Samuel Ray, blacksmith, age 45 and Mary Ray age 44)
5) 1880 census - Nothing.

It appears Samual Ray was a Blacksmith serving in two different Ashe County civil war units.
Co A, 26th NC Inf, and then transferred to Co. A of the 1st NC cavalry. He was a blacksmith in the Cav.

I believe all the information above is of the same two people. Any feed back either positive or negative would be welcome. I believe Samuel and Mary to be my 3x great grand parents and my only two lines I cannot take into the 1700's.

Thank you all for your time in this matter,
Dave Wright
