Husband's Notes...
--------------------------------------------------
Notes:
James was one of 3 children who travelled by horseback from Wayne County, Tennessee to the Jackson Purchase with his parents and other family members. He was a cabinetmaker and farmer by trade. And I believe that he served in the 154th TN Senior Infantry CSA during the Civil War.
Wife's Notes...
--------------------------------------------------
Notes:
I have no idea who Lucinda's parents are. I have a copy of the marriage entry for James and Lucinda who were married in Henry County, Tennessee. I have read that it was a popular place for young people to elope to and also many camped in the Henry County area during large religious revivals at the time.
**Rosa Crawford had a daughter named Nannie Smith who wrote a book on genealogy. Does anyone have a copy of Nannie Smith's Book of Ancestory and Genealogy????????
I do not know any other information about James Buchanan Ray's brothers and sisters. But would like to know.
James Carroll RAY and Lucinda Attilla WADE were married 2-2-1842 in Henry County, Tennessee. I do not know the Henry County, Tennessee connection but on the same page of the County marriage log book was an entry for a WASHINGTON RAY. I do not know who WASHINGTON F. RAY is yet. Thus far I have no information on the WADE family. I have no idea who Lucinda's parents were.
