I know very little about the Ray family, but I do have a connection to them as the daughter of General James Ray (Martha) was married to my great grandfather Dr. Granville C. Alfred (this name is also spelled Alford by most of the rest of that family) Martha Ray was his first wife, and my great grandmothe, Lucy Jane Trent was his second wife. I am sure that you could get a lot of information about General Ray from the Harrodsburg Historical Society. Martha Ray and Granville Alfred are both buried in the Grapevine Christain Church Cemetery near Duncan in Mercer County, Kentucky.
