Earlene, is William's profile on WikiTree?  If so, can you tell us the WikiTree ID for it, please.  I tried to check but there are 786 matches for William Ray - too many for me to go through looking for the right one.

I found it and added to description. Took off the matches list, (not needed).

Ray-6295     I might have messed up his father which will mess up my whole line. Thanks

OK - I'm collecting sources - will add them to the profile and work on getting the other family members identified.  I'll reply here when I'm done.

Thank you so much
