Ray-2158 and Ray-6088 appear to represent the same person because: Please contact me if you feel this merge should be rejected. Please note that William Justice Ray is shown as his own half brother. This entry should also removed along Elizabeth Algona Forrest.

Ray-3258 and Ray-2158 appear to represent the same person because: Based on my family tree development, these are the same person. Also his wife Elizabeth may also need to be merged. I believe many of the siblings listed with Richard may be incorrect. i will try to update after the two are merged, or if the merge is rejected I will update William Justice - Ray-2158
