Biography

"According to Sander's Early Families of Alabama, Henry Shelton married first, Elnore Ray, daughter of Fergus Ray. Since the name Ray is repeated so often in the family of Elizabeth Ray Powers, it indicates that Ann, who married William Crosthwait and Jacob Powers could have been a daughter of the first marriage."[1]

Ray-241 and Rea-207 appear to represent the same person because: Same father. Rea appears to be the correct spelling. I can clean up after merge.
