Biography
Penelope (Cornell) Ray was born about 1832 in South Carolina, United States.
In the 1850 census Penelope (age 18) was in Barnwell, South Carolina, United States.[1]
Penelope married Charles B. Ray (~1835 - ) around the year 1850. This date is based on the birth of Sarah Ray in 1851, and assuming she is their 1st child. Considering, they weren't married in the 1850 census, these dates are accurate within a year or so.
Their children were...
- Sarah Ray
- Rachel
- Catherine (Ray) Creech
In the 1860 census Pheobee (age 23) was in Barnwell, South Carolina.[2]
Research Notes
- I can't find a record of her death, but she may have died young of syphilis, or perhaps from a remedy for the disease. Her husband was admitted to the hospital in 1864, his diagnosis was syphilis. I imagine he transmitted the disease to her at some point.
