I'm beginning to wonder if John William Ray hasn't got mixed up with another John William Ray. There is a John William Ray on FamilySearch who married Cynthia Lipencot, but whose parents are Samuel Ray and Nancy Caton. There is already a problem with this John William Ray's birth date; to line up with census data, it should be 1829, not 1833. Also, there was another child born to this family; John William has a younger sister, Elizabeth, who was born in 1833. These kind of relationship mix-ups aren't easy to detangle, but it can be done with patient research and some deductive reasoning.

The children of Reason Ray and Elizabeth Hanks are listed on this site:
