Message Board Post:
Karen,
Thank you for your answer to my posting – it is exactly what I wished for. I have been
researching Thomas James Ray for the last 2 and a half years and I thought I had him all
wrapped up with a big bow tie until someone sent me information on this James and Abigail.
Sort of looks like I get to start all over again. It seems there is an extremely good
chance that the "Thomas – son, age 11, born in Missouri" is my Thomas James Ray.
Now if I could just get in touch with the lady who sent the clue I would be happy. My
next question is might you know how I can find out were they were in 1900? Thomas was in
Lehigh, Coal County, OK in 1892 getting married, but the census records for 1890 have as
you know been destroyed.
Again," Thank you."
