Good morning, Virginia. My ancestor, John Ray, came to America with 5 children from County Tyrone, near Londonderry. They lived previously in the Firth of Forth in Scotland. The Rays landed in N.J. on Aug 5, 1818. Traveling west they settled in Indiana Co. near Pike's Peak. This wilderness homestead was acquired by the state in the 1960's and is now part of Yellow Creek State Park. Their children: Matthew, 1804-1887, m. Jane McCunn (there is a picture of their son, in CW attire at the IC HGS); Jane, 1806-; Thomas J., 1811-, m. Hannah Reese, a native of Wales; James, 1813-, m.
