Hix Jones Ray, Brunswick County, Virginia

Will the real Hix Jones Ray please stand up?? 

Surely the Hix Jones Ray that was born in Brunswick County, VA and moved onto Wayne County, TN and later the Jackson Purchase Area of Kentucky is related to the Hix Jones Ray who stayed in Brunswick County, VA. 

The Hix that moved to the Jackson Purchase Area of KY is my great great great grandfather - I'm not sure how this second Hix fits into the branches of the family tree.

Can anyone provide additional data? This is what I have found so far:

Here is a Hicks Wray, born in 1797, and married Nellie Wright 11/27/1820. Nellie was born in 1803 and was the daughter of Elizabeth Wright, who gave permission for the marriage. Arline McGuire reports that there are a number of Ray / Wright marriages.
