The RAY FAMILY CEMETERY has never been officially surveyed, but has been photographed and documented on two occasions - the first in October 1989 and again in October 1992. When first photographed this cemetery was in very poor condition. It was cleaned and cleared in 1992. The large felled trees and downed limbs had been removed. The brush and undergrowth had also been cleared and the entrance was enlarged and is accessible throughout the year.
In October 1996, there are very few of the descendents of HIX J. RAY & RUTH CASEY RAY that the cemetery is not cleaned on a regular basis. The photographs and findings concerning the Ray Family Cemetery are kept in a fire proof safe in the home of Jim K Washam, 284 Combs Road, Goldsboro, NC 27530-9144 (919) 736-0252. If anyone has additions or corrections on this cemetery they will be graciously accepted and noted so that the records of this cemetery may be as correct as humanly possible. If anyone would like additional information on the Ray Family of Calloway I Marshall County or the Ray Family Cemetery, they may write Jim at the address or call. Please include a SASE. Note: Jim is the great great grandson of Hix Jones & Ruth Casey Ray. It was their daughter, Mary Perlina, who married Isaac Washam, Esq. in 1857. Isaac and Mary's son, John Alexander Washam, who married Susan Catherine Smith in 1887. John and Susan's son, John Terry "Ted" Washam, who married in 1932 to Cluster Jo Lawrence. After Hix Jones Ray's generation, his descendants were interred in several prominent cemeteries throughout Graves, Marshall Counties in Kentucky and many were interred in cemeteries in Texas, some in Illinois and Tennessee and a few in Arkansas.
