MORRIS, PRYOR, RAY, RHEA, THOMPSON, WRAY -
I am looking for any information concerning Ezekiel RHEA/WRAY or RAY who was in Botetourt Co., VA., in 1788. He received a land grant of 136 acres on the Rush Fork the waters of the west fork of Little River. By 1797, he seems to have been in Warren Co., KY. He died about 1811 in White Co., TN. I have been told that his wife was Elizabeth PRYOR, daughter of Richard PRYOR and Mourning THOMPSON, but have no proof of this. I also think that he is son of Moses RHEA/WRAY/RAY who left his will in Franklin Co., VA., dated 9 Apr 1802. Can anyone verify this? Ezekiel's mother must have been Elizabeth MORRIS, daughter of Daniel and Tabitha MORRIS. Tabitha MORRIS leaves her will in Bedford Co., VA., and mentions daughter, Betty RAY. I would also like to know if Ezekiel's grandfather is the Moses RAY/WRAY/RHEA who left his will in Amherst Co., VA., dated 22 May 1766 and mentions a son, Moses RAY.
