Joseph had at least two daughters: Ann and Emily. Need proof that
this Joseph WRAY is the same person who married Elizabeth MOORE in
Wilson County, about 1819, and is the same person who had at least
two other children: Martha Ann and Willis Henderson WRAY. Is he the

Hello,
I am Dr. Richard Cantrell and I was raised in Albany, Georgia. I was born in
1954 and my father was James Howard Cantrell. He was born in March 1915 or
1916, probably in Tennessee, his father was Marion CANTRELL. He supposedly was
married to a Cherokee Indian, last name FRYE or FRY. As both grandparents passed
on prior to my birth and my father spoke little of them except of his Indian
heritage, I have little to go on. I know that my Grandparents were married in
Tennessee probably at the turn of the century give or take ten years but I
don't know the county or anything like that and
I know that the Cantrell's came to Tennessee from Georgia or South Carolina.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
