Silas Benjamin Ray (born 1884 in Winston co Al) and wife Annie Strickland Ray had children:
Elijah Friedman born 1907
Solomon born 1914
Charlie born 1917
Lucille born 1922
Silas Jr born 1926
Johnnie Eugene born 1909

A number of their children lived in the Georges Creek and Berry Alabama area of Fayette co Al. I am trying to see if any of their children are still living. I am also trying to contact any of the children of those listed. I have a lot of information about the Rays I would be glad to share. I know Silas Benjamin ray born 1884 and his son Silas Jr drowned in the Warrior River in 1949. If anyone knows any of the children or grandchildren of Silas Benjamin Ray and wife Annie Mae Strickland Ray in the Fayette co Al area please ask them to contact me at rsmith6670@msn.com I would like to have a DNA test done and I will pay for it. It must be a male son or a male grandson or male great grandson of Silas Benjamin Ray. The direct line of descendants has to be a male. Also, on the draft card of Silas Benjamin Ray in 1917 it said he was white and indian. Would anyone know if the Rays were native American and if so what kind? Thanks, Ross thank you, Ross Smith
