    • David -

      I forgot to mention. I will send the photos to you once I talk to Aunt Gayle, who is still living. Ill see what I have too. She has a picture of Victor in his dress military uniform. Victor and Howard were both born in Richmond. They never lived in Mt Airy. The family moved here after Ralph, my grandfather, was born. Great Grandfather Robert Marion Monroe Wray was buried at Riverview Cemetery originally but was moved to south Richmond, Maury Cemetery later. My grandfather Ralph had him moved. I have a picture of Ralph at the graveside of hs father in 1925 at Riverview. He was 15. My dad and the others that lived here are there too.The bulk of them lived in south Richmond and their descendants still do. I am the odd ball. :)

      Hope to hear back soon and will get those photos to you as soon as possible.

    • The information below from Michael Wray has Robert B. Wray's birth date as May 30. However the source document at the bottom (Wray 0003) is a page from the family Bible and shows his birth day as May 31. (Davuid W. Marshall, Sr., 2012)

      David ?
      I looked at some genealogy information my father was working on back in 2002 before he passed. Here is what he had:
      Wray, Clyde Mack(b. September 29, 1892, d. August 1974)
      Wray, Earl Dean(b. November 27, 1895, d. February 1966)
      Wray, Russell C.(b. July 10, 1899, d. May 5, 1978)
      Wray, Luther L.(b. November 23, 1901, d. May 19, 1955)
      Wray, Robert B.(b. May 30, 1903, d. October 17, 1904) ? Howard?s son and grandson were named Robert
      Wray, Myrtle I.(b. August 18, 1905, d. ?) ? she was alive and the only survivor when my grandfather passed in 1993 and at the funeral
      Wray, Hazel Aileen(b. March 21, 1908, d. November 29, 1986)
      Wray, Ralph George(b. January 6, 1910, d. January 3, 1993)
      Wray, Howard Monroe(b. December 2, 1913, d. August 12, 1979)
      Wray, Victor Carlin(b. April 16, 1916, d. March 23, 1985)
      The picture I have at the reunion was 1968, it has the five surviving brothers. Clyde (your grandfather), Russell, Ralph, Howard and Victor. Evidently your grandfather Clyde and Earl stayed when their parents went to Richmond around 1912 being they were grown. Russell, Luther and Ralph, being they were children, and the girls went to Richmond. As mentioned before, Howard and Victor were born in Richmond. I haven?t had a chance to scan reunion photo yet but will send when I get a chance.
      Hope this helps,
