General Notes (Husband)
Dr. James Allen Ray, at the age of 13, carried food to the Union
Soldiers. The Rebels learned of it and gave chase. He and another lad,
carrying guns escaped at night, hiding in the wood by day, and traveling
at night. When the Rebels had trailed and almost caught them, the boy's
had to drop their guns in order to slip quietly through the weeds and
brush. The boy's did reach the Union lines safely, and enlisted, in Co.
A, N.C. Infantry under Gen. Burnside.
By Carl Martin 'Ozzie' Ray.
The Migration to Oregon of Dr. James A. Ray As Told By Luella Ray Mills.
In May 1866, Dr. James A. Ray with wife and six children left North
Carolina for Oregon. There were four families in the migration. My
father furnished and equipped a covered wagon for a cousin, David
McMahan, his wife and six children, namely; Perry, Cambell, Sissy,
Brandon, Willy, and Tommy. Also another cousin Ervin Ray was furnished
with a team of mules and a covered wagon. Both of these families drove
on to Knoxville, Tenn. ahead of us, and were camped near the city limits
when we arrived. The other family, Jim McKinney, wife, and several
children, planned to go all the way to Portland, Oregon by train. Papa
was to confer with them all, so that is why we met in the depot at
Knoxville. Then came the tragedy. Little Bobby was on the bench near a
roll of bedding. Mr. McZKinney moved his gun back and forth in a roll of
bedding and it fired, hitting Bobbie through the hips. I was close by
and saw him throw up his hands and jump from the seat. The room was soon
covered with his blood. I can see it all as if it happened yesterday.
The police came but papa explained it was an accident. Bobbie was taken
to the hospital and was under the care of a doctor, seeming to be doing
well. Papa stayed in Knoxville with him, but to save expense we went
west. Ervin Ray decided not to go further west, and so it was arranged
for mama and us to travel with the McMahan's, so we did as far as Kansas
City. Little Bobbie did of blood-poisoning. Papa buried him, then
came on to us near the crossing of the Ohio River. We were in Kansas
City July 4, 1886, we left the wagons there and came on to Portland on
the Union Pacific Train. We stayed a few days in Portlnd with our
cousins the Coats Family. Then rented a small house, in walking distance
of the school, for one month while Papa looked for a homestead. On
October 12, he filed on Oak Ranch Homestead. Then we boarded a boat for
St. Helens. The boat had only one Stateroom for all of us. We were on
the floor and on hooks, I think. We left St. Helens with one horse and
a cart. We spent one night four miles out with 20 miles yet to go, with
mama driving we took turns riding. When we reached the Hazlet place I
was too tired to eat. But the next day on to Oak Ranch, our future home.
It was October, 1886. from: 'The Migration to Oregon of Dr. James A. Ray'
