1870 Marshall County Census Data

I am sure I have mistakes but offer this information for what it is worth to anyone who can use it to further their family tree.  Hix Jones Ray was my great great great grandfather.  He moved to the Jackson Purchase area of Kentucky from Wayne County, Tennessee ca 1823. Hix's first wife was Ruth Casey Ray.  While her parents are not yet proved, you can see that several Ray and Casey families lived very close to each other in this census year.  James Carroll Ray and Lucinda Attilla Wade Ray  are my great great grandparents as are William H. Nance and Lucy Nance.
