HUDGENS, MARTIN, RAY posted by Ronald Goodwin on Monday, February 19, 2001

I am very new to this, so please forgive any mistakes. I am trying to find out info about my grandfather and grandmothers family, etc. He was born Anderson Ray, changed it to Ance Ray, ran a grocery in Camden, MO. He married Mattie Eva HUDGENS sometime around 1890-1900. My grandmother had a brother Hukell Hudgens, and my grandfather had brothers and sisters, but I do not have their names. There may also be VANDERPOOLS in the family, but I do not know the connection. The family owned land in the river bottoms near Orrick, but that is also in dispute as the owner of the property may have been killed in the border disputes prior to the ACW. Ance and Matttie had two daughters, Leona Ray and Shirley Jean Ray 20 years apart (~1900 and 1925?). Leona married James Wyatt MARTIN(~1926?)[one daughter-Rita] and Shirley Jean married Edward Lamar Goodwin (1945)[one son, Ronald]. I am that son of Shirley and Ed Goodwin, and would like to find out everything I can about my grandfather's and grandmother's families. His father's name may have been Daniel Ray. Ance and Mattie are buried outside of Orrick in a cemetery I do not even know the name of. Any help in tracking beyond Ance and Mattie would be totally appreciated. Respectfully, Ronald RAY Goodwin
