The Dent, Hague and Wray Family Home Page
Hello, I am researching the the Wray and Dent family trees.Mycousin has graciously provided the information on my mother's maternal ancestors, the Hagues.I am interested in tracing the Wray family back beyond my grandfather, Robert Marion Monroe Wray who was born in York County, South Carolina on August 4, 1869 and died in Richmond, Virginia on March 3, 1925.He had nine children, two girls and seven boys.He served in Cuba and fought in the battle of San Juan Hill with Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders.He worked in the paper mill in Richmond, Virginia.My other great grandfather, William Dent, was born in Macon, Georgia on October 12, 1838.His father, Walter Dent and his step-mother, Mary Ann Jones were married on January 13, 1841 in Putnam County, Georgia.I don't know his mother's name.He apparently didn't like his stepmother and ran away from home to join the confederate army.He served with Company C, 13th Regiment, Georgia Infantry of the army of the CSA.He lived most of his life after the war in Fluvanna County in the community of Shores, Virginia.His first wife's name was Mary Jane Dennis.His second wife's name was Martha E. (Lizzie) McLain. I know that my great grandfather was wounded at the battle of second Manassas and that he was separated from the service just before the war ended.I will gladly trade any information I have for information on the Wrays and Dents. | The Dent, Hague and Wray Family Home Page Updated January 9, 2002 |
