This is sort of an odd query. My 3XGreat Grandfather (William S. Oder, Wagonmaker) was visiting Lawrence County, specifically Coal Grove, on business in 1852.

I am actively seeking the parents of Thomas Wray b.15 Dec 1776, Gallia Co., Ohio; d. 17 Oct 1843, Gallia Co., Ohio. Thomas married Rachel Neal on 26 Sep 1802 in Monroe Co., WV. They moved to the Gallia/Lawrence Co., Ohio area approximately 1820. Thomas had at least one proven brother, John Wray b.ca. 1775, Virginia and d. 1862 in Christian Co., MO. John married Sarah McGlammery in 1799 in Greenbrier (later became Monroe Co.) Co., WV. John moved to Lawrence Co., Ohio about 1815, later to Vermillion Co., IL about 1829 then to Missouri about 1832. In 1834 he married Nany (Kyle) Rapp (widow of Daniel Rapp) in Greene Co., MO. Thomas may have had another brother named Edmond or Edward. Possibility of more siblings. We have a oteamoe of experienced researchers that has gathered a great deal of data on this family and others with the surname Wray - often spelled Ray - and sometimes Wrey, Rae, Rea & Reah. We have seen the name spelled differently within the same document. There is strong evidence that Thomas & John were originally from Buckingham/Amherst counties in Virginia. Of particular interest is Moses Ray who left a will in 1766, Amherst Co., Virginia. His property was originally purchased in Albemarle Co., the part which later became Amherst Co. Moses had sons, Moses Jr. (Later moved to Georgia), William (later moved to Georgia), & Thomas (whereabouts unknown). Any information on Thomas, John and the family of Moses Ray will be most welcome. Because the Buckingham County Courthouse burned in 1869, we must rely on more personal records, i.e., journals, family bibles, letters, etc. Please contact me, Loraine Kerns, via e-mail at kernsk-2@idt.net. Thank you!.Vicki L. Tavares

I am researching the Compliman/Compliment family from Lawrence County. The first Compliman that I can find is Henry Compliman who was born in Germany around 1800. His wife Mary Rosenard (b. 1806) was born in Germany as well. His son Benjamin is listed in the 1870 as Compliman and in the 1900 census as Compliment. To date, I have not found a record of an official name change for this family. If anyone has any information as to where in Germany this family came from and when the name change took place, I would appreciate hearing from you. .Jerry Harrison
