A Wilson Family Tree

Notes for James W. Mooney (Ray)



He was born James Mooney, but was adopted by his mother’s second husband and went by James Ray most of his life. The 1930 census (Columbia Co., OR) lists James W. and Grace Ray with children Shirley L. and James F. Ray. The 1940 census (Multnomah Co., OR) lists Pearl Ray, divorced, with grandchildren Shirley L., James F., Robert J., Elizabeth J., and Marilyn Ray. The ages and birth places of Shirley and James fit with those in the 1930 census, so I'm guessing that Robert, Elizabeth, and Marilyn are also children of James W. and Grace Ray. They apparently moved back and forth between Oregon and Washington several times.
