John Wesley Raby

Notes:

It appears that he could possibly a namesake son of John Wesley Raby of Hickory, NC and Kare Serena Link. This is based on the Texas Death certificate of a Mrs. L. A. Jeans, born 1868 in North Carolina and died 1931 in Runnels County, Texas, a sister?

Not listed with this family at the time of the 1880 census, however. The Herrigton Ancestors tree at RootsWeb's World connect instead showed him as the son of N. N. and Magra Raby. However on a post-em to this tree, Doris Dickerson (dickersondoris@hotmail.com) writes that "John Wesley Rabys parents are: James Calvin Raby Aug. 28, 1832-May 10, 1898 (buried Carlton Cemetery) & Marjory Jane Hart Jan. 20, 1842-Jan. 28, 1917. I recently posted the lineage on Genforum RABY NO. 412 -You are welcome to use any info."

John married Gertrude Herrington on 4 Mar 1906 in Erath County, Texas. Gertrude (daughter of King Henry Herrington and Perlina Berry Wright) was born on 30 Jan 1881 in Hamilton County, Texas; died on 16 Feb 1976 in Stephenville, Erath County, Texas; was buried in East Memorial Cemetery, Stephenville, Erath County, Texas.
