David -

I forgot to mention. I will send the photos to you once I talk to Aunt Gayle, who is still living. Ill see what I have too. She has a picture of Victor in his dress military uniform. Victor and Howard were both born in Richmond. They never lived in Mt Airy. The family moved here after Ralph, my grandfather, was born. Great Grandfather Robert Marion Monroe Wray was buried at Riverview Cemetery originally but was moved to south Richmond, Maury Cemetery later. My grandfather Ralph had him moved. I have a picture of Ralph at the graveside of hs father in 1925 at Riverview. He was 15. My dad and the others that lived here are there too.The bulk of them lived in south Richmond and their descendants still do. I am the odd ball. :)

Hope to hear back soon and will get those photos to you as soon as possible.

Hi, David,

Sorry to report no progress on your Robert so far, however, I do have one thing to tell you. Going back over your information, I did recognize a name. Robert was married to Nancy Byars, daughter of M.C. Byars. My husband's grandmother on his mother's side was Mayrobie Byars, daughter of Mack Byars from Blacksburg, the same M.C. Byars- real name is Malcom Camp Byars, but was called Mack Byars. We have a copy of his death certificate. Mack Byars had a second wife, but I can't recall her name right off, but will as soon as I find my records on them. I think we have a picture with him in a group of relatives. He is buried in Mountain View Cem. in Blacksburg. Oh, by the way, Blacksburg is in Cherokee County, not York County. I am still working on your Robert and I still think your Robert and our Robert Eli are cousins. I hope to be able to get in touch with a couple of people over the weekend that may shed some light on this for us. Sorry I don't have more infromation, but I will be back in touch soon.
