About John Ray
After the Second Stuart Rebellion of 1745 and defeat of the Highland Clans at Culloden Moor in 1746,
five Ray brothers, Archibald, Duncan, Donald, Gilbert, and John were exiled to North Carolina. Their
families were left behind and most of them came over later on. These brothers were the sons of John
and Mary Ray and grandsons of Archibald Ray, CA 1640-1710 of the Isle of Skye, he being of the 25th
generation of descent from Gille Brude, A.D. 925, a Pilot pirate who attacked Viking ships which had
ravaged the Irish Coast and Scottish Isles.
May have used the family name "Durrach" or "Darroch," but not documented. May have married a Mary Cameron, but not documented. Mother sometimes reported to be a "Sarah McDonald," but not documented.
