Would like to hear from anyone who could help with their research on families RAY, RAZOR, DAVIS, OWEN and TAYLOR.
An added note from Mrs. BARR says, "My grandmother, Mary Jane RAZOR, often told me that she was a cousin to Jesse JAMES. but the only time she remembered seeing him was when she was a small girl, about 1895. He and his gang came to where my grandmother and her family were camped. He either buried something or dug up something and rode off.
