Oral History
A granddaughter of Lucinda Ray wrote an extensive article on the Ray family which included these personal recollections passed down from Lucinda Ray:
My Grandmother, Lucinda Ray Solley would afford us much delight when she told the stories of the days of the War. She was only seven years of age then but it was a horror that never left her memory. She told of grinding acorns to make a substitute for coffee and of many other make shift substitutes that were used as food. She also told of the days at the end of the War when the South had lost, but were still vainly trying to win and of how the 'Bushwackers' or Viligantes would try to make 12 year old boys go to war and fight for the lost cause, She told of one mother who lived near the Ray family who hid her young sons out when these desperate men came around. When they came one day to search her house, they bent down to look up the chimney for the boys and the lady poured a bucket full of cold water on the hot ashes and burned the men in their faces. They never bothered her again.[13]
