Notes - This name is also spelled Rea, Rhea and Ree. It was pronounced Ray. It might come from the Scotts names of McRay, McRea, McCrea, McCree or Machree. Nicholas was a British tenant on Lord Viscount Grandison's Plantation in Armagh, IRL.e are two Nicholas Wray's listed in 1630/31 as working the lands of Lord Grandison, both owning a Snaphance, a firelock handgun. The second Nicholas might be an error of duplication or two generations of Nicholas. The error is suspected because these Englishmen working the land were in the army and usually rather young of age.
In the 1641 Irish rebellion, the St. Johns who oversaw the plantation were killed, their church and castle taken and Tanderagee destroyed. Nicholas might have died in the1641 Irish Rebellion. His only known child was Ann Ree. (C-956)
