Although the exact location of the burials of John and Cazza Biggerstaff Ray are not known, it is most likely that they are both buried in Old Brush Harbor Cemetery. The land for OBHC (also known as Ray Cemetery) was donated by their son Arden William Ray, and John and Cazza were both charter members (Aug 26, 1871) of the Union Church of General Baptist (later known as Brush Harbor Church).

Cassandra "Cassa" or "Cazza" Biggerstaff and John Ray were united in marriage on Dec 31, 1829 in Hamilton County.

John's death date is unknown, but is sometime after mid 1900, since he was enumerated on the 1900 census in Hamilton County. He was 90 years old at the time, and gave his marital status as widowed. He was living with his son and daughter-in-law, Wesley and Charlottie Ray at the time of the census.
