I’m not sure if any of these records are for your Dewey, but they appear to be close matches from the information you provided.

1910 Census
6th District, Hardin County, TN

Cinthia A. Ballard – Head, F, W, 47, W, Mother of 8 children 7 living, Born MS, Father born TN, Mother born MS, Farmer
Thomas C. Ballard – Son, M, W, 4, S, Born MS, Father born MS, Mother born MS
William R. Hill – Son, M, W, 23, S, Born MS, Father born MS, Mother born MS
Ben M. Hill – Son, M, W, 18, S, Born MS, Father born MS, Mother born MS
Harrison G. Ray – Son, M, W, 13, S, Born MS, Father born MS, Mother born MS
Dewey R. Ray – Son, W, W, 10, S, Born MS, Father born MS, Mother born MS

Are the surnames Ballard and Hill familiar? Do you know if Dewey’s mother was married several times?

According to Ancestry.com, there is a WWI Draft Registration Card for Dewey Rannel Ray from Alcorn County, Mississippi. Alcorn is a neighboring county to Tippah. I don’t subscribe to Ancestry, so I can’t pull up the details.

I don’t have access to the 1930 census from home, but Ancestry shows Dewey and Obie were enumerated in Tippah County, Mississippi that year. If you don’t subscribe to Ancestry, I can pull up the records next time I visit the library.

I also looked for Bertie Obie Richardson. The closest match I could find is below - but it's a long shot. It lists her birthplace as Arkansas, not Mississippi. Could your Bertie have been from Arkansas and later went to Mississippi where she married Dewey?

As I wrote before, this is probably a long shot:

1920 Census
Big Flat Township, Baxter County, AR

Fanny Richardson – Head, F, W, 50, W, Born AR, Father born (?), Mother born AR, Farmer
Francis M. Richardson – Son, M, W, 17, S, Born AR, Father born TN, Mother born AR
Bertie Richardson – Daughter, F, W, 13, S, Born AR, Father born TN, Mother born AR

Note: I couldn’t make out where Fanny’s father was born.

Not sure if you have any of this information, or if it relates to your family, but I do hope it helps. Good luck! :-)
