Benjamin Ray

Benjamin Ray (born 1819 Hudson, Columbia County, New York) was an American politician from New York.

Life

He was the son of Capt. Samuel Ray. He began work as a boater on the Hudson River. In 1835, he went to New York City, learned the trade of a blacksmith, and worked for a boiler and boat building company. In 1849, he went to California.

In 1853, he returned to New York City, and was a member of the New York State Assembly (New York Co., 2nd D.) in 1856. Some time later he returned to Hudson.

He was again a member of the State Assembly (Columbia Co., 1st D.) in 1871, 1872 and 1873; and was a member of the New York State Senate (11th D.) in 1874 and 1875.
