Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mustard" data-source="post: 381362" data-attributes="member: 46">Margaret was married to Amos by the time that Ray was born in 1945. Jock might not have known about Margaret having a child until much later, perhaps as late as 1960, around the time when Ray arrived at Southfork. And he was Ray Krebbs, with Margaret's one-time husband being Amos Krebbs.Perhaps Jock might have felt the possibility of it, but why voice it out loud in those days? He was married to Miss Ellie, with J.R., Gary and Bobby as their children, and Jock has no idea how Ray would take it even if he did raise it. However, Jock did look a bit shocked when Amos told him, so if he did ever suspect, then he must have buried it pretty deep inside himself.Doesn't matter for Margaret, perhaps, but what about for Ray? Even in 1982 or so (some 22 years later), when Ray goes back to Emporia, Kansas, with his wife Donna, to see his Aunt Lil (and his cousin Mickey), Ray is a bit nervous about it getting out in Emporia that Jock Ewing is his father.Of course, in the last 2-3 decades, nobody would really care much about this sort of thing, but it was a bit different before that.</blockquote>
