I am seeking information on the descendents of Rev John Bray, whom I believe came to the U.S. from England in the late 1600's. Some descendents lived in Nj and NY. I would be very interested in corresponding with anyone who has information on him. Thanks so much! Amy Wilson

Seek information on the Brady families that settled in Houston County Minnesota c1855.

Hi Mary and Don, I have a BRAY in Screven Co. GA - just across the state to the east from Marion Co. Her name was Sarah Bray and she married William PEARCE. Do you have any Brays in Effingham or Screven Co? I don't know anything about Sarah's parents, but she was born about 1763, married William Pearce in about 1781, and died in 1801. She is listed as William Pearce's spouse in the DAR records, as he fought in the Revolutionary War. I don't have the records of his service yet, however. I'm hoping it will tell me more than I know, when I do send for them. William Pearce's father was Joshua Pearce and he married Hannah GREEN, so that name is also familiar with yours, Mary. Joshua and Hannah were originally from NC. Hannah is related to the family of Nathanial Green somehow (I believe he was an officer in the Revolutionary War). I also have LANIER, MUNSON, TANNER, and TALBOT families who married into the PEARCE line in and around Screven Co. GA. Some of them (my line of Munson and Pearce) moved to MS (Wilkinson Co.), then LA (West Feliciana and Rapides Parishes), then finally to TX. Do any of these sound familiar to you?

Seeking information regarding Horace Bray (born around 1823). He listed his place of birth as New York in the 1850 census and as Connecticut in the 1860 census. He married "Anna" (or "Emma"), a woman from Canada, probably in the late 1840's. By 1850, they were located in Revenna County, Ohio. By 1860, they lived in Huntington, Lorain County, Ohio. They had 4 children that I know of: Emily Bray (b. 1852), Alfred Francis ("Frank") (b. 1853), Hattie Bray (b. 1856), and George Bray (b.1859). Horace listed his occupation variously as "shoemaker" and "ambrotypist". Any information on Horace, his parents or children would be of great help. His son, Alfred Francis Bray, was my G-Grandfather. I have extensive information on Alfred's descendents that I can share. Byron C. Bray 3135-15th Ave., S.E. Albany, OR 97321 e-mail: [email protected]

Looking for info on James Harvey BRAY, b 15 Dec 1836 in Cornwall. migrated to America via gold fields of Australia circa 1860-1870. Homesteaded Burt County Nebraska, circa 1870. Ken Nelson [email protected]

I > believe they may have originally come from NC (but have no proof -- > just > have "heard" that the BRAYs were from there...). Mary, I am very interested in your Marion Co. connections. My ggg-grandmother Sarah Bray may have been kin of Hannah's, possibly her sister. My gg-grandfather, James Simmons , married Sarah's daughter Sarah Ann in Marion Co. May 2, 1847. They moved to Dale Co., Al. by 1860 and James' mother-in-law Sarah, was reported in the household. Her age was listed as 60 and her state of birth was SC. The daughter Sarah was born 1832 in Ga according to the same census. I have not researched this line beyond this scarce info. I am curious if there is a connection or if you may have came across any info concerning this line during your searching. Looking forward to hearing from you. Don summers [email protected]

Hi! I am researching one of the BRAY families of Marion Co., GA. I believe they may have originally come from NC (but have no proof -- just have "heard" that the BRAYs were from there...). My ancestor is Hannah Jane BRAY, b. abt. 1811 in Georgia who md. James WEBB about 1828/1829. Hannah's mother, Frances BRAY (don't know her maiden name) was living with them in the 1850 Census in Marion Co. I know for certain of one brother, James Kenyon BRAY, who md. Frances HORN(E). James and Hannah Jane (BRAY) WEBB had at least 10 children: John W., Charlotte, Eliza E., Caroline June, Martha, Ellen, Frances, Nancy Risby (my ancestor - md. Andrew Green TYLER), Poshana and Georgia Ann. I believe there may have been one older brother than John (from info. in the 1840 census). If anyone has any information on this family, or thoughts on where in NC they might be from (James Kenyon says at times that he was born in NC; and Frances, his mother was born in NC), could you please contact me? I would be more than happy to share information! Thanks! Mary Kozy <[email protected]>

Glad to see the list has included BREI. I'm interested in hearing from anyone researching this surname. I descend from Ludwig BREI who came to America in 1854, stayed "with relatives in NY" and then moved to Muscatine County IA where he married, raised a large family and was buried in the Krell Cemetery. Have information to share.
