    1. Re: [BRAY-L] RE: [BRAY-Henry Bray

    3. Here is what I have on the Bray line from NC that were at least part Quaker. Some of the information is from Edna Bray Reece's book, THE BRAYS OF FISHER RIVER (NC), which unfortunately is out of print. Henry Bray, Sr., b abt 1693, and wife, Mary Wilson, were probably born in England or possibly MD/VA. They settled in Chatham Co, NC, and died there. There were areas of Maryland that became part of Brunswick Co, VA.

Sarah Yokley, inherited the bulk of the estate of his father in Chatham Co, NC. There is no record that they were Quakers. The other son, Edward Bray and wife, Sarah Maynard, settled in Surry Co, NC. Apparently Sarah was Quaker and Edward was not at the time of their marriage, since she was condemned in VA for "marrying out of unity." Their son, Henry Bray, b 22 Aug 1755, and wife, Keziah Jones, settled in Morgan Co, IN and belonged to the White Lick Meeting. Son, Joseph and wife, Elizabeth Lindsey, may have settled in Morgan Co, IN also. Son, Richard Bray, may have gone to Monroe Co, KY. Son, Edward, and wife, Ann Dowdy, are thought to have settled in Monroe Co, KY. Son, John Bray, and wife, Jane Unknown. Possible daughter, Sarah Bray, who married Elijah Graham.

It would be my guess that these are the same bunch of CARTERs, so I would be interested in what you have on them and how they tie in.

Mary "Polly" Bray, b abt 1825 in Surry Co, NC, was the daughter of Joseph Bray and Elizabeth Lindsey. Mary married Isaac Carter, b abt 1825 in North Carolina. Their children were: Joseph Carter m.

    1. [BRAY-L] FRED BRAY

    3. I have a Fred Bray, b. 1915 Memphis, Shelby Co., TN; his siblings were b. in Woodruff and Prairie Co., AR which is very close to White Co., AR. The one thing that stood out was the name "DESSER." I have a picture of Desser AKA Desera/Desirer who had a sister known as Esera/Esirer. My Mother remembers them as cousins, but my Great-aunt Winifred called her aunt by marriage "cousin." I don't believe my Fred Duvall Bray was married to Desera/Deserir but I could be wrong. I think we are probably related. I have some information on the BRAY family, but I am stumped on my BRAY who left TN to move to Scottsboro, Jackson Co., Al. Pam
