Bray born around 1840 and wife Margery born 1840 in Va as well, My father has alwasys told stories of his family coming from Ireland and settling in Va but without further data I don't know where else to search, Grandfather Charles H. Bray born 1876 in or around Fredericksburg then most of the Brays, his children moved to WDC or MD, Seat Pleasant. Charles died in 1936 but I haven't found the cemetery yet. Any of these Brays in your data?
