What area of Va did your Angelica and James Bray live . I think one needs to study the names surrounding the families to do a complete job on ones family tree for example I am interested in the Bray family as it connects to my Poe family . I have Elizabeth Bray daughter of Henry Bray , lived in the Chatham and Surry Co NC she married William Poe this is from Henrys will and census records etc . I think that this marriage took place about 1758 probably in Va as this is where William Poes family seems to have been from (Culpepper Co )So obviously the Bray family must have lived near them they had to meet somewhere . If the Bray family came from Md did they go to Va first before NC , the Bradford family also seems to be connected to the Poe family in Va and NC Patricia Caviness Perkins ----- Original Message ----- From: <galtsglutch@alltel.net> To: <BRAY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, August 01, 2004 2:38 PM Subject: [BRAY-L] Re: Origin of Bray's > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Surnames: Bray, Bradford, Whitaker, Cantey, Wiggins, Crowell > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/5gF.2ACIB/1256.1 > > Message Board Post: > > Glenn - Are your Bray's Haplotype "I"? Have just begun tracing my grandmothers MATERNAL line and have come to ANGELICA who married JAMES BRAY, 1600's VA. Is this the Henry line? Any help would be appreciated. This is the Mitochondrial line I will be dealing with: > 1. ANGELICA ? m. James Bray, VA > 2. ANGELICA BRAY m. Henry Baker, VA > 3. CATHERINE BAKER m. John Wiggins, VA>NC > 4. CATHERINE WIGGINS m. William Whitaker VA>NC>SC > 5. MARTHA WHITAKER m. James Cantey SC>GA > 6. SARAH CATHERINE CANTEY m. Henry Bradford Crowell SC>GA>AL > 7. MARY EMMA CROWELL m. James A. Whitaker FL>GA>AL > 8. MARTHA ELIZABETH WHITAKER m. Robert Fort Bradford FL>AL > 9. ELIZABETH FORT BRADFORD m. Frank Jeter Bickerstaff > website: www.bradfordgenealogy.org Not all info is up yet but interesting that this Bradford line is haplotype "I". You Bray's should jump on this Genetic Genealogy wagon, combining it with your traditional paper research and have a grand ride! Any help with the ancestors of Angelica/James Bray would be greatly appreciated. (By the way all direct female descendants of Angelica will have the same mtDNA signature, just hard to track through so many different surnames over 250+ years, descendants will number in the thousands.)
