Hi, I loked up Wm Bray in Ancestry and of course found him. There is no real info on a family in the early census years. This is what it had. William Bray 1820, NY, Steuben Co., Troupsbury township. 1 free wt male 45 or older. 1 free wt female 45 or older working in agriculture I cked 1830 and found a William Bray in NY, Yonkers township, Westchester Co. No boxes were cked so there was no info on him. I joined for 14 days and forgot to cancel and so I am stuck. let me know if i can help .

Maybe I'm just a cheapskate, but I'm wondering if I can find out more of the details of this record without paying $95 per year to Ancestry. > > My gg-grandfather had the same name, and was born in 1819 at Towanda PA.
