He lived in the Province of Hampshire in New England which territory at that time included what is now Middletown, New Jersey. Although Richard lived in what is now New Hampshire, his son, the Reverend John Bray, moved to Middletown, New Jersey and that's how the Bray's came to Monmouth County. http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/r/a/Richard-S-Bray/index.html?Welcome=1074893254
