    1. [BRAY-L] Edward Bray and Sarah Maynard

    3. I hope someone can help me with this genealogy , I have a couple of questions .the Edward Bray that married Sarah Maynard , from what I see and believe Edward died and was buried abt 1760 . I have also that he is the son of Henry Bray and Mary Wilson . Why does Henrys Will circa about 1790 mention son Edward if he is deceased ? Am I mixing up my Brays ? My ancestor Wm Poe died about 1800 his widow Susannah Poe was named executor along with Henry Bray Jr They having posted bond with Henry Bray Sr . I am trying to identify the exact Bray family tha t Sr and Jr belonged to if they were related to old Henry that died circa 1790-93 Later John W Poe has signed as a witness at least one Bray document dealing with a land sale of a Bray for a Pascha.l I am trying to find the connection between the families , I have not been able to identify widow Susannahs name before she married William perhaps she was a Bray also , I know that a earlier William Poe was married to old Henrys daughter Elizabeth , There is evidence that this is not the same William . possibly a son , I suspect that the William that married Elizabeth are the William and Elizabeth Poe that migrated to Surry, County NC . who had at least two children Elizabeth that married James Masters and Raliegh Poe , If any one has any insight into this family I would be very! grateful Patricia Caviness Perkins
