Jerry, From the information I have seen over the past 10 years or so, your explanation of the Edwards, et al, is accurate. Thanks for the clarification.

I don't profess to have the answer to your question. I would only point out that some researchers believe that Edward Bray husband of Sarah Maynard was the son of Edward Bray (let's call the elder Edward by the name Edward Sr. just for the sake of the argument). Edward Sr. is then believed to have been the brother of Henry Bray who married Mary Wilson. I have not researched this issue enough personally to have an informed opinion. But the "two Edwards" model does resolve a lot of date problems. Well, the model should really be a "three Edward" model. There should be an Edward son of Henry Bray and Mary Wilson, an Edward Sr. brother of Henry and brother-in-law of Mary Wilson, and an Edward son of Edward Sr. It would then have been Edward son of Edward Sr. having been the one who married Sarah Maynard.
