I have finally figured out the Bray family that was associated probably related to my Poe family it is the family of Henry Bray that married Sarah Yokley . my reasoning is that Henry Bray Jr acted as administrator along with widow Susannah when William Poe died, circa 1799 they having qualified having posted bond with Henry Bray Sr (who is the son of old Henry who died circa 1790) Henry Jr was actually Henry lll He was the son of Henry that married Sarah Yokely ) . they are the only ones that fit as the Henry Sr and Henry Jr for that time period . The tax district (Smiths district for Chatham co for 1815) contains many of the sons of Henry and Sarah this is the same district that Susannah would live in based on the folks near her on the 1800 census and also there were several of these same Brays that show up as buyers of the estat e sale for William Poe . I know that about 1826 the John w Poe that I believe is the son of William and Susannah also maintained a connection to this family as he signed a deed wher Harry and Isaac Bray sold land belonging to the Paschal family also connected to this Bray family because Nancy Bray daughter of James Bray (who was another son of Henry and Sarah) Nancy married a Paschal . I still do not know how William Poe that died in 1798 or 1799 who left widow Susannah connects to this Bray family but he definately connects to this particular family I believe he is the son of William Poe and Elizabeth Bray Who I believe migrated to Surry in the late 1799 . any one connected to this bran! ch of the Brays who might have information please contact me Patricia Caviness Perkins
