When I saw the surnames Brooks and Bray I had to make a comment. :) My great grandfather was (William) Harrison Bray b. about 1873. I do not know his parents nor for sure where he was born. The 1920 census states that he was born in Georgia. On the 1880 Census, Jackson Co Georgia, there is a Thomas and Rosanna Brooks having in their household: Adaline Brooks dau Lanie Brooks dau Harrison Bray son (was he adopted???)(is this my great grandfather?) I couldn't help but wonder if the Brooks and Brays were somehow connected either by marriages or just friends. Wish I had an answer about your Margaret Brooks and this Annie Bray. You never know about connections and especially if my great grandad was really the Harrison Bray listed above. I am awaiting a death certificate on my great grandfather and hopefully it will name his parents. Will let you all know if his father is a James C Bray of North Carolina. :) Donna ----- Original Message ----- From: <sidneyandgary@hotmail.com> To: <BRAY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 23, 2003 1:15 PM Subject: [BRAY-L] Annie Bray - Chatham NC > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Classification: Query > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5gF.2ACIB/1192 > > Message Board Post: > > Seeking information on Annie Bray, born in Chatham, NC 1879.
