I have information on John Girden Bray and his decendents that I will be glad to share. John Girden Bray was born November 18, 1856 in Bourbonnais, Illinois, and died November 15, 1939 in Walnut, Kansas. He married Sarah Ann Allen [called Annie] on February 18, 1880, in Rockville, Illinois. They had nine children. Annie was born November 13, 1859, and died December 14,28,or 31, 1927 in Walnut, Kansas. I am looking for information of his parents: Dominick Bray, Jr. [also spelled Dominique - French] and his wife, Almedia [or Almida] Bailey I have a book by Vic Johnson, called "The Story of the Kankakee's Earliest Pioneer and Settlers". It is about Kankakee County Illinois and the Dominick Bray family is listed as one of the first white settlers in the area. It seems that the family came to the area in 1832 or 1836 and was active in settling the area. Any information will be appreciated and I will provide what I have. Thank You Jim Owen
