I need help in identifying Squire BRAY, age 14, born AL, according to the 1850 census of Williamson Co., IL. He is living in the household of John MARSHALL, age 36, farmer, born SC and his wife, Nancy BRAY, age 36, born KY. Other children in the household are surnamed MARSHALL: Elizabeth E. 16, Permelia W. 14, Sarah J. 11, Rebecca 9, Marion 7 and Merrill 7 (evidently these 2 male children were twins), Isaac N. 5, and John 7 months. Also in the household was a 50 year old Elizaabeth BRAY, born KY. I assume that Elizabeth was the widowed mother of Nancy BRAY. If so, who was Elizabeth's husband? Who is Squire BRAY? Was he a grandchild of Elizabeth? Or, could he have been a child of Elizabeth? Obviously the MARSHALL family had been living in AL for some years because their oldest 6 children show AL birthplaces. Only the 2 youngest children show IL birthplaces. But where were they in AL? They should have been there somewhere in 1840, but exhaustive research has failed to find them. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Emma Gene Gentry Emma Gene (Seale) Gentry {[email protected]} Austin, Texas
