Here is a bit of Bray family trivia which might be of interest to some Bray researchers. In the Advent 1997 issue of The Anglican Digest, on page 21 is an article titled "The Story of S.P.C.K.- 300 Years" it details the formation of a group originally called Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, on 8 March 1698 in Lincoln's Inn, London, England. The inspirer of the group was a priest in the Church of England named Thomas Bray. The main objective of the group was to promote religion and learning in the plantations abroad and to propagate Christian knowledge at home. But after a visit to Maryland, Bray modified his original intention and obtained instead, in 1701, a Royal Charter establishing the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts (S.P.G.) which would send out missionaries to the American colonies. Whether this Thomas Bray had any descendants, I don't know. Perhaps some of you do know. Emma Gene Gentry
