Clare- If your ancestors were in Chatham Co., NC, chances are better than good they were descendants of (one of the) Henry BRAYs. I have a friend's database, and while it is not my line, I have checked it for any possible "clues" to mine. He shows Jeremiah S.(b.Nov. 7, 1812) married to Elizabeth Whitehead as the s/o Eli BRAY, b. 1778 Chatham Co., and Mary COX, Eli being the s/o Henry,b. 1742 Charles City Co., MD and Sarah YORKLEY/YOKLEY? (Another reference I have,THE BRAYS OF FISHER RIVER by Edna Bray Reese, lists Eli as married to Mary HADLEY, and calls Sarah YOKLEY.but doesn't follow up on Eli's line.) There seems to be quite a bit of documentation on Henry and descendants researching. (WHERE ARE YOU ALL NOW???) As with any "clues", it would be best to verify and document for yourself, but thought this might be a point in the right direction. Good luck. Nancy Bray Cooper
