Hi! I couldn't find Richard Bray in either Independence or Brandon. But I don't think that's unusual. Many people bought land and then didn't move into it for twenty years. Or they rented it to someone else.

If you want the images, just let me know. I did search some of the other townships by hand and couldn't find anything (although I did find one of my missing people :-) thanks) Sorry I couldn't help more, Concetta >>> "Barbara Bizani" <bizani@comcast.net> 7/2/2004 9:22:53 AM >>> Thank you Concetta, I'm looking for Richard Bray. I know that he purchased property in Oakland in 1835. 3 tracts were in Independance Township and one in Brandon, I believe. Richard also had an unmarried son, Alpheus, age 19 at the time who would probably have been with Richard. Could you check these for me, please Barbara -----Original Message----- From: Concetta Franco [mailto:concetta.franco@BLDD.COM] Sent: Friday, July 02, 2004 6:54 AM To: MIOAKLAN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MIOAKLAN] Ancestry, HeritageQuest and Genealogy.com all have it.
