Sure, if you wouldn't mind doing that, I'd be happy to have more on Daniel Bray. I didn't know that he was in the Battle at Monmouth--I recently learned that the farm where the battle took place was the residence of a Bowne family and Mr. Bowne was a son of Daniel Bray's Grandmother Anne Seabrook Bowne Bray by her first marriage. Mrs. Bowne and (as I recall) seven children hid out in the woods for two days during the battle and came home to find the farmstead in ruins but her husband was unhurt. ----- Original Message ----- From: "john newman" <johnfnewman@yahoo.com> To: <NJHUNTER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, June 23, 2005 5:06 PM Subject: [NJHUNTER] Daniel Bray > The Sons of the Revolution celebrated Daniel Bray two years ago at the Holcombe-Jimison Farmstead where he was inducted into the H.J.
