John LeQuear's Book Traditions of Hunterdon has an account of how Daniel Bray would tell where he conficated the boats from (some from Loyalist sympathizers along the river), in that little flotilla. Daniel's Uncle Andrew (my ancestor) fought in the Battle of Trenton with a son and a grandson ; all three came through it intact. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Sherman" <dasherman@comcast.net> To: <NJHUNTER-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 10:13 PM Subject: Re: [NJHUNTER] Duckworth/Bellesfelt > Found it interesting that Daniel Bray was in charge of assembling boats for > Geo.

The Sons of the Revolution celebrated Daniel Bray two years ago at the Holcombe-Jimison Farmstead where he was inducted into the H.J. "Farmers Hall of Fame." A S.R. chapter is also named after him. http://www.srnj.org/DanielBray.htm If anyone is interested, I can re-copy the items about Daniel Bray from our newsletter. mcalaman <mcalaman@penn.com> wrote: John LeQuear's Book Traditions of Hunterdon has an account of how Daniel Bray would tell where he conficated the boats from (some from Loyalist sympathizers along the river), in that little flotilla.
