Bray Family
A William Poe
in Chatham County was married to Elizabeth Bray, daughter of Henry Bray.
It appears that William Poe who married Elizabeth Bray is part of a group that
migrated to the Siler City, NC area from Culpeper County, VA and is probably
more closely aligned with the family of William Poe and wife Lydia who left
Caroline County for Culpeper County in 1737.

Henry Bray
b1738 (1720-1738 ?) is my gt gt
gt grandfather.
He signed the
Patriots Oath in Wash.Co.,Md
was drafted in
the Rev War but served a very short time; discharged as unfit for duty.
He died abt 1798 in Nelson Co., KY.
John Bray b1761
m2 Elizabeth ? Coonies from the Patriot Index, DAR,
is his son & my gt gt
grandfather.
For more then 32 years, I have tried to discover how the early
Bray's in VA & MD could poss. fit together.
A lot of
circumstantial evidence but nothing solid.
The Henry Bray
Quaker line who left the Northern Neck of VA for NC, then later to IN,
were supposedly closely related to my Bray's from correspondence with former
Congressman Bray of Indiana.

That elusive

I enjoy reading

This is what I
have in my database for Mathias D. Bray: b. 1817, Chatham Co., NC d. 18 Sept
1863, Richmond, VA
Spouse: Mary
"Polly" 8 Aug 1839
Children: Sarah
Ann Bray. This Mathias is listed as the son of Harmon Bray. Trouble is: lots of
Mathias's and lots of Henrys.

John, I've been
trying to trace these NC Brays down since about 1978, and have yet to prove who
the parents of
James Bray, b.
1798, Chatham Co., N.C., m. Sarah Edwards, ca. 1824, were.
Their oldest
child, Samuel, b. Nov., 1824, was my great grandfather,
and
unfortunately, none of his descendants thought to ask him who his grandparents
were! He was about 10 years old when he, his parents, and his 4 brothers
migrated, about 1834, to Indiana.
From there,
other children were born, and some of them went with their parents, James and
Sarah, to Missouri. Again, some of the "children," including Samuel
and his children, remained there in DeKalb Co., and the parents and younger
children went on to Labette Co., Ks., where James and Sarah lived until the
1880's. Have managed to tie most of the children together, and the
grandchildren, etc., down to my own line.
But I still
cannot prove my James' parentage, though I think James Sr. and Anne Welch were
his parents. There were other Brays of about the same age, who lived in Chatham and Randolph Co. in the late 1790's to mid-1850's, who were not named in the wills of the brothers of James
Sr.; William, Henry, John, Mathias, Solomon (who deserted his family about 1817
and went to TN), Edward who is
believed to have died single with no issue, Eli, and Jesse, and the
logical conclusion is that they were James Sr.'s children as well, though proof
seems not to exist.
James Sr.'s
& Anne's son, Henry, md. Isabel Edwards on a
marriage bond that named him as "son of James," and Richard Bray
Paschal, son of James' and Anne's daughter, Nancy, inherited his entire estate.
Those are the
only children who can be proven as James' and Anne's children. The 1820 census,
however, shows they had a very large family, so the other Brays of records,
later census "heads of household," etc. - Isaac, Matthew, Eli,
Elijah, Elisha, James, etc., not listed in those other Bray wills could very
well have been James' & Anne's children.

There was a
Henry Bray in early North Carolina days who married a Nancy Wilson...Found in
LDS Library Files. There is another Henry Bray in early Virginia who had a
batch of children and they all left for the wild west...Indiana and Ohio.

Benjamin Poe b. 1749 Culpeper County VA states in a Rev.
War Pension claim (see below) that he lived in Wake County, but
moved to Randolph County, NC in 1789. It appears his son Benjamin
remained in Wake County if this is accurate. The claim also
states that he lived in Chatham County, NC when he entered
service in 1775. In a 1771 Chatham County Muster roll for
the Siler City area of Chatham County, Benjamin Poe
is listed. **
These records from Orange / Culpeper County, VA may
be this William and John. The association with William Watson and Battle Run
make it appear that they are sons of William Poe who appeared in VA
records in 1725, just after the death of Samuel Poe in 1725
in Essex County. Benjamin is likely another brother or a JR son of
the Benjamin Poe who appeared in the records about the same time of the
elder William Poe. |

she is his daughter. If the Surry Co, NC Henry Poe is Willam and Elizabeths

Note
that Henry Poe was a Revolutionary War Soldier who claims birth in 1758
in Culpeper County, North Carolina. If this Henry is son of William
Poe and Elizabeth Bray (daughter of Henry) then the marriage pushes back to
at least 1758. Records so far do not place a Bray family in Culpeper that
early. But the Culpeper family seemed to retain ties south into counties were
Poe and Bray were located. |
