Bray Family :: Index to Posts

An Index Post is how I keep track of all of the blog posts that have been written on a family line.  It helps keep me organized and allows visitors to easily find information on that family. This post will be updated as new blog posts are written on the family.

Henry Bray is my 5th great-grandfather (times two). His daughter Margaret as well as his son John are my 4th great-grandparents. Margaret married James Ball and their daughter Susanna married Samuel, son of John. Yes, Susanna and Samuel were first cousins. At least it reduces the number of ancestors that need to be researched! At the time of his death, Henry's wife was named Cathryn. It is not known whether or not she was the mother of any or all of  his 11 known children.

Naomi Bray, daughter of Samuel and Susanna (Ball) Bray, married Charles Wiseman in 1849 in Switzerland County, Indiana. They were the parents of five children - their son, Samuel Bray Wiseman is my great-grandfather.
