BRAY Family Bible (BENJAMIN F. BRAY 1846-1925)
This is a transcription from the family bible of Benjamin Franklin Bray and Mary Elizabeth Jarvis Bray. B. F. Bray was born in 1846, grew up in Camden County, later became sheriff of Perquimans County (around 1902), and died there in 1925.
The transcription was made by Dr. Samuel Skinner Britt, Jr., Baton Rouge, LA. He had possession of the bible. He died in 2006. He sent this information to his cousin, Mary Elizabeth Bray Peele. The note and two transcription pages are in the possession of Kevin M. Crofton (crofton@coastalnet.com). The location of the bible is currently unknown.
Note from Sam Britt
“This is copied as written in the Bible. Note the differences in spelling the same name. In the case of Uncle Billy I think it should be Wm. J rather than W M J. I wish whomever wrote it had used names and not initials
I do not have any idea who the Gairett or Gariett is. I suspect that FITCHNE should be FITCHER. If you know what any of the initial are for let me know.”
