  Noted events in his life were:

• connection. Chris Wright is linked to the Bray line but there is a discrepancy in that for John Bray (1757) she has listed two John Bray sons one born in 1784 & the other in 1786. Her Bray line comes from the 1784 on. She was to get back to me on sorting this out but it hasn't happened.
