Benjamin Braley ²¹¹

  General Notes:

Richard Braley notes:
Savory Collins Braley was born on Feb 23, 1844. He was the eighth of 11 children born to Benjamin and Mercy Westgate. The eleven were: Laura, Nathaniel, William (lived 5 weeks), Mary Ann, Sarah Jane, Maria, Serena, Savory C, Henry, Emma A, and Benjamin. This was according to the genealogy. The 1850 census, done on August 28 of that year, does not show Emma but does show Susan. The 1860 census of Acushnet shows Emma but not Susan. This apparent confusion could have been a census taker issue.

Benjamin married Mercy Westgate. (Mercy Westgate was born circa 1810.)
