Hi Shirley,
I'm just dabbling in geneology.I'm surprised I haven't run across any of the Pennsylvania relatives in my Internet searches.
Our Pennsylvania relatives have related a couple of interesting events in the Braymer history.One of the Braymers took his family west during the California goldrush.However, they only got as far as Ohio.The husband drowned in a swollen river, and the widow decided to stay in Ohio.I think my great-grandparents were from Ohio. So, these people may have been my great-great-great grandparents.
There was also supposedly a Braymer who was a gambler.He would board a ship bound for California on the East Coast and play cards all the way.This was before the Panama Canal, when ships had to go around the tip of South America.Evidently, he was quite good.He bought some land and built a monument to himself...I think in New York.Our Penn. relatives visited the monument.Does any of this sound familiar?
Here are a few tidbits I've discovered on the Internet so far (mostly on ancestry.com):
