I am looking for anyone who might have already pulled (or be willing to assist me) in locating and synopsizing the contents of the following wills said to be available for review at the Ontario County Records and Archvies Center (http://www.raims.com/home.html):
SURROGATE COURT RECORDS, A THROUGH C, 1789 - 1926
NAME YEAR TOWN
BRAY, ANDREW 1869 CANANDAIGUA
BRAY, ANDREW 1886 RICHMOND
BRAY, ANDREW J. 1928 RICHMOND
BRAY, CORNELIUS 1858 CANANDAIGUA
BRAY, CYRUS 1918 SENECA
BRAY, JOHN 1835 BRISTOL
BRAY, MARY A. 1900 RICHMOND
BRAY, YAWGER P. 1834 RICHMOND
(See http://www.raims.com/block1.html)
My maternal genealogical line is Shirley L. Braye-Swanstrom, Morley W. Braye, Byron Allison Bray(e), Zalmon Bray, Nathaniel Bray, Cornelius Bray, and Andrew Bray, Sr., (04 Jul 1763, New Jersey; 26 Jan 1849, Ontario County, NY).
It is believed that Andrew Bray, Sr., is the son of James Bray, Sr., (1730-1797). From James Bray, Sr., there is speculation that James is the son of either John Bray, Jr., (1694-1765) or Rev. John Bray, Sr., (1661-1716). Noting the year at birth and death, it is my speculation that James Bray, Sr., is the son of John Bray, Jr., who is the son of Rev. John Bray, Sr.
Unfortunately, genealogical records in New Jersey, for this time period, are either non-existing or lacking in specifics to adequately resolve this issue.
Hence, if will research has to be limited special focus on the first two entries for Andrew Bray below would be most helpful - in particular, if it clarifies what is believed to be his New Jersey genealogy:
BRAY, ANDREW 1869 CANANDAIGUA
BRAY, ANDREW 1886 RICHMOND
I have very detailed family information on this line of the Bray genealogy (mostly, pulled from Dee Thompson's (2000, NFI) "The Brays of New York and Michigan"; portions of which are on file with the Ontario County Historical Society in Canandaigua, NY) if anyone needs more data (or has further interest).
Thank you.
