Henry Bray was the son of John Henry Bray and Hannah Shelton.  Henry was the nephew of Edward L. Bray who was living nearby in dwelling number 101.  The best way to describe Henry's relationship to my line is to note that he was the second cousin of my second great grandfather Joseph A. Bray.

Henry's wife was Betsy Jane Mills, and I do not know who her parents were.
