Many researchers list William Martin Bray as the son of my third great grandparents Edward Payne Bray and Anna F. Messamore.  Edward Payne Bray and Anna F. Messamore did have a son named William M. Bray who was born about 1844, but I have confirmed that this William M. Bray was a different one.  I have found the death certificate for William Martin Bray which says that he was the son of John Bray and Manerva Ann Walker.

William's first wife was Harriet Frances Fuller.
