1930 Census, Monroe County, Tennessee

Charles Lee (Charlie) Bray age 38 was the son of William George Washington Green and my great grandmother Mary Mahala Jane (Mahala or Haley) Bray.  As such, Uncle Charlie was the half-brother of my grandmother Lola Ethel Williamson.

Haley and William Green were divorced on 9 Jan 1896.  The divorce decree did not mention the restoration of Haley's maiden name, and Uncle Charlie was enumerated in the 1900 census as Charles Green.  But the record of Haley's marrriage to John William Williamson in 1898 listed her name as Jane Bray.  Uncle Charlie used the Bray surname in all records other than the 1900 census.

Uncle Charlie was raised by his maternal grandparents (and my second great grandparents) Joseph A. (Joe) Bray and Ferriba Salina (Salina) Moore rather than by his mother Haley Bray.

Kathleen Haven (Haven) Reed age 27 married Uncle Charlie 8 Jun 1919 in Loudon County.  Haven was the daughter of James Monroe Reed and Hattie C. Jackson.  Haven was Uncle Charlie's second wife.  He had two children with his first wife Minnie Ann King, but both of them died as infants.  So all the children listed in this census entry were Haven's children.

Nora Haven (Haven) Bray age 6 was named for her mother and also for her aunt Nora Lee Williamson, Uncle Charlie's half-sister.  Frederick Charles (or Charles Frederick) Bray age 5 was named for his father.  Charles Frederick Bray was hit by a car and killed in 1935 when he was 10 years old.

Emerson Lee Hughes age 14 married Nora Haven (Haven) Bray on 6 Jul 1939 in Monroe County.  Haven was the daughter of Charles Lee (Charlie) Bray and Kathleen Haven Reed.

Uncle Charlie was the son of William George Washington Green and my great grandmother Mary Mahala Jane (Mahala or Haley) Bray.  As such, Uncle Charlie was the half-brother of my grandmother Lola Ethel Williamson.

Emerson was the son of Wade Hughes age 41 and Fannie Clark age 41.

Kenneth E. Hunt age 4 married Lela Florence Miller on 28 Nov 1970 in Knox County.  Lela was the daughter of Frank Howard (Howard) Miller and Addie Minnie Bray, the granddaughter of Robert Henry (Henry) Bray and Maude Elizabeth Hinds, and the great granddaughter of my second great grandparents Joseph A. (Joe) Bray and Ferriba Salina (Salina) Moore.  As such, Uncle Henry was the brother of my great grandmother Mary Mahala Jane (Mahala or Haley) Bray, Addie was the first cousin of my grandmother Lola Ethel Williamson, and Lela was the second cousin of my mother.

Kenneth was the son of Ernest Hunt age 29 and Harriet Hicks age 21.  Ernest and Harriet were married on 20 Sep 1926 in Monroe County.
