John Jacob (Jake) Bray was the nephew of my third great grandfather Edward Payne Bray.  The informant William Bray was Jake's son.  The Joel Underwood Cemetery is in Kodak, Sevier County, Tennessee and is now known as Pollards Cemetery.  Jake Bray is not listed in the Sevier County cemetery book, so there must not be a marker.  Note that Dist. 15 of Knox County where Jake lived is very close to the Sevier County line, which might explain why Jake died in Knox County but was buried in Sevier County.
