Second Generation


3. Rachel Bray9,10. Birth: 23 March 1805, Tennessee.10

Census: 1830, Tennessee, Age 15-19, enumerated Household of her father John Bray. It seems extremely likely the entry not just for Rachel but also for her sister and her mother was "off by one zero" for the females. Which is to say, an additional 0 would cause her to have been listed as age 20-29 and she was closer to 29 years old than to 20. This interpretation of the data is consistent with other information about Rachel's birth date. (RGB)
