Fourth Generation

150. Joseph Edward (Edward) Bray^62,67,121 was born on 29 Aug 1886 in Loudon County, Tennessee. Hawkins Mortuary records list his birth as 29 Aug 1887 in Greene County, Tennessee. They also list his parents as Joshua Bray and Salina Moore. I am quite confident that his parents were Joseph Bray and Salina Moore. I am not certain as to whether he was born in 1886 or 1887. Also, I think it much more likely that he was born in Loudon County than that he was born in Greene County.

There are records which list his name as Joseph Edward Bray, and other records which list his name as Edward J. Bray. He was known as Edward. He signed his name on his father's death certificate as J.E. Bray. Therefore, I am listing his name as Joseph Edward (Edward) Bray. RGB
