    Another gem.

    Must look at the manifest as Richard Bray does not appear to be a sibling of my Bray's.

    Age is bit off, but is definitely her. She is described as a Servant - could she have been employed by the Cocking family which is how she met up with John?

    (Coincidence?)
    Coincidence? - I think so - the uncle in Michigan and his occupation [Mason] do not match any of my Bray line.
