RESEARCH NOTES
- can’t find baptism for this 2nd son John on the Corwall OPC site (but all other 11 siblings listed). The closest listed is a Jonathan Bray bapt. 14 Dec 1760 in Poundstock, father Joseph, no mother listed. Can’t yet prove that this John belongs in this family.

- Who were his parents? Based on the use of the alternate surname “Kite” mentioned in his will, it is possible that he was actually the base born son of Grace Kitt:
