THOMAS BRAY & SARAH FENN 223

2 Col. THOMAS BRAY (James) lived in New Kent county, and was dead before 1732 (Hening, Statutes, IV., 370). He married Sarah Fenn, daughter of Samuel Fenn, of Middle Plantation, Williamsburg (who gave two acres for a church), and widow of Capt. Thomas Claiborne, of King William county (Va. Mag., I., 317; QUARTERLY, III., 77).

His wife, Sarah Bray, founded a scholarship at William and Mary College.

“Madam Sarah Bray departed this life October 18, 1716” (St. Peter’s Register, New Kent county).

They appear to have left no issue.
