Add my storyBiography contributed by Janine Laurence
Thomas was the son of Rosetta and Thomas Bray and had 5 siblings, 9 half siblings and 3 nieces who were raised with him. One of these nieces was Theresa Jane Bray, who was only a year younger than him, and would have felt his loss as a 'brother' greatly.
