Some Famous People called Bray Wilkins

Bray Wilkins

Bray Wilkins (probably pronounced based on contemporaneous spelling Brey Wilkeens; 1610 – 1 January 1702) was a Welsh immigrant, patriarch, and founder of Middleton, Massachusetts. Bray's origins aren't concretely known and are supplanted (and probably distorted) by familial tradition, however his reputation was already prolific in the Massachusetts Bay Colony decades before his death. His progeny, the Wilkins family, had a strong presence in the area. Bray and his family were prominent figures in some Salem Witch Trials. Source: Bray Wilkins, Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia
