Benjamin David Wilkins b. Aug. 9, 1975 in Akron, Ohio.I can provide more information if somebody needs it. My particular interest is tracing Bray's Family back to th U.K. I have heard of a Robert Wilkins who was born in England in 1544. He may be linked to Bray -perhaps his grandfather. He is too old to be his father. If anyone knows anything about this I would appreciate getting the information.
Also I would like to figure out why Bray left Wales. Bray was involved in The Salem withcraft trials and testified against one of his family members who ended up being burned at the stake.
