James Bray Jr. (ca.1670-November 25, 1725) was a merchant, planter, and politician in the Colony of Virginia, who once represented James City County in the House of Burgesses.[1][2]
Born to Angelica, the wife of brash attorney and politician James Bray (who died in 1691), he received an education appropriate to his class.
Circa 1697, Bray married Mourning, the widow of Thomas Pettus, who bore sons Thomas and James, and daughter Elizabeth Bray.[1]
