I find this posting very interesting as John Rae/Ray of Warren Co., TN.,
apparently had a daughter named Mary who married a Brazeal/Brezzal. I
don't know his given name. She is shown as one of the aunts of Dicy Ray,
daughter of Aaron Ray and granddaughter of John Ray. In the various
records Ray has been spelled many different ways, i.e., Rhea, Ray, Rae,
etc., but seem to be all the same family. Don't you think these
spellings are very close to your Brazell?

The name of this Mary Brezzal is shown in the Mormon Baptism of the Dead
records as an aunt of Dicy Ray who is a known daughter of Aaron Ray who
was born in Patrick Co., VA., and Aaron is the son of the John Rae/Ray of
Warren Co., TN.

Shown also in this same Mormon record is Nancy Ray Cooper and Fanny Ray
York who are a known daughters of John Rae of Warren Co., TN., and Nancy
is buried in the same cemetery as this John Rae as is Mary Brazeal.
