"JOHN BRAY, esq. who was buried in the chancel of the church at Chelsea, m. ____ , and had, with a daughter, the wife of Sir John Norris, three sons ..."

When Sir John Bray was born in 1460, in Eaton Bray, Bedfordshire, England, his father, Richard Bray, was 46 and his mother, Joan Troughton, was 41. He had at least 3 sons and 1 daughter with unknown. He died about 1505, in England, at the age of 46.

Death also seen as October 18, 1539 (74-83) in Chelsea, London, Middlesex, England. But if John Bray the younger did not die until 1539 why did Sir Reginald act as guardian to John's oldest son and why did Reginald not leave any bequest to his brother? Is it more likely that John died before 1503?

Notes: In 1542 John Sackville sold to John Selwyn of Friston, Sussex, for 6.13.4, the wardship and marriage of the heir of John Bray of Westdean, Sussex, and the custody of the manor of Westdean which was held of the elder Sackville by knight's service. It would appear that the John Bray referred to would be this John Bray, as his son Edward, "of Henfield and Selmeston, Suss. & Vachery, Surr." was active in the immediate area of Westdean, Sussex. Selmeston, Sussex lies just North of Westdean. He was also Member of Parliament for Lewes which lies to the West. Henfield lies further to the West.

Reginald Bray died without issue on 5 August 1503, and was buried in St George's Chapel, Windsor.[5] Bray had a brother of the whole blood, John Bray, and an elder half brother, also named John Bray. After litigation, Reginald Bray's estates were divided between his nephew, Edmund Bray, eldest son of his brother of the whole blood, John Bray, and William Sandys, 1st Baron Sandys, who had married Margery Bray, the daughter of Bray's elder brother of the half blood, John Bray.[5]
