From "History of Ontario County" compiled by Lewis Cass Aldrich and edited by George S. Conover in 1893: BEGIN Andrew Jackson Bray (III), Richmond, was born August 13, 1848. His paternal grandfather, Andrew Bray, was born July 4, 1763, in New Jersey, and married Mary Yawger, by whom he had nineteen children. He settled in Scipio, Cayuga county, where his son, Andrew 2d, was born June 13, 1808. The latter (Andrew J. Bray, II) married Catharine Ann Yawger, and their children were: Philip Y., born in 1833; Ann Eliza (Hough) born in 1836; Mary (Black) of East Bloomfield, born in 1838; Nancy (Black), of Buffalo, born in 1840; and Andrew J. Andrew 2d followed boating on the canals, and quarrying plaster, and after settling in this town became a farmer and fisherman. His house was on the east side of Honeoye Lake, where his son, Andrew J. now lives. For thirty years he drew his several seines in the lake, often catching over half a ton of fish in a single night. One night he caught 7,000 white fish. He died March 30, 1886. Andrew J. was educated in the district and select schools of this town, and at Rochester Commercial College. In 1875 he married Emma Eliza Skinner, and they have had four children: Philip, who died the age of one year; Bertha, born March 19, 1878; Fanny, born December 10, 1879, and Katie, born November 6, 1886. Mr. Bray has three farms, containing in all about 242 acres. His home overlooks Honeoye Lake, and the attractive situation draws many visitors and picnic parties, who, with the boat livery and other conveniences provided by Mr. Bray, spend the summer days pleasantly.
