SARAH ELIZABETH "SALLIE" BRAY
Sarah Elizabeth "Sallie" BRAY was born April 3 1844 in TN, daughter of Elijah Bray, born 1809 and Elizabeth PATTERSON, born 1811. BRAY DAR info   Sallie married Andrew Jackson PEDDY in TN between May 3 1869 & June 12 1869. This time period is determined from two census records where the number of years married is shown and from the Andrew J Peddy will.
      Sallie taught school - probably at the Buckley School and paid farm debt with her teacher salary. Sallie owned land and she loaned money to her sons to buy property - money that she had inherited from her parents. Sallie owned & played an organ. [The organ was passed on to daughter, Cora Peddy SEATON.] Sallie worked hard & farmed while her husband was traveling to Nashville TN or out to TX.   Andrew engaged in politics, land speculation in TX & visited relatives in TX.       Between 1902 and 1910 son, Hubert Peddy was murdered in New Mexico (or Texas). Because of the animosity between Hubert and his father, Andrew J did not go and retreive the body. Sallie was very upset that Andrew J would not go and retreive the body.   Hubert's burial place is now unknown to living Peddy descendants in 2004.           Children: (1) William Franklin Peddy Feb 28 1870 - Nov 29 1870   (2) John Allen Peddy Feb 23 1872 - July 11 1952   (3) Hubert Ellis Peddy July 25 1875 - (1902-1910).   (4) Elma Elizabeth Peddy May 30 1877 - Sept 30 1893   (5) Luther Lee "Luke" Peddy Mar 26 1879 - March 15 1955   (6) Ollie Mae Peddy Aug 20 1882 - Aug 8 1905   (7) Minnie Orrah Peddy Feb 17 1884 - July 23 1916   (8) Cora Eva Peddy Feb 4 1890 - Dec 1 1977.     Many years after Hubert E Peddy was murdered Sallie gave her grandson, Herschel H Peddy a pocket watch, a knife and a Mexican Silver dollar that Hubert had in his pocket when he was murdered.
      In their later years when they could no longer care for themselves Andrew J Peddy went to live with his son, James E. "Jim" Peddy and Sallie went to live with her daughter, Cora E Peddy Seaton.

On July 17 1880 the Bray land was sold at the residence of Elijah Bray, widower of Elizabeth Bray of Civil District 4 in Henderson Co TN.   81 acres sold to J. M.
