From Switzerland County, IN history that is online at
http://www.ingenweb.org/inswitzerland/craigtownship.html
it has the following:
Daniel, or David, Bray was also among the first settlers of Craig
Township. The first election of justices, after the organization of
the county, was held at his house in 1817. The village of Braytown was
named in his honor, though it never throve.
There is also cemetery listings and the Mckay cemetery has Brays, no
pictures though. I don't know if anyone is taking pictures of
headstones in Switzerland Co., but it would be nice if they did and
posted them. Someone is doing that for cemeteries in NYS in Fulton Co.
I know this isn't much help, but doing some googling or other research
on the Internet can bring surprising results.
Good luck

Hello:
I am wondering if anyone can tell me if Braytown was named after the
Revolutionary War soldier John Bray that is buried in the McKay Cemetery?
Does anyone have a photo of his marker? Wanda Morford read the marker in
1980.
"
read by Wanda Morford in 1980 as follows - John Sr., d. Jun. 10, 1832
aged 71 y 4 m 12 d)".
Hope to hear from someone!
