John Bray, born say 1520s, parentage unknown; died before 6 Dec 1615, probably St. Margaret, Westminster, Middlesex, England when his will was proved (Dean & Chapter of Westminster, 3:267).
He may be the John Bray who was mentioned in the will of Edward Dudley, of St. Margaret's, Westminster, gent., 1 Jul 1542.
He was a churchwarden of St. Margaret's, Westminster, in 1554-1556.
Martyrdom of William Flower: In 1555 he served as a witness in the case against William Flower who had assaulted a priest at St. Margaret's. Mr. Flower had his hand cut off and was then martyred by being burned alive.
He was one of the Assistant Burgesses of the City of Westminster in 1585.
John Bray, tailor, wrote a will which was proved 6 Dec 1615 (Dean & Chapter of Westminster, 3:267). While the Act Book reveals that John's only surviving child Mary, and her husband Thomas Whitney of St. Margaret, were executors, the will itself does not survive.
