BROOKLYN
(Excerpt)
In 1815 came Jerusha RAY (Mrs. Amos BRAINARD) and Dorothy ELY (Mrs. William BRAINARD). Harriet and Charlotte, daughters of the latter, have lived single in the old home. They were fine looking women and so witty and genial that their society was much sought and young girls were always delighted to receive an invitation to the home of the BRAINARD girls. The sisters made a beautiful home and an art of housekeeping.
Jerusha was living with her son, William and his wife Dorothea at the time of the 1850 Census.
