According to Robert E. Bowman's 2000 article "Glimpses into the English and Continental Ancestry of Certain Braintree and Saugus Ironworkers of About 1650," Quentin Pray was baptized in Chiddingstone, Kent on November 23, 1595 and was the son of a Robert Pray.[1] No record of that baptism, however, can be found on ancestry.com, familysearch.org or findmypast.com.

Robert E. Bowman, "Glimpses into the English and Continental Ancestry of Certain Braintree and Saugus Ironworkers of About 1650: Vinton, Leonard, Pray, Pinion, Tyler and Russell," The Essex Genealogist, Volume 20 (2000), pp 63-77 < AmericanAncestors > page 71 for baptism note.

Since the baptism record does not seem available (it wasn’t filmed) to support origins, I’m lock relationships after detaching the current parents.

Feedback appreciated.
