I read the messages on this board and am interested on any information you have on the geneology about James Brakey. I am not sure he is the same person, I will have to check the info I have dating back to a James Brakey in New York. I am, however a decendent of James Brakey. My Father was Walter Raymond Brakey, born in Soldier Kansas in 1900. His father was William Brakey. I go by my middle name which is Glen, named after Sidney Brakey, my fathers brother.

Hi Angela Stallard; I am sorry for this late reply to your James Brakey inquiry. We have been moving from Mass to Idaho. My Great Great Grandfather was William Brakey. He and his brother James immigrated from northern Ireland to Canada in the late 1830's or early 1840's. They both came to Franklin County, NY and bought farms there in 1842+/-. William's farm was near Trout River, Constable, NY (right on the Canadian Line) and James' farm was in Salmon River a few miles away. I have searched the land and probate records in Malone, NY, the county seat, and they also have census records there. I do not have anything on James Brakey except that he bought a farm in 1842+/-. However, your James may be a son of his. The Brakey's had a habit of having a William, James, or George in every generation, at least in my line. Brakey was also spelled Breakey. My line has kept Brakey. Please do not hesitate to contact me , now that we are settled here in Idaho. I have a lot of infromation relating to Ireland, and France whence they came from. Bud Huntley

Almer,
Hope you can help me. You mentioned a James Brakey in one of your posts. I have a James Brakey that shows up in Lockport, Niagara County, NY city directories starting in 1884 going up to 1900 at the time of his death. Last name does change from Brakey to Breakey. My James was b. abt 1823 in Ireland (accord. to census records) and died in 1900. He immigrated to Canada and married a lady there named Jane (last name unknown). They moved from there to NY and had a daughter named Isabel b. abt 1879 in NY. James and Jane do show up in the 1880 Niagara County Census in the city of Lockport. You mentioned that your William had a brother named James...could this be him? And if so, will you please let me know what you know about him. I have just found this line, so know virtually nothing about it. Thanks in advance.

My brother was Patrick Henry Brakey who died in Ogden Utah in 1976. My father, Walter Raymond Brakey was born in Soldier, Kansas in August 1900. He was killed in an automobile accident in July 1965 in Southern Utah on the way back from a vacation to California, my Mother was killed with him. My dad lived in Redmesa, Colorado near Four Corners. He and my Mother, Vira May Hamblin were married in North Western New Mexico. They then moved to Utah where they lived until they died. My five older brothers who were Brakeys (Walter LLoyd, Jerry, Bob, Pat, and John) have all died at young ages. Only Roy (Oaklahoma), Barry (Vernal, Utah) and myself, Glen (Clovis, New Mexico).

Hi Steph

I tried to email you months ago, but the address that Bud Brakey gave me did not work so I am really glad you replied. I have the infor Bud had, but if you have anything in addition, I would like it. I called Pennie, Bob Brakey's widow, and ask for all the info she had on the desendants of Walt and Vira Brakey. She said she would send it, but that was in the Summer and I have recieved nothing yet. Tell Shon hi. Is he still with the Railroad?

Dear Mr. Huntley,

Re: yours of Date: 4 Oct 2001 2:40 AM GMT

You mentioned William the Conquerer . . . .

There were three Hueguenots named de Brequet that left France when the Edict of Nantes was revoked c. 1685 by that most catholic King Louis. They fled to the Netherlands and joined William of Orange when he went to England to dispense with the throne usurper.

Then on to Ireland where they became linen bleachers and anglicized their name to Breakey. A copy of their linen stamp in on file in Ireland.

For more detail I refer you to http://www.breakey.org/

ORIGINS OF THE BREAKEY/BRAKEY/BREAKY CLAN

2002-12-27 03:11:40Z

It is my understanding that a Breakey who had moved west was/became a horse thief, which was a major, and socially speaking, truly disssspikabl crime in those days.

This caused many Breakeys in the area to change the spelling of the name.

For more on the origins of the Breakey (?Breaky/Brakey?) moniker I refer interested parties to
