Info found online for your reference:  G

  • Grave is in the Rosemont Cemetery, NJ.
  • Captain Daniel Bray was the Kingwood Township, New Jersey farmer who, with other members of the Hunterdon County Militia under his command, collected all of the boats on the upper Delaware. Boats were gathered from Easton to Bordentown, being then hidden on Malta Island so the British could not follow Washington as he escaped across the Delaware River into Pennsylvania. Daniel Bray was the leader of the "Boat Gatherers". He also fought at Millstone, Germantown, Monmouth, Paramus, Passaic, Woodbridge, Passaic Falls, Springfield, Byers, Elizabethtown Point, and Quibbletown. This action was part of Washington's retreat across New Jersey prior to the famous Battle of Trenton, Christmas night 1776, when he moved his army back into New Jersey and defeated the British and Hessians, reversing the course of the war.
