- There is a will of Jean/John Dupray, 17 November 1734, Henrico Co.,
Va. He mentions a brother Lewis Dupray (who had a wife Larance and was
in Isle of Wight Co., Va., in 1719 and 1720). These were possibly
brothers of Thomas Dupray Sr., but were too old to be children of
Thomas and Margaret (Easley) Dupray.
There was a Francis Dupray, Inventory, March 1736, Henrico Co., Va.,
presented by Mary Dupray, with John Easley and James Martin as
witnesses. This Francis Dupray is not presently identified.
Traditionally, it has been said that Thomas Dupray was born in France
and came to Virginia in 1699 with Phillippe de Richebourg and others.
In the Laws of Virginia Supplement 1700/1730, Hening's Statutes at
Large, p. 39, 12 May 1705, there is "An Act for Naturalization of
Claude Philippe de Richebourg, and others." In the list, # 125 was
Thomas duPre. John duPre was # ; his brother Lewis duPre was # 33.
John Valton was # 122 on the list. Could this be the John James
Vaulton (or Paulton) who is believed be the father-in-law of Thomas
Dupray Jr.?
