Biography

According to my one of my father's first cousins (one of Cora's great-grand daughters): "...Cora Bronson was quite a gal. She married Robert Deverell and had Robert, Seba, George and my grandmother Genevieve. She must have still been married to Robert when the family moved to Butte. Robert had cousins (the Willoughbys) there so perhaps that and jobs in the mines were the reason for the move. He [Robert Deverell] is listed in the city [Butte] directory in 1891. Along the way they divorced and she married John Bray. Her divorce from Bray was highly public with all the accounts in the Butte paper. Not only was divorce looked down on but two, unheard of. My Grandmother Genevieve at 17 had to testify. One paper said that John Bray said that they [he and Cora] had no children together, but there was her little daughter Pear Bray. Who knows!"
