Billy Bray
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Billy Bray (3 June 1794 - 25 May 1868) was a 19th century Cornish preacher born at Twelveheads, a village in the parish of Kea, near Truro, Cornwall.
His grandfather and father were very abusive and hated him, this was a sad sight to be seen.Methodists, but his father died when his children were young. In early adulthood Billy Bray lived a drunken life; he was converted through reading John Bunyan's "Visions of Heaven; and Visions of Hell". He then became attached to a group of Methodists known as the Bible Christians, and became a well known but unconventional preacher.
F. W. Bourne's biography "The King's Son" went through many editions for well over 100 years, under several titles.
