John welcome to the PGCA. I’m sure Arthur would be proud you are keeping his legacy alive. Someone on here might have his old address.

Mike, Arthur had addresses in Cincinnati, like 3214 Perkins Avenue or 3314 Perkins Avenue depending on the source, and maybe others. However, his digs in Newport were probably at the Newport Barracks, where, in December of 1878, he bunked in with a General Greene for the winter. However, in 1896, his address was Newport, according to the National Gun Association. However, that may have been Newport Barracks also. If he was at the now abandoned Newport Barracks, we may never get a good address in Newport for Dubray. Newport, and Newport Barracks are just across the river from Cincinnati, and Newport Barracks is now a park.

Cincinnati directories show DuBray living at 809 Ridgeway Ave from at least 1895 to 1903. He was at 3314 Perkins Ave from 1904-1910 after which he left Cincinnati. Time has not been kind to those neighborhoods and the area today is blighted. The Perkins house may still be standing but appears to be in poor condition.

but have the streets ever been renumbered - that is not uncommon

How about pictures of the guns????

Cincinnati streets were re numbered in 1895

Somebody told me that one of DuBray's direct line relatives was a professional baseball player. Is that you John?

Yes...Richie Sexson. He would be du Bray's great great grandson.

John, I just mailed your research letter to you yesterday. I have to tell you it was the most complex and interesting letter I've ever done. It took me over 1 hr to do it.

Congratulations on a fabulous gun!

Thank you for your efforts. I can't wait to see what information you came up with. I have been working with Brian Dudley on the gun and I am sure this will help him figure out the details on what i have.
Thank you
John Sexson
