From what I can tell from the different census readings and postings by others researching Elias Cundiff who married Nancy WILLIET, their son Felix Cundiff married Elizabeth BRAY. Austin Ivo Cundiff was the son of Felix Cundiff and Elizabeth BRAY, and from Austin's WWI Draft Registration we know was born 08 May 1897 in Hardin Co., KY. Also on the WWI Draft Reg., Austin Ivo Cundiff list's his father as Felix Cundiff b. in New Hope, KY. New Hope is located in Nelson Co., KY.
According to a tree posted on Ancestry.com by Gregory and Cathy Roberts: 1. Maurice Elias CUNDIFF was born 2 MAR 1830, and died BEF. 27 MAY 1914. He was the son of 2. Shadrack CUNDIFF and 3. Sally STILLWELL. He married Nancy WILLIETT 18 NOV 1851 in New Hope, Nelson County, Kentucky, daughter of Thomas WILLET and Nancy ?. She was born 13 JAN 1832 in Nelson County, Kentucky, and died 27 MAY 1914 in New Hope, Nelson County, Kentucky. She was buried 28 MAY 1914 in New Hope, Nelson County, Kentucky.

The month of birth & year of birth for Elias & Nancy are hard to read in this 1900 census.
There are quite a few Bray's on the same page.
