     Alexander Gray Sr. died at Halifax Co., Virginia, USA; Bryan&Rose [1876:335] says that Alexander and Elizabeth (Fitzhugh) Gray settled in Halifax co., VA. It is unclear if that is where he died.¹ He was born at Scotland.¹ He married Elizabeth Fitzhugh at Scotland.¹

     Alexander Gray Sr. was a witness to There was a GRAY family from Virginia that settled in Callaway County at the same time as William and Anne (Langtry) GRAY. I have not been able to find a link between William and that family. Here is the evidence on this unrelated GRAY family:

     From Bryan & Rose [1876:335]: 'GRAY. - Alexander1 Gray of Scotland, married Elizabeth Fitzhugh, and settled in Halifax county, Va. Their children were - James2, John2, Alexander2, Robert2, George2, Henry2, Elizabeth2, Mary2, and Sally2. George2 was married in 1799 to Fannie Brooks, of Virginia, and Settled in Callaway county in 1823. His children were - John3 B., Alexander3, George3 W., Martha3, Elizabeth3, Rachel3, Polly3, Fannie3, and Ana3, all of whom were born in Virginia, but settled in Callaway county with their parents."

     From National Historical Co. [1884:771]: "Alexander3 A. Gray, another of the many venerable old citizens and worthy, time-honored farmers of Callaway county, was born in Virginia in 1803, and came out to this county with his parents, George and Fanny Gray, in the pioneer days of the country. His mother, who was a daughter of John Brooks, was a cousin to Elizabeth (Brooks) Hold, the mother of James and John Hold, whose sketches precede this, and was of one of the best families - the Brooks of Virginia. Alexander Gray, the subject of this sketch, was brought up to a farm life and has followed that occupation continuously from boyhood. On the 3d of June, 1835, he was married to Miss Elizabeth M. Brooks, daughter of James Brooks, a relative, who was also originally from Virginia, and who immigrated to this county in 1821. Mr. and Mrs. Gray have had nine children: Fanny4 B., born January 22, 1837; Geo. 4 W., born January 3, 1839; James4 B., born December 13, 1840; Martha4 Ann, born March 25, 1843; Elijah4, born November 1, 1845; Rachel4, born May 20, 1848; John4 H., born February 13, 1850; Elizabeth4 Harriet born in 18--, and Robert4 Asbury, born October 5, 1853. Mr. Gray has led an industrious, energetic and hard-working life, and has not only brought up his family in a most creditable manner, but has a comfortable homestead, the fruit of his own toil, to rely upon for support in his old age. His farm is comfortable and substantially improved, including a good dwelling and other buildings, and a good orchard, etc. Mr. Gray has been a church member for many years. A live well spent, both in wise and temperate living, and in industrious and intelligent labor, has brought him an age of comfort and comparative good health, and having always lived according to the old Scriptural rule: "Do good unto all men and evil unto none," - he now has the good will and venerate respect of all who know him.

     George Gray was born at Halifax Co., Virginia, USA; Bryan&Rose [1876:335] says that Alexander and Elizabeth (Fitzhugh) Gray settled in Halifax co., VA. It is unclear if that is where their children were all born.¹ He married Fannie Brooks, daughter of John Brooks.¹

     George Gray was a witness to There was a GRAY family from Virginia that settled in Callaway County at the same time as William and Anne (Langtry) GRAY. I have not been able to find a link between William and that family. Here is the evidence on this unrelated GRAY family:

     From Bryan & Rose [1876:335]: 'GRAY. - Alexander1 Gray of Scotland, married Elizabeth Fitzhugh, and settled in Halifax county, Va. Their children were - James2, John2, Alexander2, Robert2, George2, Henry2, Elizabeth2, Mary2, and Sally2. George2 was married in 1799 to Fannie Brooks, of Virginia, and Settled in Callaway county in 1823. His children were - John3 B., Alexander3, George3 W., Martha3, Elizabeth3, Rachel3, Polly3, Fannie3, and Ana3, all of whom were born in Virginia, but settled in Callaway county with their parents."

     From National Historical Co. [1884:771]: "Alexander3 A. Gray, another of the many venerable old citizens and worthy, time-honored farmers of Callaway county, was born in Virginia in 1803, and came out to this county with his parents, George and Fanny Gray, in the pioneer days of the country. His mother, who was a daughter of John Brooks, was a cousin to Elizabeth (Brooks) Hold, the mother of James and John Hold, whose sketches precede this, and was of one of the best families - the Brooks of Virginia. Alexander Gray, the subject of this sketch, was brought up to a farm life and has followed that occupation continuously from boyhood. On the 3d of June, 1835, he was married to Miss Elizabeth M. Brooks, daughter of James Brooks, a relative, who was also originally from Virginia, and who immigrated to this county in 1821. Mr. and Mrs. Gray have had nine children: Fanny4 B., born January 22, 1837; Geo. 4 W., born January 3, 1839; James4 B., born December 13, 1840; Martha4 Ann, born March 25, 1843; Elijah4, born November 1, 1845; Rachel4, born May 20, 1848; John4 H., born February 13, 1850; Elizabeth4 Harriet born in 18--, and Robert4 Asbury, born October 5, 1853. Mr. Gray has led an industrious, energetic and hard-working life, and has not only brought up his family in a most creditable manner, but has a comfortable homestead, the fruit of his own toil, to rely upon for support in his old age. His farm is comfortable and substantially improved, including a good dwelling and other buildings, and a good orchard, etc. Mr. Gray has been a church member for many years. A live well spent, both in wise and temperate living, and in industrious and intelligent labor, has brought him an age of comfort and comparative good health, and having always lived according to the old Scriptural rule: "Do good unto all men and evil unto none," - he now has the good will and venerate respect of all who know him.

Fannie Brooks¹

F, #81554, b. circa 1773

Father

John Brooks²

Last Edited

3 Dec 2017

     Fannie Brooks married George Gray, son of Alexander Gray Sr. and Elizabeth Fitzhugh.¹
Fannie Brooks was born circa 1773 at Virginia, USA; age 77 in 1850 census.^1,3
     She was a witness to There was a GRAY family from Virginia that settled in Callaway County at the same time as William and Anne (Langtry) GRAY. I have not been able to find a link between William and that family. Here is the evidence on this unrelated GRAY family:

     From Bryan & Rose [1876:335]: 'GRAY. - Alexander1 Gray of Scotland, married Elizabeth Fitzhugh, and settled in Halifax county, Va. Their children were - James2, John2, Alexander2, Robert2, George2, Henry2, Elizabeth2, Mary2, and Sally2. George2 was married in 1799 to Fannie Brooks, of Virginia, and Settled in Callaway county in 1823. His children were - John3 B., Alexander3, George3 W., Martha3, Elizabeth3, Rachel3, Polly3, Fannie3, and Ana3, all of whom were born in Virginia, but settled in Callaway county with their parents."

     From National Historical Co. [1884:771]: "Alexander3 A. Gray, another of the many venerable old citizens and worthy, time-honored farmers of Callaway county, was born in Virginia in 1803, and came out to this county with his parents, George and Fanny Gray, in the pioneer days of the country. His mother, who was a daughter of John Brooks, was a cousin to Elizabeth (Brooks) Hold, the mother of James and John Hold, whose sketches precede this, and was of one of the best families - the Brooks of Virginia. Alexander Gray, the subject of this sketch, was brought up to a farm life and has followed that occupation continuously from boyhood. On the 3d of June, 1835, he was married to Miss Elizabeth M. Brooks, daughter of James Brooks, a relative, who was also originally from Virginia, and who immigrated to this county in 1821. Mr. and Mrs. Gray have had nine children: Fanny4 B., born January 22, 1837; Geo. 4 W., born January 3, 1839; James4 B., born December 13, 1840; Martha4 Ann, born March 25, 1843; Elijah4, born November 1, 1845; Rachel4, born May 20, 1848; John4 H., born February 13, 1850; Elizabeth4 Harriet born in 18--, and Robert4 Asbury, born October 5, 1853. Mr. Gray has led an industrious, energetic and hard-working life, and has not only brought up his family in a most creditable manner, but has a comfortable homestead, the fruit of his own toil, to rely upon for support in his old age. His farm is comfortable and substantially improved, including a good dwelling and other buildings, and a good orchard, etc. Mr. Gray has been a church member for many years. A live well spent, both in wise and temperate living, and in industrious and intelligent labor, has brought him an age of comfort and comparative good health, and having always lived according to the old Scriptural rule: "Do good unto all men and evil unto none," - he now has the good will and venerate respect of all who know him.

George2 appears in Callaway Co. the 1830 Federal Census, with his wife and possibly 9 children:

     John B. Gray was born circa 1800 at Virginia, USA; Bryan&Rose [1876:335] says that Alexander and Elizabeth (Fitzhugh) Gray settled in Halifax co., VA. It is unclear if that is where their children were all born. Age 50 in 1850 census.^1,2
John B. Gray died after 1880; He is 80 in the 1880 census, but there is no record of him after that.³
     ; Living with John B. GRAY in the 1850 and 1860 censuses. He may be his nephew (son of one of John's sisters).^4,5 He was a witness to There was a GRAY family from Virginia that settled in Callaway County at the same time as William and Anne (Langtry) GRAY. I have not been able to find a link between William and that family. Here is the evidence on this unrelated GRAY family:

     From Bryan & Rose [1876:335]: 'GRAY. - Alexander1 Gray of Scotland, married Elizabeth Fitzhugh, and settled in Halifax county, Va. Their children were - James2, John2, Alexander2, Robert2, George2, Henry2, Elizabeth2, Mary2, and Sally2. George2 was married in 1799 to Fannie Brooks, of Virginia, and Settled in Callaway county in 1823. His children were - John3 B., Alexander3, George3 W., Martha3, Elizabeth3, Rachel3, Polly3, Fannie3, and Ana3, all of whom were born in Virginia, but settled in Callaway county with their parents."

     From National Historical Co. [1884:771]: "Alexander3 A. Gray, another of the many venerable old citizens and worthy, time-honored farmers of Callaway county, was born in Virginia in 1803, and came out to this county with his parents, George and Fanny Gray, in the pioneer days of the country. His mother, who was a daughter of John Brooks, was a cousin to Elizabeth (Brooks) Hold, the mother of James and John Hold, whose sketches precede this, and was of one of the best families - the Brooks of Virginia. Alexander Gray, the subject of this sketch, was brought up to a farm life and has followed that occupation continuously from boyhood. On the 3d of June, 1835, he was married to Miss Elizabeth M. Brooks, daughter of James Brooks, a relative, who was also originally from Virginia, and who immigrated to this county in 1821. Mr. and Mrs. Gray have had nine children: Fanny4 B., born January 22, 1837; Geo. 4 W., born January 3, 1839; James4 B., born December 13, 1840; Martha4 Ann, born March 25, 1843; Elijah4, born November 1, 1845; Rachel4, born May 20, 1848; John4 H., born February 13, 1850; Elizabeth4 Harriet born in 18--, and Robert4 Asbury, born October 5, 1853. Mr. Gray has led an industrious, energetic and hard-working life, and has not only brought up his family in a most creditable manner, but has a comfortable homestead, the fruit of his own toil, to rely upon for support in his old age. His farm is comfortable and substantially improved, including a good dwelling and other buildings, and a good orchard, etc. Mr. Gray has been a church member for many years. A live well spent, both in wise and temperate living, and in industrious and intelligent labor, has brought him an age of comfort and comparative good health, and having always lived according to the old Scriptural rule: "Do good unto all men and evil unto none," - he now has the good will and venerate respect of all who know him.

; Unknown Thomas Hudson in 18 40 census on the same page as Alexander (line 25) and George (line 4) GRAY.⁶ He was a witness to There was a GRAY family from Virginia that settled in Callaway County at the same time as William and Anne (Langtry) GRAY. I have not been able to find a link between William and that family. Here is the evidence on this unrelated GRAY family:

     From Bryan & Rose [1876:335]: 'GRAY. - Alexander1 Gray of Scotland, married Elizabeth Fitzhugh, and settled in Halifax county, Va. Their children were - James2, John2, Alexander2, Robert2, George2, Henry2, Elizabeth2, Mary2, and Sally2. George2 was married in 1799 to Fannie Brooks, of Virginia, and Settled in Callaway county in 1823. His children were - John3 B., Alexander3, George3 W., Martha3, Elizabeth3, Rachel3, Polly3, Fannie3, and Ana3, all of whom were born in Virginia, but settled in Callaway county with their parents."

     From National Historical Co. [1884:771]: "Alexander3 A. Gray, another of the many venerable old citizens and worthy, time-honored farmers of Callaway county, was born in Virginia in 1803, and came out to this county with his parents, George and Fanny Gray, in the pioneer days of the country. His mother, who was a daughter of John Brooks, was a cousin to Elizabeth (Brooks) Hold, the mother of James and John Hold, whose sketches precede this, and was of one of the best families - the Brooks of Virginia. Alexander Gray, the subject of this sketch, was brought up to a farm life and has followed that occupation continuously from boyhood. On the 3d of June, 1835, he was married to Miss Elizabeth M. Brooks, daughter of James Brooks, a relative, who was also originally from Virginia, and who immigrated to this county in 1821. Mr. and Mrs. Gray have had nine children: Fanny4 B., born January 22, 1837; Geo. 4 W., born January 3, 1839; James4 B., born December 13, 1840; Martha4 Ann, born March 25, 1843; Elijah4, born November 1, 1845; Rachel4, born May 20, 1848; John4 H., born February 13, 1850; Elizabeth4 Harriet born in 18--, and Robert4 Asbury, born October 5, 1853. Mr. Gray has led an industrious, energetic and hard-working life, and has not only brought up his family in a most creditable manner, but has a comfortable homestead, the fruit of his own toil, to rely upon for support in his old age. His farm is comfortable and substantially improved, including a good dwelling and other buildings, and a good orchard, etc. Mr. Gray has been a church member for many years. A live well spent, both in wise and temperate living, and in industrious and intelligent labor, has brought him an age of comfort and comparative good health, and having always lived according to the old Scriptural rule: "Do good unto all men and evil unto none," - he now has the good will and venerate respect of all who know him.

; Unknown Thomas Hudson in 18 40 census on the same page as Alexander (line 25) and George (line 4) GRAY.⁶ He was a witness to There was a GRAY family from Virginia that settled in Callaway County at the same time as William and Anne (Langtry) GRAY. I have not been able to find a link between William and that family. Here is the evidence on this unrelated GRAY family:

     From Bryan & Rose [1876:335]: 'GRAY. - Alexander1 Gray of Scotland, married Elizabeth Fitzhugh, and settled in Halifax county, Va. Their children were - James2, John2, Alexander2, Robert2, George2, Henry2, Elizabeth2, Mary2, and Sally2. George2 was married in 1799 to Fannie Brooks, of Virginia, and Settled in Callaway county in 1823. His children were - John3 B., Alexander3, George3 W., Martha3, Elizabeth3, Rachel3, Polly3, Fannie3, and Ana3, all of whom were born in Virginia, but settled in Callaway county with their parents."

     From National Historical Co. [1884:771]: "Alexander3 A. Gray, another of the many venerable old citizens and worthy, time-honored farmers of Callaway county, was born in Virginia in 1803, and came out to this county with his parents, George and Fanny Gray, in the pioneer days of the country. His mother, who was a daughter of John Brooks, was a cousin to Elizabeth (Brooks) Hold, the mother of James and John Hold, whose sketches precede this, and was of one of the best families - the Brooks of Virginia. Alexander Gray, the subject of this sketch, was brought up to a farm life and has followed that occupation continuously from boyhood. On the 3d of June, 1835, he was married to Miss Elizabeth M. Brooks, daughter of James Brooks, a relative, who was also originally from Virginia, and who immigrated to this county in 1821. Mr. and Mrs. Gray have had nine children: Fanny4 B., born January 22, 1837; Geo. 4 W., born January 3, 1839; James4 B., born December 13, 1840; Martha4 Ann, born March 25, 1843; Elijah4, born November 1, 1845; Rachel4, born May 20, 1848; John4 H., born February 13, 1850; Elizabeth4 Harriet born in 18--, and Robert4 Asbury, born October 5, 1853. Mr. Gray has led an industrious, energetic and hard-working life, and has not only brought up his family in a most creditable manner, but has a comfortable homestead, the fruit of his own toil, to rely upon for support in his old age. His farm is comfortable and substantially improved, including a good dwelling and other buildings, and a good orchard, etc. Mr. Gray has been a church member for many years. A live well spent, both in wise and temperate living, and in industrious and intelligent labor, has brought him an age of comfort and comparative good health, and having always lived according to the old Scriptural rule: "Do good unto all men and evil unto none," - he now has the good will and venerate respect of all who know him.

Martha Gray¹

F, #81558

Father

George Gray¹

Mother

Fannie Brooks¹ b. c 1773

Last Edited

7 May 2017

     Martha Gray was born at Virginia, USA.¹
     She was a witness to There was a GRAY family from Virginia that settled in Callaway County at the same time as William and Anne (Langtry) GRAY. I have not been able to find a link between William and that family. Here is the evidence on this unrelated GRAY family:

     From Bryan & Rose [1876:335]: 'GRAY. - Alexander1 Gray of Scotland, married Elizabeth Fitzhugh, and settled in Halifax county, Va. Their children were - James2, John2, Alexander2, Robert2, George2, Henry2, Elizabeth2, Mary2, and Sally2. George2 was married in 1799 to Fannie Brooks, of Virginia, and Settled in Callaway county in 1823. His children were - John3 B., Alexander3, George3 W., Martha3, Elizabeth3, Rachel3, Polly3, Fannie3, and Ana3, all of whom were born in Virginia, but settled in Callaway county with their parents."

     From National Historical Co. [1884:771]: "Alexander3 A. Gray, another of the many venerable old citizens and worthy, time-honored farmers of Callaway county, was born in Virginia in 1803, and came out to this county with his parents, George and Fanny Gray, in the pioneer days of the country. His mother, who was a daughter of John Brooks, was a cousin to Elizabeth (Brooks) Hold, the mother of James and John Hold, whose sketches precede this, and was of one of the best families - the Brooks of Virginia. Alexander Gray, the subject of this sketch, was brought up to a farm life and has followed that occupation continuously from boyhood. On the 3d of June, 1835, he was married to Miss Elizabeth M. Brooks, daughter of James Brooks, a relative, who was also originally from Virginia, and who immigrated to this county in 1821. Mr. and Mrs. Gray have had nine children: Fanny4 B., born January 22, 1837; Geo. 4 W., born January 3, 1839; James4 B., born December 13, 1840; Martha4 Ann, born March 25, 1843; Elijah4, born November 1, 1845; Rachel4, born May 20, 1848; John4 H., born February 13, 1850; Elizabeth4 Harriet born in 18--, and Robert4 Asbury, born October 5, 1853. Mr. Gray has led an industrious, energetic and hard-working life, and has not only brought up his family in a most creditable manner, but has a comfortable homestead, the fruit of his own toil, to rely upon for support in his old age. His farm is comfortable and substantially improved, including a good dwelling and other buildings, and a good orchard, etc. Mr. Gray has been a church member for many years. A live well spent, both in wise and temperate living, and in industrious and intelligent labor, has brought him an age of comfort and comparative good health, and having always lived according to the old Scriptural rule: "Do good unto all men and evil unto none," - he now has the good will and venerate respect of all who know him.

George2 appears in Callaway Co. the 1830 Federal Census, with his wife and possibly 9 children:

     Elizabeth "Betsey" Gray was born at Virginia, USA.¹
     She was a witness to There was a GRAY family from Virginia that settled in Callaway County at the same time as William and Anne (Langtry) GRAY. I have not been able to find a link between William and that family. Here is the evidence on this unrelated GRAY family:

     From Bryan & Rose [1876:335]: 'GRAY. - Alexander1 Gray of Scotland, married Elizabeth Fitzhugh, and settled in Halifax county, Va. Their children were - James2, John2, Alexander2, Robert2, George2, Henry2, Elizabeth2, Mary2, and Sally2. George2 was married in 1799 to Fannie Brooks, of Virginia, and Settled in Callaway county in 1823. His children were - John3 B., Alexander3, George3 W., Martha3, Elizabeth3, Rachel3, Polly3, Fannie3, and Ana3, all of whom were born in Virginia, but settled in Callaway county with their parents."

     From National Historical Co. [1884:771]: "Alexander3 A. Gray, another of the many venerable old citizens and worthy, time-honored farmers of Callaway county, was born in Virginia in 1803, and came out to this county with his parents, George and Fanny Gray, in the pioneer days of the country. His mother, who was a daughter of John Brooks, was a cousin to Elizabeth (Brooks) Hold, the mother of James and John Hold, whose sketches precede this, and was of one of the best families - the Brooks of Virginia. Alexander Gray, the subject of this sketch, was brought up to a farm life and has followed that occupation continuously from boyhood. On the 3d of June, 1835, he was married to Miss Elizabeth M. Brooks, daughter of James Brooks, a relative, who was also originally from Virginia, and who immigrated to this county in 1821. Mr. and Mrs. Gray have had nine children: Fanny4 B., born January 22, 1837; Geo. 4 W., born January 3, 1839; James4 B., born December 13, 1840; Martha4 Ann, born March 25, 1843; Elijah4, born November 1, 1845; Rachel4, born May 20, 1848; John4 H., born February 13, 1850; Elizabeth4 Harriet born in 18--, and Robert4 Asbury, born October 5, 1853. Mr. Gray has led an industrious, energetic and hard-working life, and has not only brought up his family in a most creditable manner, but has a comfortable homestead, the fruit of his own toil, to rely upon for support in his old age. His farm is comfortable and substantially improved, including a good dwelling and other buildings, and a good orchard, etc. Mr. Gray has been a church member for many years. A live well spent, both in wise and temperate living, and in industrious and intelligent labor, has brought him an age of comfort and comparative good health, and having always lived according to the old Scriptural rule: "Do good unto all men and evil unto none," - he now has the good will and venerate respect of all who know him.

; per Hist. of Calaway Co. [1884:771], Fannie and Anna (Annie) were twins.⁷ She was a witness to There was a GRAY family from Virginia that settled in Callaway County at the same time as William and Anne (Langtry) GRAY. I have not been able to find a link between William and that family. Here is the evidence on this unrelated GRAY family:

     From Bryan & Rose [1876:335]: 'GRAY. - Alexander1 Gray of Scotland, married Elizabeth Fitzhugh, and settled in Halifax county, Va. Their children were - James2, John2, Alexander2, Robert2, George2, Henry2, Elizabeth2, Mary2, and Sally2. George2 was married in 1799 to Fannie Brooks, of Virginia, and Settled in Callaway county in 1823. His children were - John3 B., Alexander3, George3 W., Martha3, Elizabeth3, Rachel3, Polly3, Fannie3, and Ana3, all of whom were born in Virginia, but settled in Callaway county with their parents."

     From National Historical Co. [1884:771]: "Alexander3 A. Gray, another of the many venerable old citizens and worthy, time-honored farmers of Callaway county, was born in Virginia in 1803, and came out to this county with his parents, George and Fanny Gray, in the pioneer days of the country. His mother, who was a daughter of John Brooks, was a cousin to Elizabeth (Brooks) Hold, the mother of James and John Hold, whose sketches precede this, and was of one of the best families - the Brooks of Virginia. Alexander Gray, the subject of this sketch, was brought up to a farm life and has followed that occupation continuously from boyhood. On the 3d of June, 1835, he was married to Miss Elizabeth M. Brooks, daughter of James Brooks, a relative, who was also originally from Virginia, and who immigrated to this county in 1821. Mr. and Mrs. Gray have had nine children: Fanny4 B., born January 22, 1837; Geo. 4 W., born January 3, 1839; James4 B., born December 13, 1840; Martha4 Ann, born March 25, 1843; Elijah4, born November 1, 1845; Rachel4, born May 20, 1848; John4 H., born February 13, 1850; Elizabeth4 Harriet born in 18--, and Robert4 Asbury, born October 5, 1853. Mr. Gray has led an industrious, energetic and hard-working life, and has not only brought up his family in a most creditable manner, but has a comfortable homestead, the fruit of his own toil, to rely upon for support in his old age. His farm is comfortable and substantially improved, including a good dwelling and other buildings, and a good orchard, etc. Mr. Gray has been a church member for many years. A live well spent, both in wise and temperate living, and in industrious and intelligent labor, has brought him an age of comfort and comparative good health, and having always lived according to the old Scriptural rule: "Do good unto all men and evil unto none," - he now has the good will and venerate respect of all who know him.

     Anna Gray was born at Virginia, USA.¹
      ; per Hist. of Calaway Co. [1884:771], Fannie and Anna (Annie) were twins.² She was a witness to There was a GRAY family from Virginia that settled in Callaway County at the same time as William and Anne (Langtry) GRAY. I have not been able to find a link between William and that family. Here is the evidence on this unrelated GRAY family:

     From Bryan & Rose [1876:335]: 'GRAY. - Alexander1 Gray of Scotland, married Elizabeth Fitzhugh, and settled in Halifax county, Va. Their children were - James2, John2, Alexander2, Robert2, George2, Henry2, Elizabeth2, Mary2, and Sally2. George2 was married in 1799 to Fannie Brooks, of Virginia, and Settled in Callaway county in 1823. His children were - John3 B., Alexander3, George3 W., Martha3, Elizabeth3, Rachel3, Polly3, Fannie3, and Ana3, all of whom were born in Virginia, but settled in Callaway county with their parents."

     From National Historical Co. [1884:771]: "Alexander3 A. Gray, another of the many venerable old citizens and worthy, time-honored farmers of Callaway county, was born in Virginia in 1803, and came out to this county with his parents, George and Fanny Gray, in the pioneer days of the country. His mother, who was a daughter of John Brooks, was a cousin to Elizabeth (Brooks) Hold, the mother of James and John Hold, whose sketches precede this, and was of one of the best families - the Brooks of Virginia. Alexander Gray, the subject of this sketch, was brought up to a farm life and has followed that occupation continuously from boyhood. On the 3d of June, 1835, he was married to Miss Elizabeth M. Brooks, daughter of James Brooks, a relative, who was also originally from Virginia, and who immigrated to this county in 1821. Mr. and Mrs. Gray have had nine children: Fanny4 B., born January 22, 1837; Geo. 4 W., born January 3, 1839; James4 B., born December 13, 1840; Martha4 Ann, born March 25, 1843; Elijah4, born November 1, 1845; Rachel4, born May 20, 1848; John4 H., born February 13, 1850; Elizabeth4 Harriet born in 18--, and Robert4 Asbury, born October 5, 1853. Mr. Gray has led an industrious, energetic and hard-working life, and has not only brought up his family in a most creditable manner, but has a comfortable homestead, the fruit of his own toil, to rely upon for support in his old age. His farm is comfortable and substantially improved, including a good dwelling and other buildings, and a good orchard, etc. Mr. Gray has been a church member for many years. A live well spent, both in wise and temperate living, and in industrious and intelligent labor, has brought him an age of comfort and comparative good health, and having always lived according to the old Scriptural rule: "Do good unto all men and evil unto none," - he now has the good will and venerate respect of all who know him.

Elizabeth Ann Brooks died after 1880 at Cedar Township, Callaway Co., Missouri, USA; from FindAGrave.com: While her name and birth date are inscribed on the gravestone, her death date is not so it is unknown at this time. She was living with her husband and family in Cedar Twp., Callaway Co., Missouri, in the 1880 Federal Census.¹
     Reference: Several other children of Alexander and Elizabeth (Brooks) Gray are buried in Prospect Cemetery.⁵ Elizabeth Ann Brooks was also known as Elizabeth M. Brooks.² She was a witness to There was a GRAY family from Virginia that settled in Callaway County at the same time as William and Anne (Langtry) GRAY. I have not been able to find a link between William and that family. Here is the evidence on this unrelated GRAY family:

     From Bryan & Rose [1876:335]: 'GRAY. - Alexander1 Gray of Scotland, married Elizabeth Fitzhugh, and settled in Halifax county, Va. Their children were - James2, John2, Alexander2, Robert2, George2, Henry2, Elizabeth2, Mary2, and Sally2. George2 was married in 1799 to Fannie Brooks, of Virginia, and Settled in Callaway county in 1823. His children were - John3 B., Alexander3, George3 W., Martha3, Elizabeth3, Rachel3, Polly3, Fannie3, and Ana3, all of whom were born in Virginia, but settled in Callaway county with their parents."

     From National Historical Co. [1884:771]: "Alexander3 A. Gray, another of the many venerable old citizens and worthy, time-honored farmers of Callaway county, was born in Virginia in 1803, and came out to this county with his parents, George and Fanny Gray, in the pioneer days of the country. His mother, who was a daughter of John Brooks, was a cousin to Elizabeth (Brooks) Hold, the mother of James and John Hold, whose sketches precede this, and was of one of the best families - the Brooks of Virginia. Alexander Gray, the subject of this sketch, was brought up to a farm life and has followed that occupation continuously from boyhood. On the 3d of June, 1835, he was married to Miss Elizabeth M. Brooks, daughter of James Brooks, a relative, who was also originally from Virginia, and who immigrated to this county in 1821. Mr. and Mrs. Gray have had nine children: Fanny4 B., born January 22, 1837; Geo. 4 W., born January 3, 1839; James4 B., born December 13, 1840; Martha4 Ann, born March 25, 1843; Elijah4, born November 1, 1845; Rachel4, born May 20, 1848; John4 H., born February 13, 1850; Elizabeth4 Harriet born in 18--, and Robert4 Asbury, born October 5, 1853. Mr. Gray has led an industrious, energetic and hard-working life, and has not only brought up his family in a most creditable manner, but has a comfortable homestead, the fruit of his own toil, to rely upon for support in his old age. His farm is comfortable and substantially improved, including a good dwelling and other buildings, and a good orchard, etc. Mr. Gray has been a church member for many years. A live well spent, both in wise and temperate living, and in industrious and intelligent labor, has brought him an age of comfort and comparative good health, and having always lived according to the old Scriptural rule: "Do good unto all men and evil unto none," - he now has the good will and venerate respect of all who know him.

     Fanny B. Gray was born on 22 January 1837 at Callaway Co., Missouri, USA.¹
     She was a witness to There was a GRAY family from Virginia that settled in Callaway County at the same time as William and Anne (Langtry) GRAY. I have not been able to find a link between William and that family. Here is the evidence on this unrelated GRAY family:

     From Bryan & Rose [1876:335]: 'GRAY. - Alexander1 Gray of Scotland, married Elizabeth Fitzhugh, and settled in Halifax county, Va. Their children were - James2, John2, Alexander2, Robert2, George2, Henry2, Elizabeth2, Mary2, and Sally2. George2 was married in 1799 to Fannie Brooks, of Virginia, and Settled in Callaway county in 1823. His children were - John3 B., Alexander3, George3 W., Martha3, Elizabeth3, Rachel3, Polly3, Fannie3, and Ana3, all of whom were born in Virginia, but settled in Callaway county with their parents."

     From National Historical Co. [1884:771]: "Alexander3 A. Gray, another of the many venerable old citizens and worthy, time-honored farmers of Callaway county, was born in Virginia in 1803, and came out to this county with his parents, George and Fanny Gray, in the pioneer days of the country. His mother, who was a daughter of John Brooks, was a cousin to Elizabeth (Brooks) Hold, the mother of James and John Hold, whose sketches precede this, and was of one of the best families - the Brooks of Virginia. Alexander Gray, the subject of this sketch, was brought up to a farm life and has followed that occupation continuously from boyhood. On the 3d of June, 1835, he was married to Miss Elizabeth M. Brooks, daughter of James Brooks, a relative, who was also originally from Virginia, and who immigrated to this county in 1821. Mr. and Mrs. Gray have had nine children: Fanny4 B., born January 22, 1837; Geo. 4 W., born January 3, 1839; James4 B., born December 13, 1840; Martha4 Ann, born March 25, 1843; Elijah4, born November 1, 1845; Rachel4, born May 20, 1848; John4 H., born February 13, 1850; Elizabeth4 Harriet born in 18--, and Robert4 Asbury, born October 5, 1853. Mr. Gray has led an industrious, energetic and hard-working life, and has not only brought up his family in a most creditable manner, but has a comfortable homestead, the fruit of his own toil, to rely upon for support in his old age. His farm is comfortable and substantially improved, including a good dwelling and other buildings, and a good orchard, etc. Mr. Gray has been a church member for many years. A live well spent, both in wise and temperate living, and in industrious and intelligent labor, has brought him an age of comfort and comparative good health, and having always lived according to the old Scriptural rule: "Do good unto all men and evil unto none," - he now has the good will and venerate respect of all who know him.

     George W. Gray was born on 3 January 1839 at Callaway Co., Missouri, USA.¹
     He was a witness to There was a GRAY family from Virginia that settled in Callaway County at the same time as William and Anne (Langtry) GRAY. I have not been able to find a link between William and that family. Here is the evidence on this unrelated GRAY family:

     From Bryan & Rose [1876:335]: 'GRAY. - Alexander1 Gray of Scotland, married Elizabeth Fitzhugh, and settled in Halifax county, Va. Their children were - James2, John2, Alexander2, Robert2, George2, Henry2, Elizabeth2, Mary2, and Sally2. George2 was married in 1799 to Fannie Brooks, of Virginia, and Settled in Callaway county in 1823. His children were - John3 B., Alexander3, George3 W., Martha3, Elizabeth3, Rachel3, Polly3, Fannie3, and Ana3, all of whom were born in Virginia, but settled in Callaway county with their parents."

     From National Historical Co. [1884:771]: "Alexander3 A. Gray, another of the many venerable old citizens and worthy, time-honored farmers of Callaway county, was born in Virginia in 1803, and came out to this county with his parents, George and Fanny Gray, in the pioneer days of the country. His mother, who was a daughter of John Brooks, was a cousin to Elizabeth (Brooks) Hold, the mother of James and John Hold, whose sketches precede this, and was of one of the best families - the Brooks of Virginia. Alexander Gray, the subject of this sketch, was brought up to a farm life and has followed that occupation continuously from boyhood. On the 3d of June, 1835, he was married to Miss Elizabeth M. Brooks, daughter of James Brooks, a relative, who was also originally from Virginia, and who immigrated to this county in 1821. Mr. and Mrs. Gray have had nine children: Fanny4 B., born January 22, 1837; Geo. 4 W., born January 3, 1839; James4 B., born December 13, 1840; Martha4 Ann, born March 25, 1843; Elijah4, born November 1, 1845; Rachel4, born May 20, 1848; John4 H., born February 13, 1850; Elizabeth4 Harriet born in 18--, and Robert4 Asbury, born October 5, 1853. Mr. Gray has led an industrious, energetic and hard-working life, and has not only brought up his family in a most creditable manner, but has a comfortable homestead, the fruit of his own toil, to rely upon for support in his old age. His farm is comfortable and substantially improved, including a good dwelling and other buildings, and a good orchard, etc. Mr. Gray has been a church member for many years. A live well spent, both in wise and temperate living, and in industrious and intelligent labor, has brought him an age of comfort and comparative good health, and having always lived according to the old Scriptural rule: "Do good unto all men and evil unto none," - he now has the good will and venerate respect of all who know him.

     Martha Ann Gray was born on 25 March 1843 at Callaway Co., Missouri, USA.¹
     She was a witness to There was a GRAY family from Virginia that settled in Callaway County at the same time as William and Anne (Langtry) GRAY. I have not been able to find a link between William and that family. Here is the evidence on this unrelated GRAY family:

     From Bryan & Rose [1876:335]: 'GRAY. - Alexander1 Gray of Scotland, married Elizabeth Fitzhugh, and settled in Halifax county, Va. Their children were - James2, John2, Alexander2, Robert2, George2, Henry2, Elizabeth2, Mary2, and Sally2. George2 was married in 1799 to Fannie Brooks, of Virginia, and Settled in Callaway county in 1823. His children were - John3 B., Alexander3, George3 W., Martha3, Elizabeth3, Rachel3, Polly3, Fannie3, and Ana3, all of whom were born in Virginia, but settled in Callaway county with their parents."

     From National Historical Co. [1884:771]: "Alexander3 A. Gray, another of the many venerable old citizens and worthy, time-honored farmers of Callaway county, was born in Virginia in 1803, and came out to this county with his parents, George and Fanny Gray, in the pioneer days of the country. His mother, who was a daughter of John Brooks, was a cousin to Elizabeth (Brooks) Hold, the mother of James and John Hold, whose sketches precede this, and was of one of the best families - the Brooks of Virginia. Alexander Gray, the subject of this sketch, was brought up to a farm life and has followed that occupation continuously from boyhood. On the 3d of June, 1835, he was married to Miss Elizabeth M. Brooks, daughter of James Brooks, a relative, who was also originally from Virginia, and who immigrated to this county in 1821. Mr. and Mrs. Gray have had nine children: Fanny4 B., born January 22, 1837; Geo. 4 W., born January 3, 1839; James4 B., born December 13, 1840; Martha4 Ann, born March 25, 1843; Elijah4, born November 1, 1845; Rachel4, born May 20, 1848; John4 H., born February 13, 1850; Elizabeth4 Harriet born in 18--, and Robert4 Asbury, born October 5, 1853. Mr. Gray has led an industrious, energetic and hard-working life, and has not only brought up his family in a most creditable manner, but has a comfortable homestead, the fruit of his own toil, to rely upon for support in his old age. His farm is comfortable and substantially improved, including a good dwelling and other buildings, and a good orchard, etc. Mr. Gray has been a church member for many years. A live well spent, both in wise and temperate living, and in industrious and intelligent labor, has brought him an age of comfort and comparative good health, and having always lived according to the old Scriptural rule: "Do good unto all men and evil unto none," - he now has the good will and venerate respect of all who know him.
