Hello Steve! So glad to hear from you! I too, have collected much data - mainly from other distant relatives I have met online - researching the same families. Once we "prove" our connections - we have all pretty much stayed in touch - especially when we find something new! I have been emailing a lady who is a "Gray" descendant - she is the one who has agreed that my Mary G - is most likely a Gray. We have been exchanging info for a couple of weeks now. Her name is Brenda Felder and her email has "granny" something in it. So look for it! Is it OK if I send her your email address? Fascinating about the Hurd-Grey Cemetery! I have a statement that another Taylor ancestor received from a landowner of the Hurd-Grey Cemetery who also said that there were mostly indians and blacks there - but she did say that John Taylor and Amelia Taylor were definately buried there and that Amelia was Mr. Grey's daughter. She would be my GGG Grandmother. There is many Taylors who believe Amelia is a Stafford - but they are NOT in my direct Taylor lline - and we have a few things that really point to her being a Gray/Grey. I am at work now, but am off tomorrow and will send you the things I have and put you in touch with Brenda also! Then, maybe we can all three piece this together! Have a good day!

I've had a desire to visit it for quite some time, but I've never quite managed to do so. I don't know if you're aware of the listing for the Hurd-Grey cemetery at . I also don't know accurate it may be. I've spoken to Ms. George, owner of the land on which it's supposed to be situated, on two occasions about possibly paying a visit, but each time there was a reason why we had to delay (inaccessible on one occasion due to overgrowth that needed cutting, and on the other due to recent heavy rains). I have suspicions that one of my direct Gray ancestors may have owned the land at one time. Ms. George also tells me that the cemetery holds the graves of blacks, whites and Indians, and that there are numerous unmarked graves there. I have hopes of someday discovering the graves of my two direct Gray ancestors, my GGG Grandfather Jeremiah Gray and his father John Gray. Nearly all of what I've learned on the Gray family in this area has been shared with me by others. I've focused my own scant research largely into those in my direct line in hopes of learning what I could of them and finding their graves. I'd be happy to discuss it further with you if you'd like. = Steve = -- Steve W.
