Alistair, Do you know how many William Grays went to Canada? A lot. And he could have started out as a lumberjack and did something else later. Plus there was a lot of movement back and forth between Canada and the US. Any chance you have his exact birthdate? I did find one who became an American citizen in Massachusetts, and he had a birthdate of 3 June 1886 in Forfar--and that could have perhaps referred to the county?
