    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old family bible which belonged to the family of Jermiah or Jerimiah GRAY and his wife Pamelia CHASE of Maine. The bible provides the following records regarding the family: GRAY Family Bible 1852 Marriages: * Jermiah GRAY and Pamelia CHASE married in Topsham Dec 18 1833 by Joseph WILLIAM Esp Births: Parents * Jerimiah GRAY in Lisbon, May 3, 1809 * Pamelia GRAY in Bowdoin, Sept 4, 1808 Children * Nancy J. GRAY in Litchfield, Jan 18, 1835 * Josephine GRAY in Litchfield, Jan 18, 1835 * Rachel J. GRAY in Litchfield, July 4, 1839 * Mary I. GRAY in Litchfield, May 22, 1841 * William H. GRAY in Litchfield, Sept 24, 1845 * Winfield S. GRAY in Richmond, July 24, 1851 Deaths: * Josephine GRAY died in Litchfield, Jan 25 1837, aged 2 years I was able to locate the family in the 1860 census of Richmond, ME as follows: Jeremiah GREY, age 55, a Jeweler Pamelia GREY, age 54 Rachel J. GREY, age 21 Mary A. GREY, age 19 William H. GREY, age 15 Winfield S. GREY, age 9 In 1870 the family was stilling living in Richmond, ME with census records providing the following information regarding the family: Jeremiah GRAY, age 60, a Jeweler, born ME Permelia GRAY, age 60, Keeping House, born ME Rachel J. GRAY, age 21, born ME William H. GRAY, age 20, a Carpet Factory Worker, born ME Mary A. GRAY, age 17, born ME Winfield S. GRAY, age 16, a Hotel Porter, born ME Not sure why the age differences, guess someone couldn't count! In 1900 I was able to locate Winfield Scott GRAY in the Bath, ME census records: W. Scott GRAY, age 48, born July 1842, married 19 years, born ME, parents born ME, a Shopkeeper Sarah E. GRAY, wife, age 36, born May 1864, married 19 years, 1 child/1 living, born NY, parents born ME Robert G.

OLIVER, boarder, age 43, born Aug 1856, born ME, parents born ME, an Iron Worker I am hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to its rightful place with family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
