I do not appreciate anyone using my information without my permission, I spent several years researching MY GRAY FAMILY for the enjoyment of my family to have and use. We are not the same family Abraham Gray and Jane Wilson dau of Benjimen Wilson,are from a different set of Grays, this Abraham was born in 1790 not 1775 and was not married to Mary Parks dau of Thomas N. Parks and Ann Brockman. Our Abraham Gray's father is Isaac Gray and it is believed that Isaac's father is also Isaac Gray whom lived in Berkely Co SC in Feb 28, 1772 Isaac Gray Sen. to Abraham Gray (wife Mary Cannon Pennington widow of Jacob Pennington) of same for 5 shillings 200 acres on Beaverdam Br. Witness include Isaac Gray Jr. (this is our Isaac) Isaac Sr. was a Cordwainer (shoemaker) and the land orig. granted to Francis Phillips and conveyed to Isaac Gray, then to Abraham Gray. On March 16, 1808 - Jan 21, 1814 Isaac Gray yeoman to my son Abraham Gray deed of gift of 150 acres after decease of self and with Patty on south side of Enoree River. States in Deed Book K, page 43 Isaac Gray to my son Abraham Gray, not any information abt. Jeremiah Gray being the father of our Abraham Gray. Other Gray's in Laurens Co, SC Isabele Gray wife of John Gray whom died in 1800. Not to be confused with John Gray and Aisley Hiatt/Hyatt or Greene. Sale of John's Estate and Purchasers,Isabele, James Gray, Thomas Gray and Catherine Gray. The records our available to everyone whom chooses to do there own research, may take hours of your time, by the way Feb 15, 1815 Benj. Wilson to Abraham Gray for 222.00, 111 acres on Indian Creek. Plat shows borders on Abraham and William Gray property. It seems there are 2 Abrahams living in 1815 your Abraham and our Abraham. James Gray,Will written April 23, 1800. Daughter Elizabeth's two children, daughter Sarah's children, Agnes Keamaghan, daughter Phebe and her son James Cochran; sons Andrew, John, Robert, daughter Mary Lewers (wife of Thomas Lewers) Andrew and John Gray and Thomas Lewers qualify as executors of the will of James Gray decd, Feb 23, 1801. page 201 Proven June 03, 1815 Will of Benjamin Wilson, Wife Elizabeth... Daughter Jane Gray, wife of Abraham Gray, $50. Note: Milford was born in 1816 there is no way that Abraham Gray husband of Mary Parks married Jane Wilson our Abraham Gray is still having babies with Mary Parks up until abt 1818!!!!!!!! Will of Isaac Gray written Mar 26, 1829 and proven Mar 01, 1830. Recorded date not available. mentions many family members and possessions, can provide copy. When did Jeremiah Gray live in Laurens, SC??? I have not come across him in any research before but I had no reason to look for him either. Whom ever started this scenario, should be ashamed. For one they did not do any research, they pilfered from other's, for two they are misleading honest people. I am at fault for trusting a few individuals, thinking that they just wanted to use for personal use and not post it as an assumption. Julia L. Gray Stepp
