Am seeking information on the ancestry of Daniel W. Gray of Barry Township, Pike Co IL and on the Sweet family of Pike Co.IL Daniel W.Gray was born in New York abt 1813-1813. He purchased land in Pike Co in 1837. He married Ann Sweet on 10 Dec. 1838 in Pike Co. On the 1850 census of Pike Co., Daniel W.Gray was listed as an engineer, he and Ann Sweet Gray had the following children, all born in Pike Co.: Ira Gray b. abt.1840; Sarah A.Gray b.abt. 1842: Horatio P.Gray b, abt 1845 and Roby Gray b. after 1850. Horatio P.Gray enlisted in Quincy, Pike CO, IL Feb 19, 1864. age 18. He served in Company K of the 16th regiment of the Illinois infantry during the civil war. He had "grey" eyes, light hair, was 5' 7in tall. He was discharged 8 July 1865. He moved to Ellis Co Texas and married Martha Jane Handy March 28, 1869. They later moved to Plainview Hale Co.,TX. I am descended from Horatio and Martha Jane Gray and have information on their children if anyone is interested in this line. It appears that Ann Sweet was the daughter of Job B. Sweet and Clara Jones who migrated to Pike Co from NY. I do not have any documentation on this. Any information on the Daniel W. Gray and the Sweet families would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
