You might start there to look for your slave holder named Gray. Also, last night while looking at some copies of records I have for my own research, I came across this: "Drakeford Gray, 5/15/1780, 461 acres page A54". This is Jefferson Land Entries from a book called Fincastle & Kentucky County VA.-KY Records and History Vol 1, by Cook Publications of Evansville, IN. If you have a good genealogy library nearby you might find this. Anyway, this means that Gray purchased a large amount of land so he likely had slaves. So you might check him out in census records. By the way, Kentucky originally was one big county belonging to Virginia.
