In the early censuses--1800 through 1840--the question was asked, how many slaves. If you look at those and find a Gray with some slaves listed, then you'll have your person. But I looked on my road atlas and couldn't find a town with the name Elton in KY, so it must be one of those small towns that died out. Or, if you belong to AAA you could get a map of KY which might show more than my atlas does. If I can be of any more help, email me.
