He was first married to Levinia S. Graham and second Ruth Catherine Steele. All are buried in the cemetery at Prospect Presbyterian Church in Mooresville, NC. I am trying to find the parents of Hugh Milas Gray. I believe he was called Milas Gray. Hugh Milas Gray and Levinia S. Graham were the parents of my G-Grandmother, Caroline Josephine Gray. Anyone researching this Gray line?? >> Hello Dan and Iva, This sounds as though you could be a descendant of the Grays of Isle of Wight, Virginia. Some of those Grays intermarried with a Wills family there, who utilized very frequently the given name of Miles, sometimes spelled Mills and Milas, probably by the clerks of court who could murder the spelling of many names.
