In a search on Ancestry.com for GRAYs and McCRADYs in North Carolina, I note that there are a number of McGRADY marriages. My ggg-grandmother was Martha Ann McCRADY, supposedly born in Tennessee about 1814. I have no idea who her parents were or where they came from. There are no McCRADYs that I have been able to find still living there. Martha McCRADY married James A. GRAY (b. 1814 in Halifax Co. VA) in Williamson Co. TN in 1837. In reading copies of abstracts from old newspapers in that county, the death of an Andrew McCRADY was mentioned, as was the marriage of Dorcas McCRADY in about 1835. I cannot determine if these are related to Martha or anything about their families. On the chance that there is any knowledge of McGRADY in Wilkes County, I am hoping that someone can provide any information at all about this family or families, especially if any of them migrated to Tennessee in the early 1800's. Thank you very much. Martha Federle Swannanoa, NC
