    3. Alexander Donald's will didn't mention James Gray or his wife. However, if James died in 1801 and if his wife had also died, they wouldn't have been mentioned. It seems rather likely that James was a brother of Andrew and Robert, both of whom married daughters of Alexander Donald, and he could have married another daughter (if so, she may have been just Elizabeth since Mary Donald was the wife of Andrew Gray). Archibald Douglass was named in the will. Phoebe could have been his cousin or he might have been a grandson by marriage. Item, I give to my Grandson Archibald Douglass One Negro man called Isack and the half of the tract of land lying at Bever Creek in Fairfield County conveyed to me from Fr. Hopkins. Item, I give to my Great Grandson Donald Douglass the Other part of my land lying in Fairfield County on Bever Creek and One Negro Woman Called Cloe and Negro Boy Called Harry And One Feather bed and furniture. Elaine Oakes > Phoebe Gray's father was James Gray (RN=4895) and was born in 1725. He died in 1801 in Laurens, SC. Her mother may have been Mary Elizabeth McDonald. It could be Donald. >Phoebe and Daniel's daughter was M. Elizabeth Cochran (RN=127) she was born in 1776, married Archibald Douglas (RN=126) in 1791
