Hi Maggie - Close, but that is one generation earlier than my John Gray, b. 1784 who married Monroe Co., VA(WV) to Susannah Thompson, daughter of James & Temperance 'Tempe' (Mooney) Thompson, who all came to Ohio ca 1816. My John died in 1855, and is buried at Watkins, Millcreek Twp., Union Co., OH. Possibly same clan though as the family you cite. I have a list of many John Gray's, born ca 1780-1790 from PA, VA, WV & OH but none fit. Thanks anyway.
