I am researching the following GRAY family and hopefully someone can help fill in some details. Thomas Gray born abt 1803 died abt 1867. Married Sarah "Sally" Davis in Wythe Co, VA on or abt December 20, 1827. Sarah is the daughter of Joseph Davis Sr. and Elizabeth James. Thomas and Sarah had the following children: James abt 1830 David abt 1832 George abt 1834 Marshall abt 1836 Matilda abt 1838 ***Mary abt 1840 Emory July 15, 1844 Sarah abt 1847 ***Mary married a James Wilcox. They had three children - Manerva abt 1869, Washington June 29, 1870 and Alice abt 1879. I am a descendant of the Washington Wilcox - Mary Carrico marriage. Mary's husband died in Antoine, AR and she took the three children back to VA. At one time she is listed on the census living on the farm with her brother Emory. I have a copy of Thomas' will (dtd 1867) and in it he mentions his daughter "Betty Wilcox". Could Betty be a nickname for Matilda? If so, who is the Wilcox that she married. I do believe that Mary Gray's husband James Wilcox had two sons from his previous marriage. James is originally from Tennessee. George E.
