Peletiah O'Neal was born January 25, 1815, perhaps in Putnam Co. GA. Her father 
was Zachariah O'Neal-spelled O'Nail in early records. In February 1822, he 
purchased land in Henry Co. This lot(# 249/1D.)was taken into Butts Co. in 
1825. Peletiah's mother may have been Sarah O'Neal who died December 9, 1832
(Gray Family Bible records). In 1823, a Sarah O’Neal had been a charter member 
of the local church-Sardis Baptist. Peletiah’s name is found spelled in several 
different ways; this one is Biblical. On the tombstone it is “Pellytyre”, but 
in Sardis Church minutes, she is simply “Pelly Gray". In November 1832, she had 
married Allen Gray, son of James Gray Sr. and Elizabeth(Johnson)Gray in 
November 1832. They lived most of their married lives on lot #133/8D., land 
that Allen had purchased from his father's estate in February 1833. They died 
two days apart, and are buried on that lot in the Gray Family Cemetery. This 
large, undated portrait(image approx. 16" x 20")was passed down to her great 
grandchildren; unmarried siblings, the late Emory and Alice Piper of Henry Co.
