The late Bernard F. Knowles of Conyers GA stands at the far end of the Gray 
Family Cemetery in Butts Co. GA. At his feet are the walls of the fallen vault 
of Levi Newton Gray, son of Allen and Peletiah((O'Neal)Gray. Beyond the vault, 
to the right of the large pine tree(stone unseen)is the marked grave of Allen 
and "Pelly" Gray. The couple married in Butts Co. GA in November 1832. Allen 
bought this land from his father's estate in February 1833-and described the 
cemetery in his 1886 will(landlot #133/8D.-not noted). His father, James Gray 
Sr. purchased it when it was entirely in Henry Co. The lot was nearly bisected 
by the new Butts Co. line in 1825! Pelly was the daughter of Zachriah "O'Nail". 
Allen's parents were James(Sr.)and Elizabeth(Johnson)Gray, who are likely also 
buried here.
