Joseph Gray was born Dec. 30, 1826, in Maryland, son of Joseph and Mary 
(Fairbank) Gray; they were also natives of Maryland. When about eight years of 
age his parents emigrated to Wayne County, Ind., settling on Simon's Creek, 
where his father followed farming till he moved to the town of Milton where he 
died. His wife died on Simon's Creek in 1874. Joseph learned the trade of 
carriage making when about eighteen years of age, and in connection with his 
older brother, James, worked at that occupation in Milton about six years. 
After his father's death he and his brother James bought the home farm, which 
they carried on some five years when he disposed of his interest to his 
brother and bought a farm south of Dublin where he was engaged in farming and 
dealing in stock about twenty-one years. He rented his farm in the spring of 
1876, since which he has resided in Dublin. His farm contains 208 acres of 
valuable land which he has obtained by perseverance and industry. He was 
married in 1855, to Elizabeth A., daughter of Gideon and Catherine Myers, the 
former a native of Pennsylvania and the latter born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 
1804. Mr. Gray and wife have a family of four children---Mary M., Charles D., 
Joseph H. and Viola. Mr. and Mrs. Gray are members of the United Brethren 
church of Dublin.
