GRAY, a prominent citizen and native of Polk Township, was born November 18, 1818, being the sixth child in a family of nine children born to Samuel and Catherine (McKinley) Gray, who were both natives of Kentucky, where their marriage took place. They came to this State in the year 1812, and settled on the farm now owned and occupied by our subject. Daniel remained at home and assisted his parents on the farm until he attained his majority, and received what was for those days a good common school education in the primitive log schoolhouses of his time. November 15, 1841, his marriage with Martha A. Overton was solemnized, and to their union nine children were born, of which these six are now living: David C., who married Caroline Terrell; Samuel H., whose wife was Dora Elrod; James P., whose consort was Harriet Crow; Franklin P., who married Ada Burns; Charles B., and Martha E., wife of Joseph W. Elrod. Our subject's occupation has always been farming, and he has been quite successful, as he now owns 324 acres of well improved land. He is a member of the Masonic fraternity. April 2, 1878, Mr. Gray suffered loss by the death of his beloved wife. In politics he is a stanch Democrat and he takes a good live interest in the political affairs of the county in which he lives. He is the present incumbent of the office of County Commissioner. ============================================================= From: Lonnie Fink Subject: Identification of Unknown Co, Ky biography Date: Sunday, August 16, 1998 Hi The bio above is from Shelby Co,KY Shelby Co, KY marriages Samuel GRAY md Caty McKINLEY, dau of Wm McKINLEY 13-jul-1807 bondsman James McKINLEY ============================================================= ***************************************************************************** USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free genealogical information on the Internet, data may be freely used for personal research and by non-commercial entities as long as this message remains on all copied material.
