Abstracts of GRAY family in Campbell/Bedford, VA: The following GRAY men, (whose abstracts are below) are sons of George GRAY, I and his wife, Mary STROTHER (dau of James Lawrence STROTHER and Margaret FRENCH). I am descended from Captain George Weedon GRAY, eldest son of George and Mary S GRAY, but I am now researching the other sons, as I believe my GRAY family in Hardin/Meade Co, KY is from the same line of GRAYs.
