Mr. Poole,

William Powell Gray was my great, great grandfather. Apparently his second wife, Martha Emily Jones, was pregnant with my great grandfather, William Ernest Gray, when her husband was murdered, allegedly. W.E. Gray migrated to Crowley, La. in the 1890's and had 7 children, the descendants of whom are spread from New York to California.

I have the account of the massacre by LT Howard and have become obsessed with any information I can get my hands on. I have seen a reference to a book. If you could tell me where/ how to obtain this, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thomas C. Gray
