Note to whom ever,

re: Milford Gray son of Abraham Gray and Mary Parks
whom had several other children, which do not include
the children of Abraham Gray and Jane Wilson, they are
of NO relations to our Gray family from Laurens, SC.

I do not appreciate anyone using my information
without my permission, I spent several years
researching MY GRAY FAMILY for the enjoyment of my
family to have and use. We are not the same family
Abraham Gray and Jane Wilson dau of Benjimen
Wilson,are from a different set of Grays, this Abraham
was born in 1790 not 1775 and was not married to Mary
Parks dau of Thomas N. Parks and Ann Brockman.

Our Abraham Gray's father is Isaac Gray and it is
believed that Isaac's father is also Isaac Gray whom
lived in Berkely Co SC in Feb 28, 1772 Isaac Gray Sen.
to Abraham Gray (wife Mary Cannon Pennington widow of
Jacob Pennington) of same for 5 shillings 200 acres on
Beaverdam Br. Witness include Isaac Gray Jr. (this is
our Isaac) Isaac Sr. was a Cordwainer (shoemaker) and
the land orig. granted to Francis Phillips and
conveyed to Isaac Gray, then to Abraham Gray. On March
16, 1808 - Jan 21, 1814 Isaac Gray yeoman to my son
Abraham Gray deed of gift of 150 acres after decease
of self and with Patty on south side of Enoree River.
States in Deed Book K, page 43 Isaac Gray to my son
Abraham Gray, not any information abt. Jeremiah Gray
being the father of our Abraham Gray.

Other Gray's in Laurens Co, SC Isabele Gray wife of
John Gray whom died in 1800. Not to be confused with
John Gray and Aisley Hiatt/Hyatt or Greene. Sale of
John's Estate and Purchasers,Isabele, James Gray,
Thomas Gray and Catherine Gray.

The records our available to everyone whom chooses to
do there own research, may take hours of your time, by
the way Feb 15, 1815 Benj. Wilson to Abraham Gray for
222.00, 111 acres on Indian Creek. Plat shows borders
on Abraham and William Gray property. It seems there
are 2 Abrahams living in 1815 your Abraham and our
Abraham.

James Gray,Will written April 23, 1800. Daughter
Elizabeth's two children, daughter Sarah's children,
Agnes Keamaghan, daughter Phebe and her son James
Cochran; sons Andrew, John, Robert, daughter Mary
Lewers (wife of Thomas Lewers)
Andrew and John Gray and Thomas Lewers qualify as
executors of the will of James Gray decd, Feb 23,
1801.

page 201 Proven June 03, 1815
Will of Benjamin Wilson, Wife Elizabeth... Daughter
Jane Gray, wife of Abraham Gray, $50.
Note: Milford was born in 1816 there is no way that
Abraham Gray husband of Mary Parks married Jane Wilson
our Abraham Gray is still having babies with Mary
Parks up until abt 1818!!!!!!!!

Will of Isaac Gray written Mar 26, 1829 and proven Mar
01, 1830. Recorded date not available. mentions many
family members and possessions, can provide copy.

When did Jeremiah Gray live in Laurens, SC??? I have
not come across him in any research before but I had
no reason to look for him either.

Whom ever started this scenario, should be ashamed.
For one they did not do any research, they pilfered
from other's, for two they are misleading honest
people. I am at fault for trusting a few individuals,
thinking that they just wanted to use for personal use
and not post it as an assumption.
