I see it has been awhile since there have been messages about Jesse Gray but I am his ggggg grandaughter. I have been searching for a copy of the manuscript that you are talking about by Sam Ginger for a long time.
I have a copy of a manuscript that was written by my gg grandma Bertha Angeline Gray b Jan 22 1879 in Bala, Kansas and d Feb 26 1963 about her ggrandfather Jesse Gray. Her father was George W Gray b Sept 28 1849 and d Aug 24 1963 he was the son of John Wesley Gray b May 19 1826 and d in 1910. and he was the son of the Jesse Gray we speak about. Her manuscript is a story of Jesse Gray from stories that were told to her from her Grandpa Wesley. She loved sitting and listening to the stories he told her so much so that she wrote them down in hopes to have a book published but died before that ever happened.
Would you be interested in sharing copies of the manuscripts?
