General Notes: Husband - Robert Gray


He served in the war of the Revolution, and was with the half-starved and illy-clad army of Washington during the cantonment at Valley Forge. His stories of the hardships endured during the struggle for Independence were sadly interesting. He lived a long and honorable life, and was the last of that gallant band of the heroes of "Seventy-Six," in his locality.
