General Notes: Husband - David Gray


About the time of the Revolutionary War three brothers, of Scotch-Irish descent, came from England to America. They were William and David Gray, and their brother, whose name is no longer of record. The tradition is that David Gray, who had settled with his brothers in what is now Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, while clearing a farm from the dense forests in that section, was captured by the Indians and tied to a tree while they deliberated what should be done with him. They finally decided to carry him into their camp, which they did, and the story goes that he married a squaw, but further than that nothing is related of him. [GPHWP, 1209]
