English Ancestors Found!

94 words.

Thanks to a chance encounter with FamilySearch.org, the LDS genealogy web site, I was able to document some more of my ancestors. This particular branch of ancestors comes from my great-grandmother Matilda Gray’s branch. (Individual I469 on my genealogy page.) I located a bunch of previously unknown information on the ancestry of her father’s parents, Joseph P. Gray and Martha Elizabeth Baker. The Grays appear to have originated in London, England before boating over to Virginia sometime around 1750-1770. At least I assume they used a boat. You never know with those Grays, though.
