Sorry, I think Joshua Grayson married Susan McClain and Joshua's father was also a Joshua married to Polly Carah.

Rebecca Grayson Charles

codecu05 — 2009-11-01 22:25:43Z

Looking for info on Rebecca Grayson Charles. I have no info on her parents. She was born 8/18/1849 in either Morgan or Bath Co., KY. I may have stumbled upon her parents being Joshua Grayson born in 1823 in Bath Co. but looking to verify. I believe he was married to a Polly Carah. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Rose Emma Grayson Cox

dgenehunt — 2009-11-01 00:07:14Z

Rose and her husband Lemuel Cox were my great-grandparents. I'm seeking any info on Rose's childhood, as I've learned she was raised by Armilda Frisby and her husband George Franklin Gose. I have reason to believe her mother, Mary Ann Gose Grayson Thomas, may have died when Rose was eight. Rose herself, according to my mother, would not talk about her past, and only mentioned that her ancestry included native Americans. I've noticed many Graysons among native tribes. If you can help me with more information, I'd be so grateful.

Re: ANN GRAYSON/JAMES MARK Ireland/Canada

JONESHAW — 2009-09-02 04:34:16Z

Best I can suggest is reading the older listings here. Some have information on Graysons in Armagh.
Have you tried pilot etc for possible births of whom you are looking for? Not that many Graysons in Ieland. when
I googled my great great aunt Margaret Oughton, and came up with her marriage to John Grayson Gorey then pilot had his middle name. My John James Grayson b 1858 and father John from Balrothery but too many John to pick which one he might be.
But I have not found much past that.
Hopfully you will get some more helpful repies than mine.
Good luck from Australia!

ANN GRAYSON/JAMES MARK Ireland/Canada

luella175 — 2009-08-31 22:18:58Z

I'm leaving for Ireland in Sept '09--going to County Armagh (Armagh) to find any further info on Ann Grayson b.29 Apr 1827. Also going to County Antrim (Faranacushog)to seek further information on James Mark b. 12 Oct 1812. They married in Farancushog on 12 Oct 1843. Any helps/hints/etc. on this quest would certainly be appreciated as I've never been there before. Also, James was a Presbyterian and Ann was Methodist--where would these records be found since the Roman Catholic Church held most of the information? I know that he and some of his siblings immigrated to East Hawksbury, Canada.I have the genealogical information down to my generation but nothing previously back from James Mark/Ann Grayson.

Captain John Grayson Gorey Wexford

Eldest son John James Grayson married Margaret Oughton 1885
Margaret was from Clomel born abt 1860
Children include
Florence b 1886
Jack Henry b 1897 died france WWI
Evelyn b 1889

I can not find any marriages for these siblings or any sign of the next generation.
Is there any family out there who could help me with this?
I would love to hear from any Oughton descendants or John James obviously had siblings so may be some contacts there?
I have Margaret's parent's who are my Gr GR Grandparents.

Ambrose Grayson of Spotsylvania Co., VA

stemmatis — 2009-07-10 16:36:15Z

Looking for documentary evidence related to the children of Ambrose Grayson, son of John Grayson (d 1735 OS).

Ambrose Grayson had three brothers who appear in land records, court records, church records or estate records -- Thomas Grayson (eldest son & heir of John), Benjamin, and John Junr.

Ambrose made his will on 6 or 16 Sep 1742, naming his brother Benjamin as an executor. As to children, the will names only four sons. John Grayson was devised land, which would go to his brother Benjamin if he died without issue. Later land records show that he conveyed that land. Ambrose Grayson also was devised land, and if he died without issue, the land went to his brother Thomas. (In the case of Ambrose, he did die unmarried and without issue, his oral will directing that the land go to Thomas, and the rest of his estate to his unmarried brothers and sisters.)
The residue of the estate (subject to the life estate of the widow) was to be divided equally among his sons and daughters (distribution to sons at 21, daughters at 18 or marriage). Ambrose most unhelpfully neglected to name the other children.

The will was probated 6 Mar 1743/4, and on 3 Jul 1744 his widow posted a guardian bond for John & Ambrose Grayson orphans of Ambrose Grayson. There is no record of a bond for any other child. The implication of this fact is that those two sons were the only children then under the age of 21. No other child was a minor and unmarried.

WHAT EVIDENCE SHOWS THE AGES OF PERSONS GENERALLY REPORTED AS CHILDREN OF AMBROSE GRAYSON?

WHAT EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT THOSE PERSONS WERE HIS CHILDREN? (as opposed to children of one of his brothers)

Names most often seen (but not in will): Alice, William, Susannah, Ann, Reuben, Elizabeth, Richard

BSchiedler6573 — 2008-07-07 17:14:10Z

I am trying to find the parents of Joel Grayson b 23 Jul 1777 I think in Madison Co VA In a Page Co bible it states Joel son of William son of Ambrose. Ambrose's William M Anne Smith & they had six children none named Joel. I have Joel's mother as Eleanor Sanford. I have Joel's wife & children & he died in Page Co. Bette

Re: GRAYSON, Joel

BSchiedler6573 — 2008-07-08 18:48:00Z

I too have the same six names. Joel's siblings were William, Thomas, Judith, Susannah, Mildred m Edward Hood of Madison Co. & Joel. In the book "History of Washington Co. Maryland" by T. C. Williams on pages #1292 & 1293 has Joel's children & grandchildren & he wrote "Joel Grayson" why when Joel was born in Madison Co VA & lived & died in Page Co VA is listed in a book on MD is a puzzle. I only have a copy of the two pages so maybe there is a reason. Bette

pdsain — 2008-08-22 12:36:04Z

I am not related to this family and not sure if you posted to Grayson county because of the Surname or if they lived in this county ? I do not find anything about them in Grayson county.

Following info from Texas Rootsweb Project and Ancestry. com census records.

Grayson, Daniel Lowell 4-26-1928, Cooke Co...no death record found
Grayson, Billie Marie 4-18-1929, Cooke Co
Grayson, "male" 7-12-1931, Donley Co...no death record found for this male
Parents: Alma Pearl Elliott - Daniel B. Grayson

Caldwell, Ruby Jewel 8-13-1945, Dallas Co
Parents: Hatie Mae Shampie - J W Caldwell
...could be misread info and name is Katie Mae Shampie ?

There were several Ruby Caldwell's born in Texas.

?
Shampie, Katie Mae 10-13-1928, Brazos Co
Frances Jones - Si Shampie....family not in 1930 census.

These are the only 2 items in Rootsweb with reference to SHAMPIE

Ruby Caldwell Grayson was 14 when Theresa was born ?

1) Theresa Ann Grayson - b:Feb.17,1959 Dallas County TX.
2) Daniel Lee Grayson - b:Mar.4,1964, Dallas County, TX...record says JR.
3) Unknown Grayson - b:Dec.3,1964, Dallas County, TX, female.
Infant of Daniel Grayson d. 12-3-1964, Dallas County, female.
4) Frederick Earl Grayson - b:Apr.12,1967, Dallas County
5) Linda Ruth Grayson - b:Sept.11,1972, Dallas County.

A Frederick Earl Grayson died in Dallas county 2 days after the above was born but is not in SS death index...could be same person.

I have found a matching Daniel B Grayson from KS...all is speculation except for known facts about Pearl and her family.

Death of Claude A. Grayson, Mobile, AL 1958

charbmoore3 — 2008-07-05 13:09:23Z

From the Mobile, Alabama Newspaper

Saturday, July 5, 1958

"Presiding Judge Claude A. Grayson of the Mobile Circuit Court died at 6:45 p.m. yesterday at a local hospital. He had been in failing health for some time." He was 76, and had been a Mobile County circuit judge since 1917. The youngest of 13 children, he received his law degree from the University of Alabama. He came to Mobile in 1906, and had served in the State House of Representatives. He was a member of Government Street Presbyterian Church.
