A few times now I have gone back to the family tree of Henry Gray & Sarah Hardin/Harding. It has been suggested, even recorded as truth by several people also doing genealogy research on this family, that Capt Jesse is their son. That I do not believe ... mainly because the dates don't match up. Their son Jesse was born in 1738. My Capt Jesse was born closer to 1760. But that doesn't mean he's not in the next generation. Henry's brother, Richard, was the father of James Samuel Gray, who married Mary Mangum, cousin to Sarah and Mary Mangum that married two of Capt Jesse's sons. There isn't a lot of information readily available on the rest of Henry Gray's family, the descendants of his brothers.
Looking at Capt Jesse's own family, his first son is James. James married one of the Mangum girls, and his first two sons are Henry and William. He has another son named James F Gray ... I don't know what the F was for, but I think I should find out.
I think for now I'll focus on that ... try to find more information on them all and see where it leads me.......
