15. Isaac Gray
I'm showing the Isaac Gray that has these children as having been born in TN. I may have the wrong Isaac Gray. His parents were married in KY. How would he be born in TN? His birthdate matches with this marriage record, and with the census records. There are MANY Isaac Gray's in Caldwell and Lyon Counties in Kentucky.
Daughter of Mary Howard and Owen Howard. Mary Howard later married Crittenden Armstrong and had Mary Francis Armstrong.
60. Thomas P Gray
From the Lyon County Rootsweb Board:
Princeton Twice-A-Week Leader
Princeton, Ky.
1934NOTE: No dates, obit was found on page with other 1934 obits .
Mr. T.P. Gray died suddenly at his home in Tuscalossa, Alabama, Thursday morning at eight o’clock following a thirty-minute illness. Death is believed to have been due to heart failure.
Mr. Gray was formerly a resident of Lyon County and was very prominent in public affairs, having at one time held the office of county judge. For fifteen years he was a resident of Selma, Alabama, after leaving the home of his birth and in the last few years has resided at Tuscaloosa. Little more than a week ago he and Mrs. Gray were called to this city upon the death of his sister, Mrs. Frank I. Brown, and at that time seemed to be in the best of health.
Besides his wife the deceased is survived by several children, among whom is Mrs. Alvin Hall, of Eddyville; two sisters, Mrs. R. C. Butts, of Louisville, Ky., and Mrs. Charles Gresham, of Eddyville; one brother, I. H. Gray, of Smithland.
Funeral and interment occurred in Selma, Alabama.
**Add’l. Info from personal files of Frank Hunter.**
Thomas Parker Gray, son of Isaac Gray and Mary (Gore) Gray, had a brother, Isaac Herbert Gray. T. P. Gray married Adelia Nabb, one of their daughters was Mary Hellen, or Hellen Mary Gray, who married Alvin L. Hall, (as noted in obit). Alvin died in 1988, and Hellon died in 1999. Another daughter Marjorie, married Charles S. Chandler.
