25. John C Gray

Family members told me that John C Gray married Alcee Stephens. There is a marriage listed in Caldwell County for J C Gray and Miss A A Stevenson on 24 Jan 1892 with the consent of the bride's parent: J M Stevenson. Is this the same J C Gray? In the 1900 Caldwell County census, there is: John C Gray married 7 years, age 31, born in KY with wife Allice A born August 1873 age 26, born KY and children: Olivia (daughter born July 1893, age 6), Kitten B (daughter born August 1896, age 3) and Loice (daughter born Nov 1898, age 1). If this is the same John C Gray, then he DIDN'T die before 1900. In Asher Cemetery in Caldwell County, there is a John C Gray 1869-1939 buried next to Ariena Alice Gray 1872-1928.

In the 1880 census, there is the following:
J M Stevenson M W 32 KY Farmer KY KY
S M Stevenson Wife W 31 KY Keeping House KY KY
M B Stevenson daughter Female W 12 KY at Home KY KY
F M Stevenson Son Male W 8 KY KY KY
