• Notes. I'm not sure that Alexander M Gray is the son of James Gray & Eliza Hollingsworth Gray. Many other researchers make this connection because the name, age and location fit, but the problem is that the 1860 Federal Census shows that their child Alexandria Gray is a female. The connection here exists for further research.
Alexander married Huber Kelley, daughter of Matthew Kelley and Sarah Honeycutt, on 1 Jan 1885 in Grant Parish, LA. (Huber Kelley was born in 1857 in LA, died in 1895-1905 in Grant Parish, LA and was buried in Liberty Chapel Cemetery, Williana, Grant Parish , LA.)

From Sam Murry notes: After the death of Solomon W Murry in 1882, his widow, Huberta Kelly Murry remarried to Alexander Gray January 01, 1885 at the home of her sister, Mary (Matthew) Futrell in Grant Parish, Louisiana. They raised the two children along with three children born to their marriage.
[Two children know as Uncle Hardy Gray & Aunt Lillie Gray to niece of William Washington Murry]
