Notes about Edward Gray

Edward Gray, with his brother Thomas, came to Plymouth, Mass., in 1643. His baptism, April 15, 1623, is recorded in Stapleford, Tawney, Eng. He was
Freeman May 29, 1670; on the Grand Jury, 1671; Deputy four years, 1676 to 1679, inclusive. The oldest stone on Burial Hill reads as follows:
"Here lyeth ye body of Edward Gray, Gent, aged about 52 years, and departed this life ye last of June, 1681."
This stone is roughly made of a common blue native slate, rudely cut and carved. It does not give his age in harmony with the recorded baptismal date.
He married, second, Dorothy, the daughter of Thomas and Ann Lettice.
Their son, Samuel Gray, died March 23, 1712; will dated March 20, and proved April 7, 1712. He married, July 13, 1699, Deborah, the daughter of Joseph and Mary (Tucker) Church. Their daughter Lydia married Joseph, the son of William and Elizabeth (Tompkins) Ladd.
