Notes for: John GRAY
Looks as though Beulah Ann McCollester was John Gray's 2nd wife (note name spelt GRAY not GREY). On counting back from later census returns where she states she had 7 children, it is clear that they are all hers except for Cynthia and that the enumerator put her down as Ruby rather than Beulah in 1860. The first wife's name Ruana in 1850.
