Message Board Post:
I am at a brick wall about an Elizabeth Gray, born c. 1801 in Kentucky. Family history
says that she is the daughter of David Gray of Ireland who is buried in Franklin Co., In.
I have no proof. Also said is that she married John Dickerson. Her daughter is Samantha
Gray Dickerson (married to John Palmer.) Elizabeth appears in the 1850 census in Ripley
County as Elizabeth Gray with Samantha, Juliane and David Gray. She is also in the 1860
and 1870 census as Elizabeth Gray. Julie Ann appears in both with younger children. It
is unknown if they are hers or her mothers. In none of the census does an older man
appear who would be in a husband or father's position. I have seen the name Roland
Gray associated with Julie Ann, but no proof. Andrew and Irville Gray appear in the 1870
census as teens and pre teens. I have found them in subsequent Ripley census. If anyone
in Ripley County has knowledge of any of these people I sure hope you can help me.
