Hi Joe,
Very interesting that your Sledge apparently died in Williamson Co. Also that your James migrated to Lauderdale Co.
The James Gray in my original query had a son named Young A. Gray. He migrated from Williamson Co. to Lawrence Co., AL about 1819. He was a doctor.
I know very little about Young's brother, James M. Gray. He was a minor in 1809 when his father's will was executed. William Dickson/Dickerson was named guardian of his estate in the will. This James M. Gray was also named in the will of his grandfather, Young McLemore, in 1803 in Williamson Co. Young left James M. (referred to as James McK Gray in the will) two slaves: Abram and Furry [sic?].
When James M's sister, Sally L. R. Gray died circa 1813 in Williamson Co., James bought three horses from her estate. In 1814, he witnessed the will of his other sister, Lucy Davis Gray Kearney, in Williamson Co. In 1818, James was sued by the administrators of Stephen Spain for some debt owned.
I'm giving you all this data in case there is some clue in it for you.
After going through some of the Williamson Co. records, I believe there were at least two Gray families in the area about the same time. I've found no connection between these two families. That said, I think there was at least one other James Gray in the county at the same time as James M. Gray.
I hope there is something of help here. I'm continuing to research the Grays in Williamson Co. and will also look for the Sledge surname in case there is a connection. Will let you know what I find.
Catherine
