I AM RESEARCHING JOHN GRAY, MY G-G-GRANDFATHER. WHAT I KNOW OF HIM IS THAT HE WAS BORN APPROX 1837 IN ENGLAND, WAS A BODY GUARD FOR QUEEN VICTORIA, CAME TO AMERICA IN 1859, MARRIED (H)ANNA VAN BRUNT IN NY, HOMESTEADED IN DAKOTA TERRITORY IN 1880'S, WAS A BLACKSMITH IN MILLTOWN DAKOTA TERRITORY, THEN MOVED TO NAPA, ST HELENA CA IN THE LATE 1880'S TO EARLY 1900'S.
HE HAD 2 DAUGHTERS: EUNICE WHO MARRIED FRANK FANSLOW IN SOUTH DAKOTA, AND JENNIE NO INFORMATION KNOWN. IT IS POSSIBLE JENNIE MARRIED A CATTLEMEN FROM TEXAS.
JOHN ALSO FOUGHT IN THE CIVIL WAR AND WAS HELD PRISONER IN ANDERSONVILLE.
I MAY HAVE A PHOTO OF JOHN AND ANNA ON THEIR WEDDING DAY.
I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION ON JOHN OR ANY FAMILY MENTIONED. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME AND INFORMATION.
