Ken:
Because I'm not sure your William H. Gray is the oldest son of my Jesse Gray who married Rhoda Brown, I thought I would give you these miscellaneous notes for additional research. Your William H. Gray may have been related to this William H. Gray of Loudoun Co, VA.
The reason I think your William belongs to my Jesse's family is that my James Gray married Elizabeth Jane Gill, sister of Anna Maria Gill.
If you are able to confirm who the parents of your William, were, I hope you will share that information.
From History of Loudoun County, Virginia:
"The election of the Loudoun County, Virginia officers was held on June 1, 1865 and the first post-war County Court was held July 10, 1865. The gentlemen justices who had been elected and commissioned by the Governor of Virginia, and who met at the Court House on that: July day, were George Abel, R. M. Bentley, Francis M. Carter, John Compher, Thomas Cost, John D. Deny, Enoch Fenton, Herod Frasier, Fenton Furr, Henry Gaver, John Grubb, Charles Manitin, Asbury M. Nixon, Basil Shoemalcer, John L. Stout, Mahlon Thomas. Lott Tavenner, Henry S. Taylor, Michael Wiard, John Woolford, Thomas Burr Williams, James M. Wallace and WILLIAM H. GRAY.
WILLIAM H. GRAY (1805-1880) was selected Presiding Justice. The fact that GRAY was elected is rather remarkable, as he was a supporter of the Confederate government. It must be taken as a tribute to him and shows the esteem in which he was generally held."

Looking for information on ABRAHAM HEWETT, JACOB HEWETT, THOMAS W. HEWETT who were buying and selling property in Leesburg, Loudoun Co., VA from 1838 thru 1859. Other parties involved in the land transactions were CHAS. A. JOHNSON; JOS. HILLIARD; WM. H. GRAY; ROBERT W. GRAY; JAS McILHANY; JOSEPH T. WYNKOOP. ABRAHAM HEWETT was my ggg-grandfather.
