His father, John Gray, was a native of Burke County, North Carolina, and a son of William Gray, a native of England, who, about fifteen years before the Revolutionary War, emigrated to America and settled in North Carolina. He became a soldier in that glorious war, and was killed in the surrender of Furguson, at King's Mountain.

    John Gray, after the Revolution, moved to Rockingham County, Virginia, and married Mary Trumbo. In 1802, he moved to Clark, and in 1815 to Lawrence County, Indiana, where he died in 1861. He was a soldier of the War of 1812, and the father of ten children - William, Wesley, Dorothy, Lydia, Jacob, Charles, Ephraim, James, Elizabeth and Hamilton.

    William was married November 15, 1821, in Lawrence County, Indiana, to Miss Sarah Cobb, born in South Carolina June 9, 1803.
