until 110). He was married three times, the last time to Kary owe) Stevens
and had bairid !owe Grayson.
Me Is said to have keen the son of Thomas Grayson of North Carolina. He no
doubt telonged to a line of the Graysons of Va. I find a George id. Srayson who
had a son George A, in Tglerts aarterly (~a) and in Historical Collections
of Va. Vol. IX. p 210 I find George Lc'. as a son of Col. 'vJm. Grayson, who left
a son PJeorge w'. but no further data on the names. Cemee, the son of Col. #villiarn
Grayson was ITcf Fauquder Co, and died tefore 1F32, leaving issue.It
