GRAYSON GZlJEALOGY NZSJSLETYER V.OLUPE 2 No, 2 Page 28, Howard E. <strong>Grayson</strong> of Alexandria, Va. has written in response to one of the Sodens' postcard <strong>Grayson</strong> surveys; Be states tnat his great grandfather was Jesse or Jessie Gr~:~son, born in lT.C, probably in 1811 whose wife was I~iargaret, born in l'enn. about 1816; children of Jesse and lglargaret were William <strong>Grayson</strong> born Feb,, 1834 in Ill; 2 sons b, in mid-1830's-in No,; Eioch -- ,cone *a- G r a y s b, ~ ~ 18b3 in then Scott coo, now Logan COO, Ark, i~owsrd E. <strong>Grayson</strong> and his brother Ralph <strong>Grayson</strong> are grandsons of Enoch <strong>Grayson</strong>, and are sons of Albert <strong>Grayson</strong> who was b. in Sebastian co,, Ark Jan. 1894, Howard <strong>Grayson</strong> knows cf "hundreds of descendants of Jesse ~rayson"znd thinks the family is of Scotch descent, Jesse died in the "early 1850'~~~, Howard thinks that Jesse was related to the <strong>Grayson</strong>s of Wilkes co., N.C., but needs proof. Ed note: I think that the above Jesse <strong>Grayson</strong> nust be either a son of Jesse <strong>Grayson</strong> who bought land in Wilkes COO, N.C. in 1796, or one of his nephews; for example, the Jesse <strong>Grayson</strong> born in 1811 could be the son of Jesse <strong>Grayson</strong>, ST., or one of the senior's brothers, John <strong>Grayson</strong>, Benjamin <strong>Grayson</strong>, js,, orrof William <strong>Grayson</strong>, (but not the son of Joseph Gragson or of Wren <strong>Grayson</strong>, since we know the children of these 2 brothers, and there is no Jesse.) <strong>The</strong> Jesse <strong>Grayson</strong> in Ill. in 1834 above is possibly a different Jesse <strong>Grayson</strong> from the Jesse Gsayson who witnessed a deed with a Hu~h G~i.,yson, Bk. C, p, 328 Deeds of Marion coo. Feb 11 1835, Ecn,janin F. Grnysorl to Hen.ry - <strong>Grayson</strong> ( T ~ ) ~ $330,00/ 106 acres on SE side of Sequatchle ~ i v Yhc g ~ above ~ .Benjamin F. and Henry <strong>Grayson</strong> were sons of Joseph Gm, brother to the Jesse <strong>Grayson</strong>, sr,, mentioned above. See page 41 of this letter for- more on Jesse <strong>Grayson</strong>, Does any reader have listed a Jesse <strong>Grayson</strong> born about 18111 Another Soden postcard produced a letter from Mrs. Naomi <strong>Grayson</strong> Smith of Box 24, Louin, Niss, 33338, with some fragmentary but interesting family history, She writes, It<strong>The</strong>re were 3 <strong>Grayson</strong> brothers whose father was Rube <strong>Grayson</strong>, who was known as Squire <strong>Grayson</strong>, who came from England to S.C., then to Ga, on to i~Iiss,. at Stonesiall, PIiss. <strong>The</strong>ir names were Saauel, Cam, and LeeOi1Sainuel <strong>Grayson</strong> lived in La., and Tex, Cam and Lee in Miss. Cam had 12 children, Lee had 22 children, among whoa were Joe, Dick, Tom, Pete, Brown, George, Sallie, and Clairborn, Clairborn begot kip1 Taylor <strong>Grayson</strong>, Ophelia <strong>Grayson</strong> Shoemaker, Richard Rosie <strong>Grayson</strong> aoyd, Monroe, Ollie, Ora, B Troy, William begot Wm Curtis <strong>Grayson</strong>, STo, Nettie <strong>Grayson</strong> Thompson, Etta <strong>Grayson</strong> Blackwell, Saauel Jo, Burtie, and the writer, Iiaomie <strong>Grayson</strong> Smith.
I Page 29. Page 29. What is of interest above is the naae Rube Gravson, ,- It >rould appear that the name Rube is probably anichame f'or the naxe Reuben. On page 30 is our listing of all horm Reuben Graysans. Does anyone know anything that would further identify EIrs. Smithi s Reuben <strong>Grayson</strong> Note to Cheryl <strong>Grayson</strong> in Savannah, Ga,: could you possibly visit iiIrs. Joiin !j.
