The next 7 pages (PP, 32 through 38)are from J.
Wendell Graj:, of Versailles, Hy,.l'he letter and 3 family group
sheets are fron a Dzvid Grayson -- which resulted from Wendell's
contact with Wrs. Walter L'alaadge (Lillie Elynm) Grayson, Box 523

Does anyone know the ancestors of the Williaa P. Grayson
in the 1st group
The next 3 pages (36,37,38) are on the formation
of Ky,, and Tenn, and should be valuable tools in researching the
early genealogy ih those states. These were done by Wendell Grayson
also; many thanks,

On page 39 is a query that J. Wendell Grayson found in
the Tri-State Trader regarding a Robert Gragson born in Ireland
who lived in Winchester, Ill. In 1845. If you are keeping a list of
Grayson imigrants, this is one of the few we have found. Does
anyone here have a file on this Robert Grayson
