Thomas Grayson was living in 1754 when his brother Ambrose wrote his will and it would appear therefrom that in as much
as Alice ( ) James Grayson was yet living he was expecting to receive a portion of his father's estate upon its
final division. It also appears from Ambrose Grayson's will that at the time of writing he had unmarried brothers and

sisters who were no doubt in the Spotsylvania - Orange - Culpeper area at that time.
