Peyton Gray

I searched for a long time for  Peyton Gray on the online census reports and for the longest time I couldn't find anything. Then one day I happened to be browsing through the King George county, Shiloh district census schedule for 1880 and, Voila!


  • George Filmore 35 head
  • Mary Filmore    35 Wife 
  • Julia Filmore     25 dau 
  • Peyton Gray      19 son 
  • Simon Gray       20 son 
  • Sarah Filmore    14 dau 
  • Howard Filmore  3 son 
  • Lizzie Filmore      5 dau

    Now is there any one of you reading this that can help me out here? I'm fairly sure that this is our own Peyton Gray but it would be best to have some kind of confirmation. It would also be nice to know just what the story is with the different family names Filmore and Gray.

    Here also we have a case of Julia Filmore being just 10 years younger than George and Mary Filmore yet is listed as the daughter. She almost has to be a sibling or relative that is being cared for by them.
