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.
I have found a marriages record of peyton gray on( family search records .com). It says that peyton gray's father his name peyton gray and his mother mary gray.
