We have not traced other children of the Gray family. We believe many were married in Jackson County, Missouri and at least some lived nearby. We do find the given names of some as we search census for other ancestors. Some may have migrated across the state line into Johnson County, Kansas as did the Laughlin and Morton ancestors.
The 1870 census we find our Gray ancestors in Prairie Twp. living next to son, Hugh Gray: age 26 (1844) born Missouri - farmer - page 82, dw. 620, line 635

1880 is the last time we find these Great, Great Grandparents on census records. They were in Washington Township (New Santa Fe) on the state line between Missouri and Kansas.
