   2 Francis2 Gray, son of Francis1 Gray, the emigrant, lived at Machodoc, in Westmoreland county, Va. He married Sarah, one of the three daughters of Nathaniel J ones, a justice of Westmoreland county (see Land Grants and Westmoreland county records). He died about 1687, when Thomas Kerton brought suit against Thomas Kitchen, "who marrie d the relict of Francis Gray." Francis Gray died without will, but 4 Nathaniel was his
   
   eldest son, who married Mary . This is shown by a deed
   from Francis Gray to Thomas Butler, James Butler and Elizabeth Butler (the said James and Elizabeth being a son and daughter of said Thomas Butler) for land "formerly leased to said Thomas Butler by Francis Gray, father to said Nathaniel Gray," dated 27 April, 1707. The same day Mary Gray, wife of said Nathaniel Gray, made a deed to Nathaniel Pope
