5. Jane Jones (1. Gabriel) m. John Gray (Will - Culpeper - 1788)
John Gray was the only son of William Gray, who died when his son was young, and
whose estate was settled in 1753 by Robert Slaughter and William Green. (Culpeper - Wills)
It is not known where in the county Jane and John Gray lived, but their son and
grandson, Gabriel, Sr. and Jr,, owned in the early 1800’s practically all the land within what
is now the Stevensburg-Batna-Lignum roads, except the “Salubria” and “Grattan Hall”
estates - approximately 3,000 A. Among their other holdings was “Mountain View”, purchased by Thomas Wigginton Jones in 1883 and still owned by his descendants. Prior to
1812 Gabriel Gray, Sr., built the present dwelling house, and Gabriel, Jr., made it his home
from 1812 to 1852. It would be interesting to know if the land of Captain Gabriel Jones, sold
by his heirs in 1798 to Gabriel Gray, could possibly be the same land purchased by the
Captain’s great-grandson, Thomas Wigginton Jones.
