  • .... The records show that there were two brothers, John and Henry Gray, among the first settlers, in 1643. They had married sisters, daughters of William Frost, who and his family had come with them from Nottingham, England. Henry is said to have been a man of consequence, and represented his town at the General Court. He had married Lydia Frost, and was in middle life when he migrated to this country. He died about 1658, aged probably fifty years. He left four sons: Jacob, Henry, Levi and William Gray. John Gray, brother of Henry, had married Elizabeth Frost, but the names of his children cannot be definitely determined.
