I'm from the oldest son, John Grayson born abt 1727 Spotsylvania Co., VA, died abt 1802, Montgomery Co., VA. I have John Grayson as a proven DAR ancestor. Ambrose was the son of John Grayson and Susanna (might be White). I have John Grayson as a proven Colonial Dames XVII Century ancestor.

Alice's 3rd husband was James Stephens.
