*Verification* I found birth records for all of them on FamilySearch Database: Scotland, Births  (database, microfilm: 993,183), see, Alexander Gray [2ms] Media: Descendants of Alexander Gray. Those are the only records I found with the exception of John Gray Sr (my blood-line ancestor who immigrated to America). Alexander (Jr) 1811 Media: Other Alexander Gray, Born about 1811, Scotland Other Family Trees, why I did not use them. Alexander Gray married Isobel Inglis, Forgue, Aberdeen, Scotland Scotland Census: 1841, 1851, 1871, 1881 (scanned documents) 1862 Death, Lunatic Asylum Sunnyside Parish of Montrose, age 51, suffocation by choking with food. Alexander Gray married Margaret Gray Although there are scanned copies of Scotland Census’ and the same 1862 Death information but I didn’t find a reference to his parents being Alexander and Jane (Fletcher) Gray. Consequently, I did not use either one of these Alexander Grays. The Alexander I chose to use is the one I found in a FamilySearch Scotland Data Base: Birth: 8/21/1811. Christening: 8/30/1811. Forgue, Aberdeen, Scotland. Father: Alexander. Mother: Jean Fletcher. *the same database, 993183, contained the complete family (Father, Mother, Children) I used for my Gray-Piper Tree.
