Media: 6th Generation Gray lives on Riverview Farm.

The Chronicles of the Village and Township of Claremont, published around 1935 and the Obituary of George Alvey (1957) states that 5th Generation of Grays lives at Riverview Farm. John Sr. purchased the homestead in 1866. George R lived there until 1909 when he purchased a house in town and moved there. George Alvey remained at Riverview all his life (except for a couple years [1907-1909] when he lived in Renville). Robert Lyn spent his entire life on Riverview Farm; when he married Lucile Marie Piper in 1926 “the house on the hill” was built for them; in 1941 they moved their family down to “the big house”. Robert’s youngest son raised his family on Riverview Farm; Robert’s grandson (6th Generation) now lives in “the big house”. Note: I wrote this on October 4, 2015.
