He was born in Hancock, NH and was a resident there at age 24 when he enlisted at President Lincoln’s first call of troops in 1861. He served in “State Service” as a Private from May 3 to October 8, 1861. On October 8, 1861 he was transferred to Company E, 6th NH Inf Rgt, as a Private but was then Appointed Company E’s 1st Sergeant. Re-enlisted February 11, 1864. He was Appointed 2nd Lieutenant April 20, 1864. He was wounded at the Battle of Spotsylvania, Virginia, May 12, 1864. He was discharged disabled December 25, 1864, near Hancock Station, Virginia. Because he was wounded and the Appointment wasn’t processed in three weeks, he was not mustered into Federal Service as a 2nd Lieutenant, so he “officially” remained a 1st Sergeant at discharge. More than likely Gray was wearing and serving as a 2nd Lieutenant at the Battle of Spotsylvania when he was wounded, waiting for it to be official.
