~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Judge Barzillai Gray was born October 1, 1824 in New York state. He married Mary Tenney in Conklin, New York. Shortly thereafter in May 1857 they removed to Wyandotte County, Kansas.
Initially, they settled in old Wyandotte, but in a few years moved to Leavenworth, Kansas, where he was elected judge of the criminal court. When George T Anthony became governor of Kansas in 1877 he appointed Judge Gray as his private secretary. At the close of the governor's term in 1879 Judge Gray and his family returned to Wyandotte. He held several city offices in his early days including serving as a probate judge.
He was most well regarded for his activities in the development of the Kansas side of Kansas City and foresaw in the 1870's that it was destined to become a large city. He was instrumental in planning several additions and laying out of roads in the portion of the city known as Riverview. He spearheaded the effort to establish a market and a grain exchange and erect the Chamber of Commerce among other buildings.
After his wife's passing in 1904, he spent much of his time in the city library or at Huron Square. He chose to live alone in the small stone house near the Quindaro Pumping Station, and despite his son's urging to remain in town for the winter, he was found dead in his home on December 26, 1918.
They had four children: Loo, Jessie Tenney Gray m. Charles F. Caswell, Lawrence Tenney Gray and Mary Theodosia Gray m. Job Harriman.
