From a letter in the possession of Kathy L in LI, NY and shared with me 03/2012. This was written by Jessie E (Nickerson) Tabor and it is in the context of her Great-Grandmother Phebe Ann Ward (Nichols) Nickerson, also the grandmother of Ellen M (Bailey) Grayson, this William's daughter-in-law:
" Herbert Grayson's father, William, owned what is now "Po" Phillip's, Ed Phillip's old place. Herbert used to say that the first time he saw Grandma, he thought she was the prettiest woman he had ever seen. Herbert's father called him "Hubbie" and Grandma called him "Hubbard.
Grandma used to say she never got any education except what she got in night school and Sabbath school; so she read so slowly it was hard for her. "Hubbard" was a beautiful reader (so she thought) and used to come over and read to her. She became very fond of him and thought he was a fine young man.
"Mr. William Grayson (Hubbard's father) called Grandma "Miss Nick" and used to come over after one of "Miss Nick's good old tough doughnuts". He liked his tough. Grandma was a good old-fashioned cook, nothing fancy. "
I have seen William Sr. listed with the middle name SLATER, but no real proof that was his middle name.:
