Papers indicate he died April 28, 1844; reading of stone shows he died l843; age 73 years 1 mo. However, stone may have been misread. Too, a stone reading: Joseph Gray, d. 4-28-1843, 72 years" was once found, but when looking for it a second time was not to be found. Possibly name and date was miscopied. from Early Settlers of Montgomery County 1817-1840 volume II pg 109 as transcribed by Walter R. Sanders, summer 1951.
In 1854 after marrying Julia Ann Porter, James' son YOUNG GRAY with his new wife, departed by covered wagon to El Dorado County, California, presumably for the recent gold rush.

Suggested edit: He was the the son of John Alexander and Jennet Craig Gray, both of whom died in Monroe County,WV
