  Father	Gray,   d. Before 1840
  Mother	Mary Ann "Polly" George,   b. Abt 1807, South Carolina, USA
  Married	Between 1830-1835  [2, 3]
  	In her 1840 Floyd County census enumeration as head of household, "Maryan Gray" has five children: a son under 5, two daughters under 5, and two daughters between 5-10. She was probably enumerated in 1830 as the female age 20-30 in her mother's household. Children usually came a year or so after marriage and at regular two-year intervals, though some of these could have been born to a previous marriage. It is likely, however, that Polly married soon after 1830.

• Notes

  Mary Ann "Polly" George was first married to a Gray/Grey. After her second marriage to Elisha Meadows, she is found in the 1850 census. In the household is a Joseph Grey, age 22 and a Jane Grey, age 17. Joseph would have been born about 1828, a little earlier than I had postulated Polly's marriage, but she would have been 21, so it is certainly possible. Relationshps are not specified in the 1850 census, so Jane could have been either her daughter, born about 1833--or Joseph's wife, living in the household. Joseph could also have been some other Grey/Gray relative. It seems likely, however, that he was a son and that Jane was a daughter.
