This William H. Grayson, by the age, must be the brother of my
great-grandmother, Harriet Elizabeth Grayson. I would be very much
interested to know the name of his wife (I have not found that), and also
which brother was mentioned -- Horatio Capel Grayson or Alexander Harvey
Grayson? BTW, Lizzie Grayson married William Hite Davis of Clarke County
(the widower of her sister Sarah A. Grayson); Alexander Harvey Grayson
married Caroline Emily Deborah Davis, a sister of William Hite Davis.
