I have a Levi Gray and wife Martha, no dates, also their son Ebeneza Gray
born Nov. 1792 at Lincolnville and wife Deborah Brown, in my wife's family
tree. Any chance they might be found in your research. Thanks for your kind
offer. James.

Subject: [MAINE] Wanted: Cemetery Name (S. Penobscot, Hancock, Maine)


Hi All,

I photographed an entire cemetery today. The cemetery, however, had no
sign indicating the name of the cemetery. I'm hoping I can post enough
details that maybe someone can tell me the name of the cemetery.

It is located on Route 175 in South Penobscot, Hancock County, Maine.
Headed north toward Castine, the cemetery is on the right side of the
road. The cemetery is across from a house with the address of "797
Southern Bay Road", and is a few hundred feet from another road, on the
opposite side, called Stonehaven Road.

The cemetery is small, maybe 100'x100', bordered on all sides by a small
stone fence.

The cemetery contains the burial of an American Revolutionary War veteran
named:

Reuben Gray Jr. (1762-1858)

Also buried there, his wife, Sarah H. Herrick (1766-1846)

There is a bronze plaque on the stone which says:

"Revolutionary War Patriot
Reuben Gray Jr.
1762-1858)
Ramassoc Chapter DAR"

There were also a lot of "GRAYs" and "BRIDGEs" there.

Thank-you for any information you may have.

I photographed the entire cemetery, and am willing to share photographs
with those that ask.
