Gray, born on 20 March 1748 in Essex County, New Jersey, enlisted
as a Private in the summer of 1775 in Essex County. He served for various
periods totaling 18 months under the command of Capts. Baker and Brown,

- I think the Thomas Hamilton listed in the The
Abstract of Graves of Revolutionary Patriots, Vol. 2, p. Serial 11999,
Vol. 8 was the Thomas Hamilton of whom it was written in an 1889 Edgar
County, Illinois county history:
"The maiden name of the mother of Mrs. [Hannah Patterson] Hanley
was Nancy Hamilton. She was a native of Virginia, born near
the town of Moresfield and was the daughter of Thomas Hamilton, who
was born in England. He served in the English army and as a
soldier of that army was brought over the Atlantic to fight the colonists.
This he did not wish to do, so deserted the ranks and located in Virginia
and lived in Palmyra, Warren County, the remainder of his days"

of Hannah (Patterson) Hanley]
- The IGI gives his death as 1827 in Mason, Warren
County, Ohio, which would be consistent with an interment in Unity
