Searching for information on the James Gray family. James and Mary came from Ireland in mid 1850s stayed in NY for awhile and then moved to Marshall Co Kansas in abt 1860s. While in NY they had a daughter Margaret(who married a O'Connell in Kansas). Other children of James and Mary all born in Kansas: James G., Catherine, Michael, and George,:

The family moved to Holt Co. NE about 1884. A few years after that James desserted his family and was never heard from for many years. By chance a human interest story appered in a Marysville paper about James living as a hermit in CO (1905) and this lead the family to know his whereabouts and to write him. he died before the family could see him. Any information on this family would greatly be appreciated, Thank You Frank Hotaling Hotalingfl@aol.com
