It should be stated at the outset that this volume does not in­ clude, and was not intended to include the complete record of a Family that has filled a prominent place in English history for so many centuries. Such a work would indeed be a herculean task, and it would be an ambitious historian who should essay it with the expectation of accomplishment during a lifetime. The compiling of a genealogy ancl history of the branch of the Gray family to which the writer is akin, was incidentally · undertaken with the view of preserving some interesting personal statistics which had come into his possession, and which were thought worthy of preservation. They referred especially to his ancestors in that line, and at the first, a much less extended rec• ord was contemplated, but a continuance of investigation gave increased scope to the work adding new lines in various direc• tions, ,mtil it has embrc\ced sketches of many of the early ancl most numerous Gray families in America, besides mention of some whose direct connection with the different branches does not appear. The difficulties in the way, and the limitations of time and expense, have hindered the full realization of his desires, but the writer has industriously gathered up interesting family facts from many sources, and while some have eluded the most earnest re­ search, those which are garnered as the result of these labors, will ·at least furnish interesting data for the future historian, and may not be considered an unworthy contribution to that end. The writer has found the work of fascinating interest and only regrets that he could not have followed it to its fullest, most , complete conclusions. The seeming long delay in the completion or this volume has doubtless been a disaJ>pointment to many, but other busy activ­ ities and exacting duties have necessarily taken much of the time and attention of the writer while he has been engaged upon this work, and much more is included in it than was at first in­ tended, The end, continually in sight, has continually eva(led him, and the temptation to extend research to other and invt~· ing fields, has not easily been put aside. ,vith a kin<lly greeting to all of kith and kin, and all of the name of Gray, and especially to those who have cordially as• sisted in the work, this volume iii issued, in the hope that it may be found worthy of preservation and be the means of increased interest in the history of an ancient and honorable family. Tarrytown-on-Hudson, N. Y., May, 1887. M. D. RAVMONll. GRAY GENEALOGY. 'l'he name Gray, is of Iota/ origin. that is, following the name of a place in Burgundy, France. In the Department of Haute­ Saone, there is now a town called Gray. The name WM origin­ ally Croy. A Norman Chief named Rolf, or Rollo, or Raoul, invaded France with his Norwegian followers and established himself there in the 9th Century. A descendant, or at all events a member of the same family, became Chamberlain to Robert, Duke of Normandy, and receh,ed from him the Castle and hon­ or of Croy, from which his family assumed the name of DeCroy, which was afterwards changed to DeGray, and at last to Gray without the prefix. Gray instead of Grey is adopted in this work, it being the or• thography in use in this branch of the family, as it is almost uni­ versally in the different branches in this country. In England and Ireland, however, in the titled families, Grey still obtains, white in Scotland it is Gray. However, this alight difference makes but a narrow line of demarcation between different branch­ es of a family all evidently descended from one parent stock and of one origin. 'rhe Grays unquestionably came over to F.ngland with \Villiam the Conqueror in 1066, (or among the names of those inscribed at Battle Abbey, after the decisive battle of Hastings, as worthy to be remembered for valiant services there rendered, was J. de Gray. Nesbit's Heraldry says: u In an old manuscript of Arms in the reign of William the Conqueror, are the Armoreal bearings of Paganus de Gray, equitum signifer to King \Villiam," .Again we quote from the same high authority : u Gray, Earl of Kent, Chief of the ancient and illustrious house of Gray, so dig­ nified in the reign of Edward IV., from whom are descended and branched the Barons of Rotherfteld, Codmore, Wilton, Ruthem, Groby, ancl Rugemont, the Viscount of Lisle, the Earl of Stam­ ford, the Marquis of Dorset, and the Duke of Suffolk,-all of that surname derived from the honour and Castle of Gray, (or 4• Croy as some write,) in Picardy, their patrimony before the Con­ quest." In regard to the Grays of Scotland being.of the same family we have again the testimony of Nesbit's Heraldry : "Gray Lord Gray'in Scotland, same Arms as My Lord Gray of Wark and Chillingham, England. Motto, Anchor Fast Anchor. The first of this line was a son of Gray in Chillingham, Northumberland, England, who came to Scotland in the reign of Alexander II., (about 1230,) and gave his allegiance to that King, receiving pos­ semons in Roufield shire of Roxburgh. His issue has continued still in Scotland." His son, Sir Andrew Gray, joined King Rob­ ert Bntce when he ascended the throne. The Grays in Ireland, generally designated as Scotch-Irish, are doubtless the descend­ ants of that branch of the family. The Grays were closely allied with the Royal hou~ of Eng­ land and were near the throne. Edward IV. married Elizabeth Gray the widow of Sir John Gray who was slain at th~ second battle of St. Albans, 1461. On the death of King Rdward, her son, the young Prince Consort, and her son Lord Gray, were both executed in 1483, by that bloody usurper, the notorious Richard III. Burke's Peerage says: "The family of Gray is of great antiqui­ ty in Northumberland. Henry de Gray obtained from King Richard I., (1190) the manor of Turoc in Essex. Sir John Gray, Knight of Berwick, 1372, was father of Sir 'fhomas of Berwick and ChiUingham.

Thus,n i France, to trace back to Charlemagne is the desideratum ; in England, to the Norman Con quest; and in the New England States, to the Puri tans, or first settlement of the country. The origin of but few nations or individuals can be precisely traced or ascertained. " The lapse of ages is inces santly thickening the veil which is spread over remote objects and events. The light becomes fainter as we proceed, the objects more obscure and uncertain, until Time at length spreads her sable mantle over them, and we behold them no more." Its i stated, among the librarians and officers of historical institutions in the Eastern States, that not two per cent of the inquirers succeed in establishing the connection between their ancestors here and the family abroad. Most of the emigrants 2 I NTROD UCTION. fled f rom religious persecution, and, instead of pro mulgating their derivation or history, rather sup pressed all knowledge of it, so that their descendants had no direct traditions. On this account it be comes almost necessary to give the descendants separately of each of the original emigrants to this country, with a general account of the family abroad, as far as it can be learned from history, without trusting too much to tradition, which however is often the only source of information on these matters.

  • Church and Society in Twelfth-Century Suffolk: the Charter Evidence'
    CHURCH AND SOCIETY IN TWELFTH-CENTURY SUFFOLK: THE CHARTER EVIDENCE' by CHRISTOPHER HARPER-BILL, B.A , PH D., ER.HIST.S. EVERY LOCAL HISTORIAN is well aware of the great value of charters, or title deeds; they are an invaluable source of information for genealogy, topography and the descent of estates. Those familiar with late medieval and early modern documents might, however, be excused for thinking them useful but tedious, couched as they are in stereotyped legal formulae. This is certainly not the case with 12th-century charters. It is not merely that in the period up to 1250 the student of diplomatic can trace the gradual evolution of important legal concepts relating to tenure and inheritance. These early charters also abound in colourful and intimate detail, and often reveal the sentiments of donors in a way which, in a later age, is obscured by the strait-jacket of common form. Indeed, it is possible to appreciate more fully the realities of life in the 12th century through charters than through the majority of chronicles.2 The sentiment behind so many gifts to religious houses can be illustrated by two examples relating to the Bigod family, Earls of Norfolk, who held extensive Suffolklands. When Matilda, daughter of Roger Bigod, died, her husband, William d'Albini, weeping and wailing, gave to his newly-founded priory at Wymondham, where she was buried at an impressive ceremony attended by the bishop and the leading ecclesiasticsof the county, the manor of Happisburgh, granted for her salvation and that of all his kindred and of the king and queen.

  • Annagh 2005, the Twenty-Eighth Issue of the Ballyhaunis Tparish Magazine
    Christmas Greetings t seems such a short year since last Christmas and yet we are moving fast towards the IChristmas season again. The year gone by has been a year of high drama, beginning with the awful tsunami tragedy on St. Stephen’s Day. This has been followed by all the other tragedies of the year, the hurricanes in the US, the terrors in Baghdad, the earthquake in Pakistan and many more. I suppose one event that will always stand out in the minds of Catholics was the death of our late Holy Father, Pope John Paul II. His final illness and death brought home to us how he dignified pain and suffering by his endurance and acceptance. His funeral captured the attention of the world because he was respected by world leaders everywhere for standing up for what he believed. Then we had the election of Pope Benedict XVI and a new era in the church began. It is our prayer that the coming year will be a better year, that peace will take the place of war and violence around the world, and that people everywhere will escape natural disasters and flu pandemics. As always, I avail of the pages of Annagh Magazine to wish you all, on my own behalf and on behalf of Fr. Burke, a very happy and holy Christmas and every blessing and every happiness in the New Year. Wherever you are, at home or abroad, you will be remembered in our Masses on Christmas Day.

  • Youth of Becket
    Youth Of Becket By Charlotte Mary Yonge YOUTH OF BECKET Henry of Anjou showed, in his journey to England, both courage and moderation. He remained there for some little time, and then returned home to join his father in a war against the Count de Montreuil, who was befriended by both Pope and King of France. The Pope excommunicated Geoffrey, but he fought on, and made his enemy prisoner; then, at the command of the King of France, released him. When the Pope would have absolved Geoffrey, he refused, saying he had only done justice, and had not deserved the sentence. A few months after, in 1151, a cold bath, when he was heated with riding, brought on a fever that caused his death. He left his son Henry his county of Anjou, to be resigned to Geoffrey if he should become King of England, and commanded that his body should not be interred till Henry had taken an oath to that effect. From this oath Henry was absolved by Adrian IV, properly Nicholas Brakespeare, the only English Pope, and stripped his brother of all his possessions. It was no good omen for his own relations with his sons. His mother lived many years in retirement, and used her influence chiefly for good. She died in 1167. Henry, meantime, had come to the throne in 1154, and was the mightiest King who had yet reigned in England. More than half France was hispartly by inheritance, and partly by marriage with Eleanor, heiress of Aquitaine; and he was quite able to rule his vast dominions.

  • Articles, Additional Photographs, and Several Brief Sound Clips Illustrating My Father’S Voice Before and After Removal of Most of His Vocal Cords
    President Spencer W. Kimball spent many hours alone, pondering and praying, as he sought revelation on the priesthood question. Courtesy Church History Library. © Intellectual Reserve, Inc. Spencer W. Kimball and the Revelation on Priesthood Edward L. Kimball o doubt the most dramatic moment of the Spencer W. Kimball N administration and probably the highlight of Church history in the twentieth century occurred in June 1978, when the First Presidency announced a revelation allowing worthy men of all races to be ordained to the priesthood and allowing worthy men and women access to all temple ordinances. The history of this issue reaches back to the early years of the Church. Without understanding the background, one cannot appreciate the magnitude of the 1978 revelation. When the Church was very young a few black men were ordained to the priesthood. But soon such ordinations ceased, and a tradition grew, supported by common Christian beliefs and certain scriptural interpreta- tions, that African blacks bore the burden of a curse levied by God on Cain and his posterity, which precluded them from participating fully in the life of the Church. After World War II, the civil rights movement grew powerfully, call- ing for equal legal and social status for blacks. The movement gained strength through the 1960s, resulting in strong criticism of the Church for its exclusion of blacks from the priesthood and the temple, motivating some Church leaders to brace against attack and others to ask whether the time had come to seek a change.

The "Cameos" here put together are intended as a book for young people just beyond the elementary histories of England, and able to enter in some degree into the real spirit of events, and to be struck with characters and scenes presented in some relief. The endeavor has not been to chronicle facts, but to put together a series of pictures of persons and events, so as to arrest the attention and give some individuality and distinctness to the recollection, by gathering together details at the most memorable moments. Begun many years since, as the historical portion of a magazine, the earlier ones of these Cameos have been collected and revised to serve for school-room reading, and it is hoped that, if these are found useful, they may ere long be followed up by a second volume, comprising the wars in France, and those of the Roses. _February 28th, 1868._ CONTENTS.
