NOTES




1 -- A Book of Strattons, vol. II, on page 379, says (in part): "Mr. Stratton was engaged in mercantile business and while on a business trip in the west as agent for several large salt companies was thrown from his horse at Perryville, Ind., receiving injuries from which he died July 6, 1843."

Theresa Gray, a daughter of John Putnam Gray and of Rebeckah Campbell of Bedford Co., Va., died only a few months after she married J. D. Stratton. Stratton didn't remarry until almost thirteen years later, and he named his first child "Theresa Gray Stratton". She was always referred to by all three of her names (the first of which was pronounced "ter-RESS-ah"). A nephew and a niece of Theresa Gray Stratton were given the name "Gray" in her honor, and the given name "Gray" has propagated to the present, for almost two centuries, among persons whose connection to the Gray family is convoluted at best:
