   Thomas Gray was of Seater, Walls
   NOTES taken from Frank Scott (1990)
   Now I move on to the Foula Grays.  I call them this as there is a strong
connection there but they did in all probability come from the fourth Lord Gray
through his sons who settled in UNST.  The earliest of them I can definately
trace is Thomas Gray who stayed in Seater, Walls.  I cannot find any dates for
him but I reckon it must have been round 1740-5 and there is a record of
Catherine Andrewsdotter being widow of Thomas Gray in Seater.  He was reputed
to be very strong and in the file is a note about him lifting a stone on to a
wall which his sons could not lift.
