- Joseph (son of John3, John2, John1) had residences in Amenia (Millertown)NY, Greene NY and New Canaan. No information has been found on the identity of his wife. Both Joseph and his son Jeduthan were closely connected to the old baptist church at Canaan. They were invited speakers on many occasions, sometimes preaching together.
Children of Joseph and unknown wife: Jeduthan 1756, Amos 1761, Sarah and Tamor.
From Find A Grave contributor Victoria: "Joseph was up in Green ,Chenango County NY with his brother Nathaniel I also have him in 1790 Census with the family in Chenango Co. also in the Gray Genealogy page 69-70 he's in Chenango Co at the time of his death. From the book we do know his wife ? is buried in Amenia but we don't know her name plus no records from the cemetery in Amenia go back that far.

From Find A Grave contributor Sherman-Thomas: "listed in the records of familysearch.org by the LDS Church, there are two women mentioned as wives - Abigail Bacon and Sarah Thomas. At this point, I need to see more proof before adding them. We know there were at least two sons, Amos and Jeduthan, that came from Joseph. Also, daughters Sarah and Tamor. Joseph is listed on old tax records and land records showing him living in the Amenia Precinct from about 1762 until about 1779. In April 1762, the records show that "Joseph Gray, his ear mark is a swallow tail in each ear, slit the upper side left ear." This would be his brand on his animals. Joseph's name, along with that of his son Jeduthan, appeared in a list of those protesting against the aggressions of the British crown at Amenia Precinct in 1775. On December 17, 1788, in Millerton, New York, at the Baptist Church, Joseph was present from the Baptist Church in New Canaan, Columbia County, New York and was appointed to make the opening prayer at a service that his son Jeduthan was preaching at. According to the book "GRAY GENEALOGY", Joseph Gray removed to Greene, Chenango County, New York late in life and died there on March 29, 1796 - most likely being buried in that
area."
Is it possible that Joseph married both Abigail Bacon (first) and Sarah Thomas later? In the sources, there are several children listed to Joseph and Sarah, however, the ones in my line (Jeduthan and Amos) are not shown with Sarah. Could these possibly be through Abigail? Is it possible the death date of Abigail is wrong and that she died earlier? And are the marriage dates possibly off for Abigail and Sarah? Just thinking out loud. Any thoughts from anyone???
