1 NOTE The only one of the children of William and Jane to be traced was the
2 CONC oldest, William Lewis Valentine, born in New York about 1836 and died
2 CONC during the Civil War in 1865. A note in Franklin Garrett's "Atlanta
2 CONC and Environs" indicates that William Lewis Valentine was in Atlanta in
2 CONC 1855, however, he was not with his widowed mother in Campbell County
2 CONC in 1860 and he has not been located in the 1860 census. His movements
2 CONC beginning in 1862, however are fairly easy to trace since on August
2 CONC 17, 1862 he enlisted in the Confederate Army in Savannah, Georgia. The
2 CONC Confederate records list him variously as Lewis Volentine and Lewis
2 CONC Valentine, the first spelling undoubtedly brought about by his English
2 CONC or Scottish accent. The records on file at the Georgia Department of
2 CONC Archives and History show that William was ill and in the hospital in
2 CONC 1862. Evidently this was a serious illness because in November he was
2 CONC listed as being on a "sick furlough". He was a patient at French's
2 CONC Division Hospital, Lauderdale, Mississippi, July 10, 1863.
2 CONT
2 CONT William Lewis Valentine was married sometime in the summer of 1864
2 CONC near Atlanta to Mary Ann Harrison of Clayton County, daughter of
2 CONC William Henry Harrison and Sarah B. Fincher. On July 23, 1864, shortly
2 CONC after his marriage, William Lewis Valentine was captured in Clayton
2 CONC County by the Union forces of Major General William Tecumseh Sherman
2 CONC and the 16th Army Coups and was sent to the Military Prison at
2 CONC Louisville, Kentucky via Nashville, Tennessee. From Louisville, he was
2 CONC transferred to the Military Prison at Camp Chase, Ohio where he was
2 CONC received August 2, 1864. William became ill in prison (probably with
2 CONC disentary) and on March 4, 1865 he appeared on a list of sick and
2 CONC wounded prisoners who were to be paroled and transferred to City
2 CONC Point, (now Hopewell) Virginia to be exchanged. From this point the
2 CONC record becomes obscure. Fragmentary records indicate that the
2 CONC prisoners did arrive at City Point but that William Lewis Valentine
2 CONC died shortly after and is buried in a mass grave. Definite proof of
2 CONC this cannot be determined but all evidence seems to confirm this to be
2 CONC the true facts. William's widow, who by this time had a small son born
2 CONC in the Spring of 1865, was never notified of her husband's death and
2 CONC for the remaining 42 years of her life she never believed that he was
2 CONC dead and would someday return to here and the son he had never seen.

1 NOTE from Clayton County, Ga.  Practically nothing is know of the Harrison
2 CONC Family in Georgia, therefore most of the following was compiled from
2 CONC Census records, Estate records and some family records. The family
2 CONC apparently settled in Clayton County, Georgia in the early 1800's but
2 CONC was evidently up-rooted by the War Between the States. No record has
2 CONC been located on the earliest Harriosn ancestor, William H. Harrison
2 CONC after 1860. Where he and his wife Sarah died and when is unknown at
2 CONC this time (1985).

1 NOTE This branch of the Gray Family evidently originated in Scotland as is
2 CONC indicated in various family traditions. The exact location cannot be
2 CONC determined because the earliest known ancestor was born on board a
2 CONC ship in 1808, however his son, William Henry C. Gray always stated
2 CONC that his father was from Scotland and he was extremely proud to be of
2 CONC Scottich origin. Old William never was reconciled to his daughter,
2 CONC Annie's marriage to Benjamin Valentine because he suspected that
2 CONC Benjamin was English and not Scottish descent. This came about because
2 CONC Benjamin had heard stories that his father, William Lewis Valentine
2 CONC had been born in England. William had kept his New York birthplace a
2 CONC secret because he was in the Confederate Army.

2 CONT
2 CONT William Henry C. Gray was a member of the 3rd Georgia Regiment, Army
2 CONC of Northern Virginia, Confederate States of America. He enlisted in
2 CONC 1860 at the age of 16. In the 1880 census of Atlanta, Ga. he was
2 CONC listed as a "Gas Fitter" and "Plumber" living at 78 Terry Street. He
2 CONC died at his mother's home on Fair and Martin Streets after a prolonged
2 CONC illness of Septicaemia, on Tuesday, November 12, 1889, at the age of
2 CONC 45
2 CONT
2 CONT He died in same house that he was born in. Along with Him his  sister
