AND 1. MARY WATSON (UNKNOWN– ABOARD D'ARCY SUMMER, 1836)
AND 2. SARAH BURGESS ( CA 1810 – 11 NOV 1896)
First immigrant Generation
1. Andrew GREY
born England c.1785-94, living 1861.
Married (1) Mary daughter of Alexander WATSON (named in baptisms of Alexander W. and Grace). The Greys lived at Akeld in Kirknewton parish in 1812-14, and at Torvilaws, Wooler 1816-21. They attended Cheviot Street United Presbyterian Church in Wooler throughout this period. From 1824-29 they lived at Milfield Hill and attended Crookham Presbyterian Church in Ford parish. Torvilaws is a large farm just outside Wooler town, so it is likely that Andrew was a hind, though neither of the chapel registers identify him as such. Mary died aboard the "D'Arcy" en route to New Brunswick in 1836. A letter from a passenger published in the Berwick Advertiser , 24 September 1836, p. 2, col. 4 noted: "Andrew Grey's wife, who went on deck one morning, caught cold and shortly died, and was of course consigned to a watery grave."
The Grey family's ancestry is uncertain. Given that the earliest reference to this family, in 1812, places them in Kirknewton parish, it is tempting to posit an ancestral connection with the Andrew and Mark Gray whose names appear together as shepherds in Killham Constabulary of Kirknewton in the 1762 Northumberland militia ballot lists, especially since the Andrew who emigrated to Stanley had a son named Mark. But if there is a connection, filling in the intervening generations is likely to prove difficult. There was another couple named Andrew and Mary Gray (probably Mary Alexander, married at Doddington in 1802) who had a son Mark, baptized in 1807 at Branton Presbyterian chapel, and a Robert and Mary Gray had a son Mark baptized in 1808 at Cheviot Street chapel in Wooler, the same church the later Stanley family attended. The name Andrew Grey was fairly common in northern Northumberland; Mark was less usual but not unheard of.
Andrew Grey and his sons Robert, James, and John signed the 26 November 1836 letter to the residents of Wooler recommending the Stanley settlement. Colonial Office records report that the NB Land Company spent £140 in cash and £169.11.11 in goods on the Grey family. Andrew Grey signed the petition to the House of Lords on 28 February 1838, and the subsequent agreement with the Company on 15 June 1838. By 4 August 1838 he had a cow, 2 oxen, 2 pigs and a good barn. (C.O. 188/60)
Andrew Grey's farm was lot 77 w.s. Stanley Road. He initially rented the holding from the Land Company, but he purchased the property, consisting of 100 acres and a house, on 17 May 1841 for £29. After making a small instalment payment each year, he paid off the remaining £29 in a lump sum on 9 December 1844. (PANB, MC1284, MS3a, pp. 23-24)
Andrew Grey married (2) 24 March 1842 Fredericton (a double wedding with "D'Arcy" emigrant William Pringle) Sarah BURGESS, late of the City of Gloucester, England. A notice of the wedding was in the Saint John Morning News of March 28, 1842: "Fredericton (York Co.) Thursday, 24th inst., by Rev. Dr. Jacob, Andrew GRAY of Stanley to Miss Sarah BURGESS late of City of Gloucester, England; at same time William PRINGLE of Stanley to Mrs. Mary WOODBERRY of that Town".
In the 1851 census of Stanley, two married daughters living away from home are listed, even though they were probably not in Stanley at the time:
I have found no record of Andrew's death, but Sarah died 11 November 1896 aged 86 at English Settlement, NB. Her obituary from the Fredericton Gleaner, 24 November 1896, reveals how she came to New Brunswick:
"The death of one of Stanley's most highly esteemed and aged residents occurred 11th inst. at English Settlement in the person of Sarah Burgess GREY wife of late Andrew GREY, who came from Gloucester, England with Dr. Edwin JACOB, Vice-President of King's College, Fredericton, May 24th, 1841. The deceased had reached the advanced age of 86 years and in possession of all her faculties. She leaves two daughters, one the wife of Josiah FOREMAN and the other the wife of John HARRISON. Rev. J.S. Mullan conducted the services at house and grave and Thomas Clarkson had charge of the funeral arrangements."
She likely met Grey through the latter's son-in-law, Henry Wandless, who was the porter at King's College and who had been married to Grey's daughter Mary by Dr. Jacob soon after Sarah's arrival in New Brunswick.
There were 9 children by the first marriage, and 2 by the second:
2. Robert Grey. b. 7 bp. 29 June 1812 Cheviot Street U.P., Wooler. Parents of Akeld, Kirknewton parish. Signed the 26 November 1836 letter to the residents of Wooler recommending the Stanley settlement.

4. John Grey. b. 13 bp. 15 April 1816 Cheviot Street U.P., Wooler. Parents of Torvilaws, parish Wooler. Signed the 26 November 1836 letter to the residents of Wooler recommending the Stanley settlement, and the letter of 13 September 1838 urging the Company to obtain a physician and surgeon for the settlement (C.O. 188/60, f. 152). He appears to have purchased Lot 6 at Lime Kiln from the Land Company on 13 May 1848, but his name was crossed out and replaced with that of his brother Robert (PANB, MC1284, MS3a, pp. 81-82).
5. Ann Grey. b. 18 bp. 30 August 1818 Cheviot Street U.P., Wooler. Parents of Torvilaws, parish Wooler. Md. 4 March 1844 York Co. NB Hugh GRAHAM of Woodstock.

2. Robert Grey
b. 7 bp. 29 June 1812 Cheviot Street U.P., Wooler. Son of Andrew Grey and Mary Watson. The family was resident at Akeld, Kirknewton parish. He was of Cardigan in Douglas parish at the time of his marriage, 22 March 1841, by Rev. Archibald McCallum (York Co. mge. reg. B.) to Hannah WILLIAMS of Cardigan, b. c.1801 in Wales. Lot 6 at Lime Kiln, consisting of 100 acres, was sold by the Land Company to his brother John Gray at 4/6 an acre on 13 May 1848, but his name was crossed out and Robert's inserted. Unfortunately we cannot determine the date of this transfer of interest. A first instalment of £2.10 was paid at the time of purchase, and another ten years later on 11 November 1852. The family were listed at Limekiln, Stanley parish, in the 1851 census:
Gray paid two additional instalments in 1853 and 1862, but instalments in 1869 and 1871 were paid by Samuel Wilkinson. The Land Company clerk noted on 3 August 1874: "Gray left the Country about 6 Years ago, Wilkinson has supported his wife and made the two last payments. I now transfer the Lot to him, he agreeing to support Mrs Gray if she returns, she being away on a visit." Wilkinson paid off the lot in July 1879 (PANB, MC1284, MS3a, pp. 81-82). He had married Mary Ann Williams in 1850 (York Co. mge. reg. B), doubtless a relative of Hannah (Williams) Gray, and hence his willingness to support her in Robert's absence.
It appears therefore that Robert and Hannah separated, and he is probably the Robert Gray, 68, labourer, born in Ireland [sic], living with brother Mark Gray in Houlton, Maine, in 1881. Robert's wife Hannah (recorded as Anna in the census), 79, b. Wales, was listed as a widow with their daughter Mrs William Kerr in Calais the same year, but Robert died at the Kerr residence four years later:
"Died at Calais, Me., 17th inst., at residence of his son-in-law, Wm KERR, of paralysis, Robert GREY, age 73" ( St Croix Courier , 2 April 1885).

5. Ann Grey
b. 18 bp. 30 August 1818 Cheviot Street U.P., Wooler, while the family was resident at Torvilaws farm in the parish of Wooler. Daughter of Andrew Grey and Mary Watson. Md. 4 March 1844 by Dr. Edwin Jacob to Hugh GRAHAM of Woodstock (York Co. mge. reg. B).
There was a Hugh Graham in Woodstock, b. Co. Donegal, Ireland, whose first wife d. 28 May 1843 aged 33 ( The Loyalist, 5 June 1843) and who remarried Miss Ann EVANS of Fredericton on 1 Jan. 1844 ( The Loyalist, 4 January 1844). This Hugh d. in Woodstock in 1896 (obit. Woodstock Dispatch, 12 Feb. 1896), his wife 14 years before him (Ann d. 25 May 1882 aged 65y 7m leaving 6 chn: SJ Daily Telegraph, 10 June 1882). The 1881 census records Mrs. Graham as age 64 and b. in Wales. This rules out this family.
The 1881 census of Richmond, Carleton Co., N.B. includes a labourer named Hugh Graham, b. Ireland, 65, with wife Ann b. England, 61, no children then at home. They are also in the 1871 census at Richmond, Hugh a farmer b. Ire. 55, an Adventist, and Ann, 51, b. England, a Wesleyan. Again they resided alone (www.rootsweb.com/~nbcarlet/names1871.htm ). This seems a better fit for Ann Grey from Stanley, but the question remains open.

Mary married 30 June 1841 (York Co. mges.) Henry WANDLESS, Porter of Kings College, Fredericton. The New Brunswick Courier of July 10, 1841 reported the wedding:
"Married by Rev. Dr. Jacob, Henry WANDLESS, Porter of King's College to Mary
GREY daughter of Andrew GREY of Stanley, York Co."
Wandless's first wife Martha McWaters had died in Fredericton 26 May 1840 aged 34,
The New Brunswick Report & Fredericton Advertiser, 8 March 1867, reported Henry's death: "Fredericton (York Co.) Friday morn., 1st inst., of congestion of the lungs, Henry WANLESS age 58, left wife, eleven children."
Mary was living in Needham Street, Fredericton, in 1871, and in Kings Ward in 1881. In 1887 she moved to the United States. The Fredericton Gleaner of July 12, 1892, reported that " Mrs. WANDLESS, formerly of this city, but now of Boston, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. George HAZEN, Charlotte Street." Mary a ppears in the 1900 U.S. census at 31 Vine Street, Boston with daughter Anna and stepdaughter Alicia.
