GRAY, CARR (or KERR') My 2nd great grandfatther, James GRAY, was born in/near Glasgow, Scotland in 1804. He came to USA in 1829. He married Mary CARR (born 1810 in/near Edinburgh,Scotland).probably in New York City. He worked as a millwright and carpenter in Connecticut. They had children in Connecticut, Iowa, Illinois. They traveled by oxcart to California in 1855 settling in Yuba City, Sutter Co.. His brother or cousin, William Gray, (wife Elizabeth) were also in New York City area. William drowned on return trip to Scotland and James and Mary adopted his 2 children. l am looking for more information on their parents and families.
