HARMON GRAY, son of Dominicus GRAY and Elizabeth WEBB, was born at Arlington, 
Vermont, June 29, 1806; went as a child to Georgetown, D.C., where he was 
liberally educated, attended medical lectures at Columbia College, and was four 
years preceptor of an academy at Georgetown.  Removing to Norwich, New York, he 
finished his professional study and in 1830 took a diploma from a county board 
of medical examiners.  He began practice at Unadilla, where June 2, 1832, he 
married Maria Theresa, daughter of David FINCH and Mary Ann MALLORY.  In 1840 
he came to a farm in section 8, Sugar Creek, and prove himself a master of two 
exacting professions.  For thirty years he raised corps, attended the sick in a 
range of great width, voted the Democratic ticket, spoke as he thought, which 
was "not in the words of a master," made himself respected, and died September 
19, 1895.  Mrs. GRAY was born in New Haven county, Connecticut, in 1809, and 
died October 20, 1887.  Three of their children are dead: Helen (1834-1910); 
Jane (Mrs. George W. KIRCHHOEFFER) (1836-1876); Marcus (1841-1873); Mary (Mrs. 
Henry L. MALLORY) lives at Elkhorn.
