My great-greatgrandfather was George Washington Grayson II, apparently the same one you have on the message board.Everything checks out, dates, places, etc.However his firat wife's name was Sarah Ward Ellington, not Allerton.They were married c. 1825.The story in our family was that they divorced after about 20-25 years.Unheard of in those days.My great-grandmother, Rachel Ella Grayson Creek was born in 1843, so I presume it was after that date.We had never heard of a second marriage.We had been told he left Sarah and "took up" with an Indian woman.I would be glad to exchange any information I have with you.
