2. 1790 Census Images (online at Ancestry.com; extracted by Diana Gale Matthiesen). The list is alphabetical, so no neighborhood reconstruction is possible.

These data indicate:

Gender and Type Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

3 free white males 16 or over in or bef. 1774 = Henry
= Frederick

5 free white females all ages in or bef. 1790 = Deborah

Also on list: Henry's brother, Godfrey GRAY.

3. Census Index: U.S. Selected Counties, 1800 (Broderbund CD-312). Please see my WARNING regarding use of this database (the numerical data have the genders switched).

1800 Gray, Henry NC Washington Co. p. 704 00110-0000100

These data should read:

00001-00110-00

which indicate:

No. & Sex Age Class Therefore Born Individuals Inferred

1 male 45 or over in or bef. 1755 = Henry (b. bef. 1745)

1 female 16-25 1774-1784 = Daughter B? (or Ann?)

1 female 26-44 1755-1774 = Deborah? (b. bef. 1750)

The older female may be Deborah, fibbing about her age, or an older, unmarried daughter or ?. Middle-aged women often lied about their age (and still do). It is a phenomenon of nature that men age ten years between censuses and women age seven.
