Grizzel Wray - My 6th Great Grandmother: Grizzell WRAY was born on March 18, 1694, in Haddington, Scotland, the only child of John and Bessie. She had four sons and one daughter with William Allison SR. She then married James McALLISTER in 1739. She died in May 1794 in Hillsborough, North Carolina, at the impressive age of 100.

    How great to have this information! We've actually been to Haddington for a festival at one time. They were having a parade and it was very interesting to experience.

    Hi, I'm not sure if you still get messages from this blog, but my wife is a descendent of Grizzel Wray/Allison. We're trying to find the location of this grave, but aren't having any luck. Can you tell us which cemetery it's in? Thanks!

    I too am a descendant of Grizzell. I was just wondering about her place of burial.
