[16957] Parents of Reuben Gray , Sr. are from Snow, Walter H., "Brooksville, Maine..." (Downeast Graphics, 1976), p. 12, who also provides Reuben's ten children. A more complete treatment of this family is in "Penobscot Pioneers," Philip Howard Gray (Camden: Penobscot Press, 1993), pp. 6-21. A Joshua Gray was at the reduction of the Louisburg fortress, and is probably our Joshua. Our Joshua r. Berwick, the Kennebec area of Lincoln county and then the Bagaduce area (Brooksville) of Hancock county. See also "The Descendants of Joshua Gray," Gray Family Genealogy Book Committee (Ellsworth, ME: Downeast Graphics and Printing, 2005). http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~drowles/gray/10000002.htm states "He died before Sep 22, 1790; when Joshua Snow, witness to the deed, said he was dead. He resided in that part of Sedgwick now a part of Brooksville, Maine." "The Scotch-Irish in America," Henry Jones Ford (Baltimore: Genealogica Publiushing Co., 2000), pp. 231-232: "Andrew and Reuben Gray, sons of the above-mentioned Joshua Gray, took part in the expeditions which Governor Pownall of Massachusetts fitted out in 1759 to capture from the French the mouth of the Penobscot River, and the Grays were in the guard ot twenty men who acocmpanied the Governor when he occupied an abandoned French fort and hoisted the Kings colors. The place is now known as Castine, on the east side of Penobscot Bay. A strong fort was erected and settlement began in this region, the two Gray brothers being among the first to take up land. Several other brothers followed them, and eventually their old father and mother joined them. The Grays are now in large numbers in the lower Penobscot country . . . ."

[3067] Edward m. Sarah _____ who probably d. in Lynn, MA. Edward is perhaps son of John Hall who was at Lynn, Mass. in 1630, probably the "Mr." John Hall admitted as an inhabitant of Salem 28 June 1637. {-"The Halls of New England," the Rev. David B. Hall, Albany, NY: Joel Munsell's Sons, 1883, p.720} Ancestry.com offers: "Hall Name Meaning - English, Scottish, Irish, German, and Scandinavian: from Middle English hall (Old English heall), Middle High German halle, Old Norse holl all meaning 'hall' (a spacious residence), hence a topographic name for someone who lived in or near a hall or an occupational name for a servant employed at a hall. In some cases it may be a habitational name from places named with this word, which in some parts of Germany and Austria in the Middle Ages also denoted a salt mine. The English name has been established in Ireland since the Middle Ages, and, according to MacLysaght, has become numerous in Ulster since the 17th century."

https://www.houseofnames.com/kenniston-family-crest offers: "The forbears of the name Kenniston once lived in or near some now-lost place called Kynaston, which experts agree was probably in the English border county of Shropshire. The surname Kenniston belongs to the category of habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads.
Early Origins of the Kenniston family
The surname Kenniston was first found in Shropshire, where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor of Kinnerly, some say before the Norman Conquest of England by Duke William of Normandy in 1066. Conjecturally they are descended from the Princes of Powys in Wales, through Griffith, son of Joerweth Goch, Lord of Mochnan, younger son of Meredith, Prince of Powis who took refuge in Shropshire. King Henry III of England gave him lands in that county. He married Matilda, the heiress of Ralph le Strange by whom he acquired the Manor of Kinnerly. Griffith' son, Griffith Vychan settled at Tre-gynvarth, which, when anglicized, is Kynvarth's Town, which, when spoken, became slurred into Kynastown, or Kynaston.
