Notes	The earliest mention of this John Gray is found on the roll of a military company, commanded by Capt. John Gorham of Barnstable, which took part in the ill-fated Canada expedition of 1690 under Sir William Phips. A list of the sixty men in this company is given in a petition for a grant of land by Shubael Gorham and others 12 Jun 1735, and includes the names of Elisha Hedge and Joseph Sturgis who were also Yarmouth men, and relatives of John Gray. In 1694, John Gray was one of the petitioners for the incorporation of Harwich, and in 1695 he purchased a quarter interest in the corn mill on Satuckett River. In 1699 he acquired all the rights in Harwich lands belonging to William Clark of Plymouth, his wife's uncle, and by other investments and divisions from time to time, he became the owner of a very considerable estate in Harwich. He built his house in that part of the town which is now Brewster. He was a farmer and was also at one time largely engaged in whale fishery, which proved a profitable business. In town affairs, John Gray was evidently a man of influence, and was chosen at various times for important offices. [5]
