Thomas Gray was of Seater, Walls

NOTES taken from Frank Scott (1990) Quote -
Now I move on to the Foula Grays. I call them this as there is a strong connection there but they
did in all probability come from the fourth Lord Gray through his sons who settled in UNST.
The earliest of them I can definitely trace is Thomas Gray who stayed in Seater, Walls. I cannot
find any dates for him but I reckon it must have been round 1740-5 and there is a record of
Catherine Andrewsdotter being widow of Thomas Gray in Seater. He was reputed to be very strong
and in the file is a note about him lifting a stone on to a wall which his sons could not lift.
