Hi kagrayson

There are quite a number of "family trees" for this GRAYSON family (of Yorks / Canada & New Zealand) -- able to be viewed in the ancestry.com website.

Hi again kagrayson

I think you will find that most of the details of the children of the GRAYSON brothers (Thomas, William, John) have been given in the family trees referred to earlier (on ancestry website).   :)
