Gray-2492 and Gray-11701 appear to represent the same person because: Birth year is 1676/77, parentage is correct, and marriage to Mary Holt is supported by Dorman P&P.

Okay, it looks like Gray-11701 is the husband of Mary Holt. We will have to determine if these are two different people or need to be merged.

This profile needs updating and it has been brought to my attention that according to Dorman's Purse and Person p. 202, Mary Holt and William Gray were married before 03 Mar 1701/02. The profile will be changed to reflect this.
