Zimri Gray, (sometimes spelled Zimry or Zimory), was the Son of Parthenia "Partheny" Stark Gray. His Father could possibly be a Robert or John Gray; although there were several Robert and John Grays in the same locations and time periods - proof of his paternal line has not yet been confirmed.

Zimri Gray was the husband of Temperance "Tempy" Stallings Gray. Unknown exact locations of their burial sites, but Census records and other family records indicate they are probably buried near kin in Graves County, Kentucky. Nor are their exact birth and death dates known. This memorial will serve to connect them to other family members to assist in further genealogical research. Edits will be updated as new info is confirmed.

Some public trees on Ancestry and Familysearch websites show him as Duncan Zimiriah Gray with a different wife. Further research is needed to determine ot rule out whether this Zimri Gray is the same person as Duncan Zimiriah Gray.

This Gray and Stark line came from Christian County, Kentucky and Posey County, Indiana. The 1830 Census lists a family of Zimory Gray living in Wabash County, Illinois, which is near the site of the Cannon-Stark Indian Massacre of 1815; across the river from Posey County, Indiana. Zimri's sister Elizabeth "Betsey Ann" Gray married Isaac Cannon, who is mentioned in the various stories and articles on the massacre as being one of the survivors. There were several inter-marriages between his mother's Stark line and the Cannon line.

The 1840 Census has the family of Zimry Gray living in Hickman County, Kentucky. By the 1850 Census, his wife Tempy is listed as head of household in Graves County, Kentucky with their 3 youngest children remaining at home. It is presumed Zimri had passed away sometime between 1840 and 1850 and that Tempy Gray was widowed by 1850. Their 2 eldest children had already married.

Zimri and Tempy's daughter Harriet Angeline Gray married William Calvin Clark. Daughter Mary Frances Gray married Thomas Calvin "Clay" Allen. Son Jesse married Margaret "Mary" Amanda Clark. Daughter Elizabeth "Lizzie" Gray married Miles Monroe Baker Sr.

Zimry Gray and Tempy "Stallins" (Stallings) Gray are confirmed as the named parents on daughter Harriet Gray Clark's death certificate.
