In Response To: Gray ancestors info (jcjones)

It looks like the Gray family you are researching moved from Wright County to Martin County, Minnesota between 1900 and 1910 and stayed there until they died in 1936 and 1944.

1900 Clarion, Wright Co. Iowa Census:
William Gray, born Dec 1852, Iowa
Mary E. Gray, born Apr 1870, Wisconsin
married 14 years; 5 children (4 living)
Roscoe Gray, born Aug 1888, Iowa
Bernice Gray, born June 1890, Iowa
James Gray, born March 1892, Iowa
Vera Gray, born Oct 189?, Iowa

WWI Draft Registrations (Martin Co., Minnesota):
Roscoe Gray born 28 Aug 1888 in Clarion, IA
James O. Gray born 27 March 1892 in Clarion IA

1910 Martin Co. Minnesota Census (Lake Belt):
William Gray, 57, born Iowa
Mary Gray, 41, born Wisconsin
Roscoe Gray, 21, born Iowa
Verna A Gray, 20, born Iowa
James O. Gray, 18, born Iowa
Vera A. Gray, 16, born Iowa

1930 Martin Co. Minnesota Census
Ceylon: William and Mary C. Gray
Fraser Twp: Roscoe and Mabel Gray

Minnesota Death Index:
Mary Gray died 13 May 1944, Martin Co. MN
William Gray died 17 Oct 1936, Martin Co. MN
Roscoe Gray died 19 Oct 1983, Martin Co. MN

It looks like obituaries/cemetery records etc. from Minnesota should provide the remainder of your information. There are historical and genealogical societies in Martin County which may be of help to you.
