I was told yesterday the John Gray is my ancestor. I was told he was a captain had his house burnt down by the Brits. I googled John Gray and he is the last revolutionary veteran to die in 1868. Should I think that all that is about one person? Could there be 2 John Greys that fought in the revolutionary war? What else can you tell me please? Would a Captain know people like Washington or other well knowns of the time?

I am really excited to have him as an ancestor.
