She wrote of her life and her\n         husband and her children, as well as local and national\n         events. The diary is a good source on life in 1800s\n         Fredericksburg and it compliments area histories.","Mrs. Gray wrote mostly about her daily life and spent most\n         of it in Fredericksburg after marrying \n          William Fairfax Gray in 1817. A great deal\n         of her time was spent receiving vistors or visiting friends\n         and family. She also spent time with the \n          Circle of Industry , which seemed to be a\n         sewing circle; and, put together a craft fair. Mrs. Gray also\n         wrote of shopping trips, changing homes, servants, and\n         attending \n          St. George's Episcopal Church . She used\n         the diary to record some recipes and inventories.","Mrs. Gray had at least eight children. In the diary, she\n         mentions \n          Peter Gray , \n          Jane Gray , \n          Evelina Gray , \n          George Fairfax Gray , \n          Ann* Gray , \n          Franklin Gray , and two other children.\n         One son died prior to 1822; daughter Jane in 1823; and, son\n         George in 1825. She mentions her children during important\n         events in their life, such as christenings, travels, their\n         private school education, and illnesses.","Mrs. Gray mentions her husband fleetingly in each entry,\n         referring to him as \"Mr. Gray,\" giving the diary a formal\n         tone; he was twelve years older than his wife. He published\n         several books and was the editor and proprietor of the \n          Virginia Herald . His literary profession\n         provided many opportunities for travel, taking him frequently\n         to \n          Washington and \n          Alexandria . Mr. Gray was a Mason and\n         while in \n          Fredericksburg became Master of the Lodge.\n         He was also a colonel in the army through membership in the \n          Washington Guard , attended his lodge\n         meetings as well as meetings of the literary and music\n         societies, and was active in the fire commission and in local\n         politics. He left Fredericksburg in 1835 and travelled to \n          Texas where he ultimately settled; his\n         [published] diary gives detailed information of these\n         travels.","Mrs. Gray often writes of her extended family. Her father\n         and mother were frequent visitors, and she wrote of her\n         father's death in 1827. She also writes about her four\n         sisters: \n          Mary Stone , \n          Evelina Stone , \n          Louisa Stone , and \n          Margaret Stone . Mary married \n          Thomas Botts ; Evelina married \n          Charles Smith ; Louisa married \n          John Triplett ; and, Margaret married Dr.\n         Brown. It is unclear whether this Dr. Brown is the Dr. Browne\n         who is frequently mentioned in the diary. She seemed to be the\n         closest to Evelina and Mary.","Mrs. Gray also mentions events in Fredericksburg and the\n         nation, including topics such as the weather, disease, deaths,\n         medicine, fires, General \n          LaFayette 's visit, and transportation.\n         Each entry begins with an account of the weather. She\n         frequently wrote about illness and medicine, referring to\n         lockjaw, consumption, smallpox, the croup, toothaches,\n         headaches, and colds, and to leeching as the cureall for these\n         ailments. The diary recounts the events surrounding the great\n         fire of 1822, during which the \n          Gray Family lost their home, as well as\n         other smaller fires in Fredericksburg during this period.\n         Another fascinating event that occurred in Fredericksburg was\n         the visit of General \n          LaFayette in 1824. Mr. Gray addressed\n         LaFayette as Master of the \n          Masonic Lodge and invited him to become a\n         member. The diary offers a very good first hand account of the\n         visit and the general excitement it caused. The diary also\n         mentions the modes of transporation in use at the time: giggs,\n         steamboats, stagecoaches, and other forms of horse travel.\n         Mrs. Gray also mentions national events, such as the election\n         of \n          John Quincy Adams and \n          Andrew Jackson , the deaths of \n          Thomas Jefferson and \n          John Adams , a fire in \n          Alexandria, Virginia an Indian raid, and\n         the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of\n         Independence.","Mrs. Gray used the diary to record events of interest and\n         to document historical events. She wrote a great deal about\n         her daily life along with her children and husband. It is an\n         interesting look into the life of a young woman's life from\n         her point of view.

She wrote of her life and her\n         husband and her children, as well as local and national\n         events. The diary is a good source on life in 1800s\n         Fredericksburg and it compliments area histories.","Mrs. Gray wrote mostly about her daily life and spent most\n         of it in Fredericksburg after marrying \n          William Fairfax Gray in 1817. A great deal\n         of her time was spent receiving vistors or visiting friends\n         and family. She also spent time with the \n          Circle of Industry , which seemed to be a\n         sewing circle; and, put together a craft fair. Mrs. Gray also\n         wrote of shopping trips, changing homes, servants, and\n         attending \n          St. George's Episcopal Church . She used\n         the diary to record some recipes and inventories.","Mrs. Gray had at least eight children. In the diary, she\n         mentions \n          Peter Gray , \n          Jane Gray , \n          Evelina Gray , \n          George Fairfax Gray , \n          Ann* Gray , \n          Franklin Gray , and two other children.\n         One son died prior to 1822; daughter Jane in 1823; and, son\n         George in 1825. She mentions her children during important\n         events in their life, such as christenings, travels, their\n         private school education, and illnesses.","Mrs. Gray mentions her husband fleetingly in each entry,\n         referring to him as \"Mr. Gray,\" giving the diary a formal\n         tone; he was twelve years older than his wife. He published\n         several books and was the editor and proprietor of the \n          Virginia Herald . His literary profession\n         provided many opportunities for travel, taking him frequently\n         to \n          Washington and \n          Alexandria . Mr. Gray was a Mason and\n         while in \n          Fredericksburg became Master of the Lodge.\n         He was also a colonel in the army through membership in the \n          Washington Guard , attended his lodge\n         meetings as well as meetings of the literary and music\n         societies, and was active in the fire commission and in local\n         politics. He left Fredericksburg in 1835 and travelled to \n          Texas where he ultimately settled; his\n         [published] diary gives detailed information of these\n         travels.","Mrs. Gray often writes of her extended family. Her father\n         and mother were frequent visitors, and she wrote of her\n         father's death in 1827. She also writes about her four\n         sisters: \n          Mary Stone , \n          Evelina Stone , \n          Louisa Stone , and \n          Margaret Stone . Mary married \n          Thomas Botts ; Evelina married \n          Charles Smith ; Louisa married \n          John Triplett ; and, Margaret married Dr.\n         Brown. It is unclear whether this Dr. Brown is the Dr. Browne\n         who is frequently mentioned in the diary. She seemed to be the\n         closest to Evelina and Mary.","Mrs. Gray also mentions events in Fredericksburg and the\n         nation, including topics such as the weather, disease, deaths,\n         medicine, fires, General \n          LaFayette 's visit, and transportation.\n         Each entry begins with an account of the weather. She\n         frequently wrote about illness and medicine, referring to\n         lockjaw, consumption, smallpox, the croup, toothaches,\n         headaches, and colds, and to leeching as the cureall for these\n         ailments. The diary recounts the events surrounding the great\n         fire of 1822, during which the \n          Gray Family lost their home, as well as\n         other smaller fires in Fredericksburg during this period.\n         Another fascinating event that occurred in Fredericksburg was\n         the visit of General \n          LaFayette in 1824. Mr. Gray addressed\n         LaFayette as Master of the \n          Masonic Lodge and invited him to become a\n         member. The diary offers a very good first hand account of the\n         visit and the general excitement it caused. The diary also\n         mentions the modes of transporation in use at the time: giggs,\n         steamboats, stagecoaches, and other forms of horse travel.\n         Mrs. Gray also mentions national events, such as the election\n         of \n          John Quincy Adams and \n          Andrew Jackson , the deaths of \n          Thomas Jefferson and \n          John Adams , a fire in \n          Alexandria, Virginia an Indian raid, and\n         the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of\n         Independence.","Mrs. Gray used the diary to record events of interest and\n         to document historical events. She wrote a great deal about\n         her daily life along with her children and husband. It is an\n         interesting look into the life of a young woman's life from\n         her point of view.

She wrote of her life and her\n         husband and her children, as well as local and national\n         events. The diary is a good source on life in 1800s\n         Fredericksburg and it compliments area histories.","Mrs. Gray wrote mostly about her daily life and spent most\n         of it in Fredericksburg after marrying \n          William Fairfax Gray in 1817. A great deal\n         of her time was spent receiving vistors or visiting friends\n         and family. She also spent time with the \n          Circle of Industry , which seemed to be a\n         sewing circle; and, put together a craft fair. Mrs. Gray also\n         wrote of shopping trips, changing homes, servants, and\n         attending \n          St. George's Episcopal Church . She used\n         the diary to record some recipes and inventories.","Mrs. Gray had at least eight children. In the diary, she\n         mentions \n          Peter Gray , \n          Jane Gray , \n          Evelina Gray , \n          George Fairfax Gray , \n          Ann* Gray , \n          Franklin Gray , and two other children.\n         One son died prior to 1822; daughter Jane in 1823; and, son\n         George in 1825. She mentions her children during important\n         events in their life, such as christenings, travels, their\n         private school education, and illnesses.","Mrs. Gray mentions her husband fleetingly in each entry,\n         referring to him as \"Mr. Gray,\" giving the diary a formal\n         tone; he was twelve years older than his wife. He published\n         several books and was the editor and proprietor of the \n          Virginia Herald . His literary profession\n         provided many opportunities for travel, taking him frequently\n         to \n          Washington and \n          Alexandria . Mr. Gray was a Mason and\n         while in \n          Fredericksburg became Master of the Lodge.\n         He was also a colonel in the army through membership in the \n          Washington Guard , attended his lodge\n         meetings as well as meetings of the literary and music\n         societies, and was active in the fire commission and in local\n         politics. He left Fredericksburg in 1835 and travelled to \n          Texas where he ultimately settled; his\n         [published] diary gives detailed information of these\n         travels.","Mrs. Gray often writes of her extended family. Her father\n         and mother were frequent visitors, and she wrote of her\n         father's death in 1827. She also writes about her four\n         sisters: \n          Mary Stone , \n          Evelina Stone , \n          Louisa Stone , and \n          Margaret Stone . Mary married \n          Thomas Botts ; Evelina married \n          Charles Smith ; Louisa married \n          John Triplett ; and, Margaret married Dr.\n         Brown. It is unclear whether this Dr. Brown is the Dr. Browne\n         who is frequently mentioned in the diary. She seemed to be the\n         closest to Evelina and Mary.","Mrs. Gray also mentions events in Fredericksburg and the\n         nation, including topics such as the weather, disease, deaths,\n         medicine, fires, General \n          LaFayette 's visit, and transportation.\n         Each entry begins with an account of the weather. She\n         frequently wrote about illness and medicine, referring to\n         lockjaw, consumption, smallpox, the croup, toothaches,\n         headaches, and colds, and to leeching as the cureall for these\n         ailments. The diary recounts the events surrounding the great\n         fire of 1822, during which the \n          Gray Family lost their home, as well as\n         other smaller fires in Fredericksburg during this period.\n         Another fascinating event that occurred in Fredericksburg was\n         the visit of General \n          LaFayette in 1824. Mr. Gray addressed\n         LaFayette as Master of the \n          Masonic Lodge and invited him to become a\n         member. The diary offers a very good first hand account of the\n         visit and the general excitement it caused. The diary also\n         mentions the modes of transporation in use at the time: giggs,\n         steamboats, stagecoaches, and other forms of horse travel.\n         Mrs. Gray also mentions national events, such as the election\n         of \n          John Quincy Adams and \n          Andrew Jackson , the deaths of \n          Thomas Jefferson and \n          John Adams , a fire in \n          Alexandria, Virginia an Indian raid, and\n         the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of\n         Independence.","Mrs. Gray used the diary to record events of interest and\n         to document historical events. She wrote a great deal about\n         her daily life along with her children and husband. It is an\n         interesting look into the life of a young woman's life from\n         her point of view. Relevant and complementary information may\n         be found in \n          Marriage Records of the City of\n         Fredericksburg and of Orange, Spotsylvania, and Stafford\n         Counties, 1722-1850 and \n          The History of the City of\n         Fredericksburg, Virginia.","List of names found in the diary (in the order in which\n         they appear): \n          Nancy Lucas Long Lunsford Long Mr. \n          Thomas Botts Mr. \n          Gordon Mrs. \n          Edwards Mr. \n          Thorn Mr. \n          William Morton Mr. \n          Grinnan Mr. \n          Willis Susan Green Peter (son) Ann Scott Mrs. \n          Fitzgerald Sister Mary Mr. \n          Harrison Mr. \n          Williams Sukey Perry Mr. \n          Lockwood Mrs. \n          Gordon Mrs. \n          Fitzhugh Evalina (daughter) Evalina (sister) Thomas Goodwin Aunt Graham Mrs. \n          Car Judge \n          Green Anna Smith Dr. \n          Wellford Mr. (Rev.) \n          McGuire Sally Lucas Rebecca Lomax Mr. \n          Scott Mr. \n          R.

She wrote of her life and her\n         husband and her children, as well as local and national\n         events. The diary is a good source on life in 1800s\n         Fredericksburg and it compliments area histories.","Mrs. Gray wrote mostly about her daily life and spent most\n         of it in Fredericksburg after marrying \n          William Fairfax Gray in 1817. A great deal\n         of her time was spent receiving vistors or visiting friends\n         and family. She also spent time with the \n          Circle of Industry , which seemed to be a\n         sewing circle; and, put together a craft fair. Mrs. Gray also\n         wrote of shopping trips, changing homes, servants, and\n         attending \n          St. George's Episcopal Church . She used\n         the diary to record some recipes and inventories.","Mrs. Gray had at least eight children. In the diary, she\n         mentions \n          Peter Gray , \n          Jane Gray , \n          Evelina Gray , \n          George Fairfax Gray , \n          Ann* Gray , \n          Franklin Gray , and two other children.\n         One son died prior to 1822; daughter Jane in 1823; and, son\n         George in 1825. She mentions her children during important\n         events in their life, such as christenings, travels, their\n         private school education, and illnesses.","Mrs. Gray mentions her husband fleetingly in each entry,\n         referring to him as \"Mr. Gray,\" giving the diary a formal\n         tone; he was twelve years older than his wife. He published\n         several books and was the editor and proprietor of the \n          Virginia Herald . His literary profession\n         provided many opportunities for travel, taking him frequently\n         to \n          Washington and \n          Alexandria . Mr. Gray was a Mason and\n         while in \n          Fredericksburg became Master of the Lodge.\n         He was also a colonel in the army through membership in the \n          Washington Guard , attended his lodge\n         meetings as well as meetings of the literary and music\n         societies, and was active in the fire commission and in local\n         politics. He left Fredericksburg in 1835 and travelled to \n          Texas where he ultimately settled; his\n         [published] diary gives detailed information of these\n         travels.","Mrs. Gray often writes of her extended family. Her father\n         and mother were frequent visitors, and she wrote of her\n         father's death in 1827. She also writes about her four\n         sisters: \n          Mary Stone , \n          Evelina Stone , \n          Louisa Stone , and \n          Margaret Stone . Mary married \n          Thomas Botts ; Evelina married \n          Charles Smith ; Louisa married \n          John Triplett ; and, Margaret married Dr.\n         Brown. It is unclear whether this Dr. Brown is the Dr. Browne\n         who is frequently mentioned in the diary. She seemed to be the\n         closest to Evelina and Mary.","Mrs. Gray also mentions events in Fredericksburg and the\n         nation, including topics such as the weather, disease, deaths,\n         medicine, fires, General \n          LaFayette 's visit, and transportation.\n         Each entry begins with an account of the weather. She\n         frequently wrote about illness and medicine, referring to\n         lockjaw, consumption, smallpox, the croup, toothaches,\n         headaches, and colds, and to leeching as the cureall for these\n         ailments. The diary recounts the events surrounding the great\n         fire of 1822, during which the \n          Gray Family lost their home, as well as\n         other smaller fires in Fredericksburg during this period.\n         Another fascinating event that occurred in Fredericksburg was\n         the visit of General \n          LaFayette in 1824. Mr. Gray addressed\n         LaFayette as Master of the \n          Masonic Lodge and invited him to become a\n         member. The diary offers a very good first hand account of the\n         visit and the general excitement it caused. The diary also\n         mentions the modes of transporation in use at the time: giggs,\n         steamboats, stagecoaches, and other forms of horse travel.\n         Mrs. Gray also mentions national events, such as the election\n         of \n          John Quincy Adams and \n          Andrew Jackson , the deaths of \n          Thomas Jefferson and \n          John Adams , a fire in \n          Alexandria, Virginia an Indian raid, and\n         the fiftieth anniversary of the Declaration of\n         Independence.","Mrs. Gray used the diary to record events of interest and\n         to document historical events. She wrote a great deal about\n         her daily life along with her children and husband. It is an\n         interesting look into the life of a young woman's life from\n         her point of view.
