Grayson Family
Born in South Carolina, Ben S. Grayson (?-1849), came to Texas before 1835, possibly with his brother, Thomas Wigg Grayson.
Ben Grayson, Thomas M. Shreve, and others owned the privateer Thomas Toby in 1836. He was a merchant at Velasco with Shreve in 1837 and ran for mayor of San Antonio in August 1840. Grayson acquired considerable land in Texas by purchasing land scrip originally issued to pay Texas soldiers. After being a merchant in Mexico during the Mexican War, he went to California. Grayson became wealthy there and died in San Francisco on July 8, 1849.
