John Hamilton Gray
I was born June 5, 1857 to my mother Roberta Hamilton Susan Gray, and father Joseph Hamilton Gray in St.George, Bermuda. My father was an Imperial Loyalist, and Naval commissioner.

In 1949, he joined the New Brunswick Colonial Association, which was fairly new at the time. In light of the inpending confederation, I was elected to the Legislative Assebly of New Brunswick. I was made premier, and repealed the liquor. In doing so, I managed to genereally unite the political landscape of New Brunswick.

I support Confederation readily and openly. It is possibly one of the best decisions for Canada right now. In 1872, I was apointed judge of the Supreme Court of British Columbia. I Later died in Victoria British Columbia.
