David Gray

David Gray was either a weaver (Prisoners vol. 2 p. 267) or a brewer (List of Persons p. 168) in Arbroath. During the rising, he acted as groom to Murray of Broughton. Taken on suspicion at Arbroath (Prisoners vol. 2, p. 266), he was brought to London to give evidence against Murray of Broughton and Balmerino--he claimed to have known the latter for "about Six or Seven Years" (Whole Proceedings, p. 20). In London he was held in the house of William Ward, King's Messenger, along with fellow witnesses James Barclay and Hugh Douglas, among others (NA SP 36/91/1/61-62).
