Born in Cornhill on December 26, 1716, Gray was the fifth of 12 children of Philip and Dorothy Antrobus Gray, and the only one to survive infancy. His father, a scrivener given to fits of violence, abused his wife; Dorothy left him at one point, but Philip threatened to pursue her and wreak vengeance on her, and she returned to him.
