		John Hamilton Gray's Loyalist father settled in Nova Scotia and later moved to Prince Edward Island where he became involved in public affairs.

	Prince Edward Island - Canadian Confederation
		Island politics were characterized by a strong sense of independence in relation to the outside world, and by intense political battles internally.
		However, the Island delegates warmed to the idea of a larger union, particularly after the other colonies suggested a purchase of large land holdings -- financed by the proposed new government -- as a solution to the problem of absentee landlords.
		In December 1864, Whelan wrote that the Island was "dead set against Union in all shapes and forms." In May 1866 the provincial legislature passed the "No Terms" resolution, under the leadership of a new Conservative, anti-Confederation premier, James Pope.

	Dictionary of Canadian Biography Online
		Gray’s public statements reveal that his experience in the British army had created in him a loyalty to Britain and a sense of empire which were exceptional on the Island at the time; and yet, like other Islanders of the period, he was capable of alluding patriotically to Prince Edward Island as his “native land.”
		Gray soon emerged as one of the champions of the Protestant cause and served as chairman of the “Great Protestant Meeting” held in Charlottetown on 13 Feb. 1857 at which it was decided to establish a Protestant newspaper, the Protector and Christian Witness.
		Though Gray did not relinquish his support for confederation, he joined with his fellow delegates from the Island in arguing that the arrangements proposed regarding such matters as the composition of the Senate and representation in the House of Commons were inimical to the best interests of the Island.
