Adie & Gray
Company Names, addresses, dates:1
  Adie & Gray, 147 Main, Richmond VA (1852-1860)
Notes:
Samuel F. Adie and John Taylor Gray had a drug store in Richmond in the 1850s.
I've seen reference to their drugstore at 147 Main Street in a pharmeutical journal
from 1852, and city directories from 1856 and 1860. I also saw a reference to
a court case against Adie & Gray in 1871.
All these references are from documents that showed up in a google search for Adie & Gray.
