Thornton Gray was a slave on Arlington Plantation during the Lees' time at the house. He was the son of Mount Vernon slaves. He was married to Selina Gray by an Episcopal clergyman in the family parlor, the same room in which Mary Custis married Robert E. Lee.

Gray N. Thornton serves as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Wild Sheep Foundation (WSF), the premier sheep and mountain game conservation organization in the world dedicated to “Putting and Keeping Wild Sheep on the Mountain®.”

That success has helped Montana to acquire an international reputation for managing robust bighorn sheep populations. There are now 45 populations of bighorns across Montana with 36 sustaining limited hunting. Officials estimate that 5,700 bighorn sheep inhabit Montana, excluding Yellowstone and Glacier national parks.

In over 40 years, the Wild Sheep Foundation has raised and directed more than $115 million “To Put and Keep Wild Sheep on the Mountain®” – with more than $49 million raised and directed to agencies from special permits and tags alone.

The Wild Sheep Foundation is a non-profit, tax exempt organization under Section 501(c)3 of the United States IRS Code. Donations are tax deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
