He was a younger son of Sir James Gray, 1st Baronet, by his wife Hester Dodd. He served for many years in the Household Cavalry, and was promoted to lieutenant-colonel of the 1st Troop of Horse Guards in July 1749. On 19 July 1759 he was appointed colonel of the 61st Regiment of Foot, and in 1761 he was promoted major-general.

On 9 January 1773 he succeeded his brother James in the baronetcy, but he died the following month on 14 February, and was buried at Kensington on 17 February 1773. He had no children by his wife Charlotte, and the baronetcy became extinct. His widow died in 1788.
