Richardson Gray was born in 1845 in the United States. He pursued medical studies and became a trained physician, which prepared him for his future missionary work. Gray felt a calling to serve in a foreign land and joined the American Methodist Episcopal Church, which was involved in missionary activities in India. Gray arrived in India in 1873, where he was tasked with setting up a mission station in the Pithoragarh area of Uttarakhand. Pithoragarh was strategically located at a crossroads, making it an important site for missionary work.
