JoLee (Gregory) Spears, Raleigh, NC 12-12-87 November 1998 note: JoLee does not have these papers anymore, just this file saved to disk. Note: The following is from a hard-to-read copy of material sent to me by a descendant of one Thomas Gregory of Cumberland Co., NC. Its source was given as the Vertical File at the NC State Lib., but the librarian and I have not been able to locate it. GREGORY FAMILY Robert Glenn, who was born in 1775 and died in March, 1839, married Fanny (Frances) Gregory. Her father, William James Grgory, was a Revolutionary soldier and his application for a pension furnishes most of the detailed information given here. He moved from Hyco River, Halifax County, Virginia, to Orange County, N.C. before the Revolutionary War, and lived there until the close of the war, when he moved for a short time to _____? County and then to Lincoln County, where he died. He and his wife are buried at Olney in graves marked by rough field stones only. He was born Aug. 11, 1750[1] and died July 11 1836. On Jan. 1, 1779, he married Margaret Morris, who was born June 13, 1758, and died in April, 1850. They had fifteen children. Filed with his application is a page from his Bible, giving his family record. It seems to be in his handwriting and appears in part, at least, to have been copied from memory, as certain dates are evidently wrong. As there is no way to check these dates, they are given as they are found. According to this record, their children were: 1. Sally, born Nov. 4, 1779; 2. Thomson, born May 17, 1780; 3. Johnson, born Jan. 6, 1783; [1782] 4. Mary, born April 15, 1783; 5. Margaret, born Jan. 13, 1785; 6. Fanny, born July 5, 1786; 7. Hosea, born Jan. 7, 1788; 8. Joseph, born April 2, 1790; 9. Elizabeth, born Jan. 15, 1792; 10. Elizabeth, born July 4, 1793; 11. Margaret, born Aug. 14, 1794; 12. Nancy, born May 2, 1795; 13. Susan, born Dec. 22, 1795; [1800] 14. Anne, born May 24, 1791; 15. Martha, born Feb. 10, 1803 The first Elizabeth in the above list died before the next, naming later children for earlier ones that had died was not unusual, child was born, or there is an error in names. Anna married John Kincaid, a Revolutionary soldier. According to her tombstone at Olney, she died Sept. 17, 1868, "aged 71 years." She must, then, have been born in 1797 rather than in 1791. Her husband was about 52 years older than she was. William Gregory saw service against the Indians on the frontier in Burke County in 1774. In 1780 he served against the British on Broad River; against Tories at Shallow Ford, Yadkin River; to guard prisoners taken at [File ends here].
