---------------------- Gregorys and Fews in Migration Patterns from the 1700s By Orville Boyd Jenkins Posted on Ancestry.com 16 October 2017 One factor in reconstructing a family lineage are patterns of movement and migration. These migration paths are helpful in finding and evaluating records in our Gregory and related Few line. We see Gregory records in a generational pattern along the migration streams along the tidewater area or valleys southwards and westward. Westward Records are being discovered in the westward line from Philadelphia through Frederick and Hagerstown, Maryland, through what is now West Virginia, still part of Virginia in the era we are looking at, and on to Ohio and Indiana. Brothers John, Richard and Benjamin Gregory, thought to be sons of Isaac Gregory of Pennsylvania, are mentioned several times in lists of residents of old Frederick County, Virginia, a large area at the northern end of the Shenandoah Valley, also on a common east-west migration route. Records for a younger Richard Gregory are found in Culpeper County and Fauquier County, Virginia, on this westward path south of the Pennsylvania border. These two counties were established in 1749, cut out of Orange County, the original huge area from which Frederick County was originally established in 1743. These counties bordered Frederick County on the east. Dates and locations of various records match a line of movement from the residence of Richard's likely grandfather Benjamin Gregory of Pennsylvania, into Frederick County, and later back to eastern Virginia in Prince William County, across the Potomac from Washington, DC. This westward line of migration connects with the great Shenandoah Valley running southwestward along the eastern edge of the Appalachian Mountains in what is now West Virginia. Records for a Lewis Gregory, who appears to be a son of Benjamin, son of Isaac, are found along this Shenadoah Valley route then across into the part of Virginia that later became Kentucky, one of the areas where Fews and Gregorys come into contact. This matches the pattern of residence and Gregory-Few marriages in some of these areas along this southward line of migration. Details are found in individual notes for the Fews and Gregorys. Gregorys from this lineage moved westward a bit to the part of Virginia that is now northern Kentucky. Southward Gregorys are found along the Shenandoah Valley which runs southwestward from Hagerstown to Bristol, Virginia/Tennessee, on the border, on through Jefferson and Cocke County, which were all one area of North Carolina, then East Tennessee (current I-81 to I-40 to Knoxville) in the 1700s and early 1800s and on toward Cherokee and contiguous counties in Alabama. We find Gregorys that appear to be from two different lineages who followed the Shenandoah or similar route from Philadelphia-Baltimore through Virginia into Tennessee, our line through the easterly route of the named east Tennessee counties, the other a bit more westerly, with members of both lines in Kentucky. These two lines seem to be connected to the same line from Pennsylvania and northern Virginia. But there are indication of one or two separate migration streams in the same areas. Early sources are not clear on these lines, and similar names in what may be different lineages seem to have been confused in some genealogies. I have been through all these areas and explored these lines of migration so have these in mind as I read through records and watch for connections and clues. Westward Ho Gregorys in the line of James Henry Gregory and Rachel Lewis are found in those counties of Tennessee from Jefferson-Cocke on to Knox, McMinn (where we find both these Gregorys, with apparently no crossover), Franklin, etc, in the westward migration route. Gregorys of our lineage also seem to have moved northwestward through the mountain passes toward Louisville. Fews and Gregorys are connected in the states of Virginia, Kentucky (which was originally part of Virginia colony), North Carolina and Tennessee (which was originally part of North Carolina Colony) in several generations. The Fews in North Carolina apparently followed the westerly route over the Smokies into Tennessee into Jefferson County, Tennessee, and surrounding counties where they connected again with the Gregory lineage. We find them in the family of Francis Marion Few from North Carolina Jefferson County, Tennessee, where his daughter Letha married Andrew Jackson Gregory, my great great grandfather's brother. Crossflow Traffic went both ways along those Midwestern routes over a period of two centuries. Fews moved into the Louisville, Kentucky, area from Indiana (across the Ohio River. Gregorys and Fews also moved from eastern Tennessee into Kentucky. Great migrations northward occurred in the 1920s and later because of extensive floods along the Mississippi, destroying much of the Delta South. The depression added to this exodus northward. Midwestern droughts accelerated movement to California. Further industrialization in the next two decades and after WWII accelerated this migration northward and westward. The geographical indicators are not only contiguous counties, but similarly in the counties along these common natural migration routes, which also reveal patterns of the same family decade to decade and generation to generation. These patterns match the same kinds of patterns we find in ethnic investigations all over the world. ---------------------- The nickname Jack is reported from Gregory family tradition by Alfred Leroy Gregory in a RootsWeb.com forum message 30 Apr 2000. The information originally was collected from family members by Loretta Gregory Gay (my aunt). Note that in the 1860 Cherokee County, Alabama, census, Andrew Jackson's middle initial is given as G. Would this indicate that the family themselves had given this as the middle initial, or had indicated that the middle name was spelled with a G? The enumerator has a very skilled and educated hand, so it does not seem he would have mis-spelled Jackson with a G if he knew this was the middle name, unless otherwise instructed. The 1860 census reports Andrew G as age 10, which would lead to an estimated birth year of 1850. Also the birth state of Andrew is reported as Tennessee, like his parents. Howver, we know his parents were living in Cherokee County, Alabama, when he was born. 1860 Federal Census, Cherokee County, Alabama, 11 June, District 3, PO Ringgold, page 7, Hse/Fam #37 Gregory Henry 35 M Farmer born Tenn Gregory Reachael 30 M Domestic born Tenn Gregory Andrew G 10 M born Tenn [b abt 1850] 1870 Federal Census, Jefferson County, Tennessee, 16 August, District 5, PO Trion, page 10, Hse/Fam #71 Henry Gregory 50 M W Wagon Maker $767 Personal Estate b Tennessee Cannot read or write Rachel Gregory 43 F W Keeps House b Tennessee [b abt 1827] [No literacy report] Jackson Gregory 19 M W b Alabama [b abt 1851] Cannot read or write Reported in 1880 Jefferson County Census as Jackson Gregory (Ancestry.com transcribes it as Gregary). They transcribe the name of Jackson and his father Henry as Gregary, while the name of brother (Dock) Patrick and his household was transcribed as Gregory. The 1880 census reports Jack as age 27. This would place his birth approximately 1852. However, exact date of birth of younger brother Dock Patrick in September of 1852 leads to an estimate of 1851 as latest possible birth year for Jack. His wife is named Letha. In 1900 her name is reported as Lethy (Letha), and in 1910 Leathy.

Thus she gained 14 years by the 1910 census. Mattie also gained 14 years between 1900 and 1910. In 1900, there was a daughter named Ethel V, which would match the name of Viola we find later in 1930. Minnie in 1910 matches Harriett in 1900. And notice that the age of everyone is increased only 4-6 years since 1900. The name Ola in 1910 could be a nickname for Viola. We see Ethel also gained 14 years between 1900 and 1910. The name Viola in 1930 matches the middle initial of Ethel, but her age is about 8 years too young. If she was 12 in 1910, we would expect her to be 32 in 1930, but she is reported as 24! I finally found this family in the 1920 census.

The county is not reported, but I find Taft is an unincorporated place in Lincoln County. Perhaps one of his children lived in Taft. Or maybe there was another place called Taft in Cocke or Jefferson County. His wife Leathy was buried in Chestnut Hill Cemetery, Dandridge. Lincoln County is in south central Tennessee on the border with Alabama, north of Huntsville. This death certificate reports his birth date as 7 Sep 1850, while the 1900 had said Nov 1849.

---------------------------- Andrew Jackson Gregory 3 (20 September 1825 -20 September 1890), sixth son of Benjamin J. and Elizabeth C. Jeter Gregory, married (ca. 1846) Levicia Wilkes (1830-1904). Their issue: Benjamin Simpson, Andrew Eusebus, William Harrison, States Rights, Sarah and Hostletine. Levicia (Levitia) was the eldest daughter of Abner Wilkes (10 December 1801-16 November 1884), Image LInk who lived in Chester County, South Carolina. His first wife, Elizabeth, daughter of William and Levicia Cornwell, died, leaving Levicia, two younger brothers and a sister. Abner married again and had seven more children by Lucinda Hardwick (see History of Thomas Wilkes, p. 361). A family story is related by Polly Wirtz Johnson, granddaughter of Simpson and Mary Skinner Gregory. Levicia and her brothers attended a school out in the woods and she spoke of crossing a small stream of water enroute to school. On one occasion, a very handsome young man on horseback crossed her path. He nodded and spoke. She wondered who he was. Another morning the young man crossed again; this time lifting his hat and smiling. She still wondered who he was. Levicia was getting older and at that time rich men sent their daughters to finishing school after they completed school at home. She was sent to Charleston to stay with an aunt who ran a boarding house. A little while later she was seen in town by a sheriff of that city. He was attracted to this charming young lady. It was the custom for men wishing to call upon a girl to send a slave with a calling card and candy or flowers; which he did, but all was returned with a “no.†Then a Methodist minister spotted her and he, too, sent a card and flowers. Again, a “no,†he could not see her - but she kept the flowers. Then a Mr. Andrew Jackson Gregory sent his card, an old family friend (only a small strip of land separated the two home places). “Yes,†he was welcome to call. When she saw him, she realized he was the handsome young man she had seen at the crossing on two occasions before. The friendship bloomed, and she and A.J. were wed. Simpson and Eusebus were born in South Carolina. Harrison and States Rights were born in Mississippi, followed by Sarah and Hostletine (who both died young). The 1850 census of Union County, S.C. (#108) shows Andrew Jackson to be 24 years old; Levicia, 20; Simpson, 3; and Eusebus, 1. The 1860 census in Chickasaw County, Mississippi (p. 92) shows Andrew Jackson, 35; Levicia, 30; Simpson, 13; Eusebus, 11; and Harrison, 3. Levicia is listed as “Levitia†and their post office was Redland. Andrew Jackson left South Carolina in 1857 for Mississippi to settle new farmland. The family journeyed by covered wagon, carrying a maid, a Negro man, and Simpson and Eusebus. Both Levicia and the maid wept to leave. A three year drought in South Carolina, plus the obvious over-population prompted the move by Andrew Jackson and three of his brothers. They settled on land that was almost identical to Union County, South Carolina, both in appearance and soil composition. They felt comfortable with hill land. There are family accounts of trials with heavy Chuquatonchee bottomland farms that were abandoned because they did not know how to cope successfully with the different soil conditions. Also, mosquitoes and malaria were more prevalent in the bottoms, though they did not know of the connection at the time. The soil type and crop failures due to water overflow were primary reasons for their return to the hills and branch bottoms. Later information by Hortense Smith and Lillian Renshaw, granddaughters, stated that Andrew and Levicia originally settled in an area called Redland in Chickasaw County, close to the Natchez Trace, before moving to Okolona. This was just south of Pontotoc, Mississippi, one of the first settlements in that country and close to the site of the Indian treaty signing with the Chickasaw Indian Nation in which they sold their homeland to the United States. William Harrison Gregory, brother of Andrew Jackson, owned several hundred acres in the same area, now part of the Natchez Trace Game Preserve. Hortense and Lillian were told by Harrison Gregory, their father, that his little sister, Hostletine, was buried in Redland. This must be Shiloh Church, close to Van Vleet, Mississippi. Harrison stated that she was just a baby when she died. Her marker has not been found. Sarah, age 6 years, is buried at Friendship Church, three miles northwest of Van Vleet. Andrew Jackson signed up during the first year of the War Between the States. During the second year, Benjamin Simpson wanted to take his father’s place, even though he was only sixteen years old at the time. Andrew Jackson disagreed, but Simps said, “I will go anyway if you do not consent for me to go.†Simps took a slave along to make his bed and fires, etc. In an old tintype, Simps was very handsome in his Confederate uniform. Another “family lore†story is that Andrew Jackson had $60,000 worth of baled cotton confiscated by Union troops during the War for which he was never compensated. Cotton was worth one dollar a pound in silver in those days. Needless to say, in family accounts, the Northerners were “damn Yankees!†One of Andrew Jackson’s nieces from Texas has written of family stories of Andrew Jackson’s concern for his former slaves after the Civil War. Many slaves stayed on at the farms of their former owners as “sharecroppers†because of a sense of security with people they knew and understood. A paternalistic sense of responsibility often existed in these owners. One story was about Andrew Jackson repeatedly getting his Negroes out of jail on Saturday night after their arrests for drunkenness. As was the custom - even up to World War II - the farm Negroes, after a full week of toil in the fields, borrowed a wagon and team of mules to go five miles to town for relaxation, food buying, etc. Saturday night on Main Street in Okolona in those days was a mass of black humanity (75% of the population) smelling of fresh starched overalls and cotton dresses and dime store talcum powder and pungent food. Corn whiskey, “white lightening,†was cheap and provided escape from a dull life. Some of the blacks, after several hours of socializing, drinking moonshine whiskey, eating cheese and crackers, bologna sausage, and nickel cans of sardines, would become quite drunk and not infrequently get into knife or razor fights. The local Constable and Chief of Police would occupy themselves for several hours carting the hapless ones off to the jail drunk tank. Their “black jacks,†properly applied (often with scalp lacerations that were not sewed up), discouraged arguments as to the necessity of the trip. The more severe knife wounds were attended to by local doctors, who would have preferred being home. Needless to say, the landowner was called upon to pay their fines and could then send the remorseful ones home in the company of the remainder of his “hands.†Their aching heads usually had recovered sufficiently by early Monday morning to allow a return to the cotton fields. Another story of Andrew Jackson: His wife Levicia had a dream shortly before a scheduled trip back to South Carolina on business. She dreamed she saw him in his coffin and deemed it a premonition. She did not tell him of the dream, but prevailed on him to delay his trip, which he did. Shortly thereafter, he died of apparent natural causes. Andrew Jackson’s farms were divided among his four sons, Ben Simpson, Eusebus, William Harrison and States Rights. Andrew Jackson and Levicia are buried in the Grange Hall Cemetery (now abandoned) about 3.5 miles west of Okolona. Apparently Andrew Jackson was a gentleman, good citizen and substantial member of the community. -- Gregory Family Genealogy, http://gregoryfamilygenealogy.org/?page_id=323, p 4 ---------------------------- 1850 Federal Census, Union County, South Carolina, 4 November, page 14 (scan 190), Hse/Fam #108 Andrew Gregory 24 M Planter $2300 Real Estate b South Carolina [b abt 1826] Levisa Gregory 20 F b South Carolina [b abt 1830] Simpson Gregory 3 M b South Carolina [b abt 1847] Eusebius Gregory 1 M b South Carolina [b abt 1849] Next door to Andrew and Levicia is a William Savage and on the other side of him is Andrew's cousin James Jeter and in his household is James Gregory.

GREGORY (12 December 1786-7 June 1853), son of Gerard and Freelove Gregory, married Elizabeth Crosby Jeter (2 January 1794-18 May 1851), daughter of James and Mary Crosby Jeter, on 11 June 1811. Both Elizabeth and Benjamin were lifelong residents of Union County. .....Beniamin's will (which is presented in full on the pages following) is an interesting document in many ways. He willed 1547 acres of land specifically and made reference to other acreage. There is evidence of his having bought 1262 acres during his life and having sold 808.5 acres, plus his share of the 100 acres of his parent's estate. .....The explanation for this is fairly simple. Very often, in the early years of our country, deeds were not even recorded until the buyer was ready to dispose of the land. Inherited land was quite often not recorded. .....David Sims Jeter, Elizabeth's unmarried brother, remembered his Gregory nephews in his will and also set aside land for the Jeter Family Cemetery. He went a step farther and provided funds for tombstones for his family members. It is ironic that his is one of the smaller stones in the cemetery. .....Benjamin and Elizabeth were the parents of ten known children - nine sons and one daughter. They were: William Harrison; Aswin Starks; James Thompson; Benjamin Franklin; John J.E.; Andrew Jackson; Argulass; Sarah Elvira; Berry J. Adolphus; and Pickens Butler.

The Wilkes History and Genealogy reports three children of Anna Crump, Hale's wife, but the son is reported as Andrew Thomas Gregory. with birth date of 16 December 1888. This would seem to be the same child, and we would take the Wilkes History form of the name as correct. Another son was born in November 1900, however, not long after the census above named William Marvin Gregory. Rather than Annie Crump, Marvin's death certificate reports his mother's name as Anna West. Note also in the 1900 census reocrd for Annie Gregory above that it says she has had no children. This would appear to be a second wife, accounting for the difference in wife's name in different sources. The Wilkes History, however, reports only one wife for Hale. But the death date they give for Annie Crump, 14 February 1925, is the date on the grave for Annie (Anna) West Gregory. If the enumerator was right in the childless report for Annie in 1900, Annie Crump and Annie West are two different persons. Most genealolgies have the one wife of Hale Gregory as Annie West. This would also explain the change in number of years married from Hale, from 12 initially, to only 2 finally, after the birth of the youngest child in 1900. ------------------------- States Rights Gregory States Rights Gregory, son of Andrew Jackson Gregory and Levicia (Wilkes) Gregory, was born 31 December 1860 and died on 19 March 1932.
