This Berry A Gregory may be the son of Robert Gregory, born in Union County (old 96th), South Carolina, and died in DeKalb County, Alabama, who seems to be the son of Robert Gregory, son on Isaac Gregory, who moved to Union County from Virginia. But one genealogy presents an index record that says Berry Alexander Gregory's parents were Berry Gregory and Margaret Word. His father's name may have been Robert Berry Gregory. But he appears in records as Robert Gregory.

The old homestead was located on acreage now owned by I D Gregory, a grandson. Before his marriage, he worked as a jailor in Lebanon (the County Seat at the time) to earn money to buy a farm. Alexander was a “circuit-riding†Baptist preacher. He pastored Mt Zion Baptist Church for twenty years. He traveled from church to church in a buggy drawn by a claybank (dun) colored mare that he called, “Old Mag.†He kept a journal of his travels and a record of marriages and funerals he performed, as well as fees he was paid. Most years he didn’t even earn enough to keep his horse shod. Unfortunately, this journal appears to be lost, either burned in a fire that destroyed the home of daughter, Mary Yarbrough, or lost by family members. Alec married Sarah Elizabeth Burk (29 September 1856-9 August 1929) on 10 October 1878. Sarah was the daughter of Wilburn and Martha Ann Carver Burk. Both are buried in Mount Vernon Cemetery. Their children: William L; Sally Josephine Rebecca; Charlsie F; John Fred Walker; Robert Alexander; Mary Jane; Wilburn Wallace; and Stella Estell. -- Gregory Family Genealogy, http://gregoryfamilygenealogy.org/?page_id=387 ------------------------------ One history names a child not found in other lists of children of Berry Alexander Gregory and Sarah Elizabeth Burk.

---------------------------- General Introduction BENJAMIN J. 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. Will of Benjamin J Gregory The State of South Carolina .....I, Benjamin J. Gregory of Union District in the State aforesaid, being of sound and disposing mind, memory and understanding, and taking into consideration the uncertainty of human life, do constitute and ordain this my last Will and Testament. .....It is my will and desire that all of my just debts should be paid and for this purpose I authorize my executors, hereinafter named, to make sale of such cotton or other produce as may be on hand at the time of my death, the proceeds o which, together with my cash on hand, I set apart for the payment of my debts and funeral expenses. .....To William Harrison Gregory, my eldest son, I will and bequeath all that tract of land whereon he now lives containing two hundred and sixty-one acres more or less, being one-half of the DeGraffenreidt tract bounded by A.S. Gregory, James Jeter and others; valued to him at Seven dollars ($7.00) per acre, together with all and singular: the rights, hereditaments thereto belonging or in any use incident or appertaining, in fee simple. I also will and bequeath to the said William Harrison Gregory, one Negro man slave named Buck and one Negro woman slave named Hariet, together with the issue and increase of the said slave Hariet; which said slaves I have valued to him at the sum of thirteen hundred dollars ($1300). I also will and bequeath to the said William Harrison Gregory, one horse, saddle and bridle with various articles of household furniture and other things which are named and valued in my Book of Accounts against my children. .....To my second son, A.

I also will and bequeath to the said A. Starks Gregory, two Negro men slaves named Harper and Gaines; which said slaves I have valued to him at the sum of one thousand, three hundred dollars ($1300).

Thompson Gregory, the four following named Negro slaves, to wit: Charles, a Negro man valued at seven hundred dollars ($700); one Negro woman, Lucy, valued at six hundred, nine dollars ($609); one Negro woman, Hannah, valued at six hundred, fifty dollars ($650); and one Negro girl child valued at three hundred dollars ($300); together with the issue and increase of the aforesaid female slaves. I also will and bequeath to the said J. Thompson Gregory, one horse, saddle and bridle with other articles named and charged in my Book of Accounts against my children. .....To my fourth son, B. Franklin Gregory, I will and bequeath one tract of land containing one hundred, nineteen (119) acres bounded by Harper Farr, Widow Paulk and myself, valued at seven hundred dollars ($700); also, one other tract of land containing one hundred, twenty-three (123) acres, bought of Rochester, adjoining the first named tract, valued at six hundred, fifteen dollars ($615); together with all and singular: the rights, members, hereditaments and appurtenances thereto belonging or in any wise incident or appertaining to the said B.

I also will and bequeath to the said John J.E. Gregory, one horse, saddle and bridle with other things charged on my Book of Accounts against my children. .....To my sixth son, Andrew J. Gregory, I will and bequeath all that parcel or tract of land whereon he now lives which has been already conveyed to him by John Mann, I having paid the money therefor, containing two hundred, thirty-one and a half (2311/2) acres more or less, known as the "John Mann Place," valued at the sum of fourteen hundred, twenty-eight dollars ($1428); together with all and singular: the rights, members and hereditaments and appurtenances to the said premises belonging or in any wise incident or appertaining. I also will and bequeath to the said Andrew J. Gregory, two Negro slaves: one named Isaac, a man, valued at seven hundred dollars ($700); one woman slave, named Dicey, valued at six hundred dollars ($600); one horse, saddle and bridle with various other articles charged on my Book of Accounts against my children. .....To my seventh son, B.J.

In case any of the above named Negroes should die before I put them in possession of the said B.J. Adolphus Gregory, it is not to be his loss, but such loss shall fall upon my estate. I also will and bequeath to my said son, B.J. Adolphus Gregory, one horse, saddle and bridle valued at one hundred dollars ($100) which I have delivered to him. .....To my eighth son, Pickens Butler Gregory, I will and bequeath the six following named slaves, to wit: Gilbert, valued at seven hundred dollars ($700); Prince, valued at five hundred dollars ($500); Jo, valued at four hundred dollars ($400); Manerva, valued at six hundred dollars ($600); Mariah, valued at three hundred dollars ($300); and Charlotte valued at four hundred dollars ($400); together with the future issue and increase of the said female slaves. The said last named slaves, together with their issue and increase, are to be subject to precisely the same conditions and restriction as those slaves herein before bequeathed to B.J.

She married A S Gregory of Union County in that county in 1846. They lived in Union County, where Mr Gregory was a farmer. He died in the early 1860s and was buried in Union County. After the War Between the States was over and the Scaife men had returned home and decided to move to Arkansas, the widow Gregory took her four children and her colored nurse in her carriage and moved to Arkansas. In the 1880 U S census of Phillips County, Arkansas, she is listed as head of household and 54 years of age. Three of her sons were living with her at that time. The children of Mr and Mrs Gregory were: Sarah Gregory James Gregory Brooks H Gregory Margaret Susan Gregory [They actually had 9 children. These 4 were those still at home with her when she moved. Sarah was reported as Sallie in the censuses.] -- Gregory Family from South Carolina in Mississippi, descendants of Andrew Jackson Gregory & Leticia Wilkes, Wilkes Family History and Genealogy, by Ivan Ernest Bass, 1965; reprint Higginson Book Company, 2011, p 370 ------------------- 1880 Federal Census, Phillips County, Arkansas, 1 June, Big Creek Township, District 239, page 1, Hse/Fam #2 Gregory, Margaret T W F 54 Widow Keeping House SC SC SC [b abt 1826] Gregory, Sarah W F 30 Single SC SC SC [b abt 1850] Gregory, Brooks H 26 W M Single Retail Grocer SC SC SC [b abt 1854] Gregory, Margaret S 19 W F Single SC SC SC [b abt 1861] Pendergrass, Alice Lee 3 W M [sic] Single AR SC SC [b abt 1877] (no relationships were reported in this family's record)

Loretta Gregory Gay records this name as Charlie Bluford, based on family memories. 1920 Garvin County, Oklahoma, Federal Census records show his name as Charles B., age 38. Social Security also records his name as Charles. In 1900 Charlie is enumerated in the first Federal Census that included the Indian Nations. Charlie's father Dock Gregory had moved the family from northern Texas to Earl, Oklahoma, but they are enumerated in Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory. Earl itself was in J County of the old Oklahoma Territory, near the border with Indian Territory. Perhaps the Gregory homestead was actually across the border east into Chickasaw Nation, accounting for their enumeration there. 1900 Federal Census, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory, 4 July, Township 4 South Range 4E, District 145, page 27A, Hse/Fam #402 Doctor Gregory Head W M Sep 1855 44 Married 21 yrs AL Unknown TN Farmer Julia Gregory Wife W F Jan 1855 45 Married 21 yrs TN TN TN Charles Gregory Son W M Dec 1881 18 TN TN TN Farm Laborer In 1910 Charlie is 21 and reported in the household of his parents near Marlow, Oklahoma. 1910 Federal Census, Stephens County, Oklahoma, 25 April, Richland Township, District 243, page 6B, No Hse or Fam #s on this page Gegery, Dolf [Dock] Head M W 56 married 31 years AL TN TN Farmer Gegery, July (Julie?) wife F W 55 married 31 yrs TN TN TN Gegery, Charley Son M W 28 TN TN TN Gregory Julia A Wife F W 65 Single TN TN TN No Occupation Gregory Charles B Son M W 38 Single TN AL TN Farmer, Working Out 1920 Federal Census, Garvin County, Oklahoma, 25 January, Elmore Township, District 25, page 11B, Hse #188, Fam #200 Gregory Dock G Head Owns Farm (Mortgaged) M W 67 AL VA TN Farmer Gregory Julia A Wife F W 65 Single TN TN TN No Occupation Gregory Harris W Son M W 39 Single TN AL TN Farmer, Working Out Gregory Charles B Son M W 38 Single TN AL TN Farmer, Working Out Gregory Thomas G Son M W 36 Single TN AL TN Farmer, Working Out Gregory Edy Son M W 33 Single TN AL TN Farmer, Working Out Gregory Wiley Son M W 22 Single TN AL TN Farmer, Working Out Charlie married soon after the 1920 census. His family had moved to Elmore City in Garvin County, and the girl he married was from a family that had lived in Marlow. The Gregory farm was near Marlow, in Stephens County, before they moved to Elmore City, to the northeast in Garvin County. Charlie married Annie (Anna) Cauble after the census in 1920. In 1920 Annie was enumerated with her family in Marlow in March 1920 (though the census date that year was 1 January 1920). 1920 Federal Census, Stephens County, Oklahoma, 25 February, near Marlow, Wall Township, District 265, page 9B, Hse/Fam #161 Cauble, Pete J Head Rents M W 44 TX TX MO Farmer Cauble, Jane Wife F W 35 TX GA TX Cauble, Annie Dau F W 18 Single OK TX TX Cauble, Van Son M W 17 Single OK TX TX Cauble, Rena Dau F W 14 Single OK TX TX Cauble, Allen Son M W 12 Single OK TX TX Cauble, Ethelene Dau F W 8 Single OK TX TX Cauble, Hazel Dau F W 4yrs0mos Single TX TX TX Cauble, Zora Dau F W 1yr9mos Single OK TX TX Cauble, Flora Dau F W 1yr9mos Single OK TX TX Their marriage record has not been found. So we are not sure whether Charlie went back to Marlow to marry Annie or her family had moved in the meantime and they married in Garvin County. They moved to Texas and both Annie's parents died there, her father in 1924 and her mother in 1925. In 1930, Charlie is reported in Elmore City, married and in his own household with Annie Cauble (Cobble), four houses down from his father Dock. An oddity occurs in the listings on this page. Both Dock and Charlie are given the middle initial of G. Dock was also listed as Dock G in 1920. Members of the family do not know where this G comes from. For Charlie, we know his name is Charles Bluford, documented as Bluford or initial B in several sources. Charlie is listed as Chas G. Charles and Annie's oldest child is Vivian, at age 9. It appears that they got married in 1910, after the census of that year. In 1920, Charles B is listed as living in the household of his father in this same locale of Elmore Township. In 1930, the census still designates their page as in Elmore Township, but I notice that Ancestry designates their location as Elmore City, whereas in 1920, Ancestry designates this as Elmore Township. In this census, the place of birth of Charles' father is changed to Tennessee, whereas it has previously been Alabama. This also happened with his brother Tom's entry in the 1920 census. 1930 Federal Census, Garvin County, Oklahoma, 18 April, Elmore Township, District 25-8, page 10B, Hse #187, Fam #196 Gregory Charles B Head M W 46 first married at 36 TN AL TN Farmer Gregory Annie M Wife F W 28 first married at 18 OK TX OK Gregory Vivian M Dau F W 9 OK TN OK Gregory Eva M Dau F W 7yrs 10mos OK TN OK Gregory Virgil C Son F W 2yrs 10mos OK TN OK Charley's parents were enumerated on the same page four houses away. 1930 Federal Census, Garvin County, Oklahoma, 18 April, Elmore Township, District 25-8, page 10B, Hse #183, Fam #192 Gregory, Doc G Head M W 78 AL VA TN Farmer Gregory, Julia A Wife F W 74 TN TN TN Gregory, Harrison W Son M W 49 TN AL TN Labor Gregory, Ed Son M W 39 TN AL TN Labor Gregory, John Son M W 35 TN AL TN Labor Tugman, David M Grandson M W 15 OK OK TN Charley and Annie divorced before the 1940 census.

Charlie had doubts about the parentage of all his children, bacause he found Anna running aorund with various other men. "I have spoken to Annie's cousin and she has told me that Annie was quite the wild one so she wasn't surprised about it. Makes one wonder if the of children were Gregory" -- Pamela McDonald-Kown, Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 22 December 2019 "Uncle Charlie said he didn't know if any of their children were really his. He said he would find her out in the field with different men." -- Loretta Gregory Gay, niece of Charlie Gregory, phone conversation to her nephew Orville Boyd Jenkins, 23 December 2019 "Virgil's parents are Annie and Charles Gregory, only DNA proves that he is not a bio child of Charles, Annie was a Cauble and that is where my DNA connection first came from. Through DNA research by a registered Genetic Genealogist, 2 and 3 cousins were determined in matches to me to a man whose last name was Battles." -- Pamela McDonald-Kown, Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 22 December 2019 On the other side of the coin, Annie's daughter Bobi Jo Roberso-Davis, commented on the idea that her mother was flighty and profligate. "Knowing how backward my Mother was about sex, it's really hard for me to believe that my two 1/2 sisters weren't fathered by Charlie. It absolutely came as a shock to me when Pamela McDonald-Kown contacted me about my 1/2 brother Virgil (always called Greg) not being a Gregory. There was never a nice word said about Charlie by my sister Vivian. She said he was really mean to her, Eva and Virgil and abused my Mother physically." -- Bobi Jo Roberson-Davis, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 26 April 2020 No divorce record has been found. It may be that the revelation of Virgil's true parentage was a factor in the divorce. But one can imagine physical abuse would be a primary cause for divorce. As in many cases, there were probably multiple causes for the divorce. In the 1940 census, Annie is enumerated with her second husband Herman Roberson in Lindsay, as Anna Roberson. Her two children Virgil and Vivian Gregory are in their household. Annie's niece Loiretta Gregory Gay reports that Herman was known as Skinny Roberson, and he was a fireman in the Lindsay Fire Department. She said she never knew his real name, only Skinny. -- Loretta Gregory Gary, phone conversation with Orville Boyd Jenkins, 23 December 2019 The family records and the Social Security Death Index agree that Charlie's birth date was 25 December 1881. This census, however, gives his age as 46. It should be 48, since he would be 49 in December of 1930. In 1920 he was reported as 38, which would match the proper birth date.

His middle name is of some dispute, and has been variously reported as Tilden, Gilden, George, and Laytenis. His birth year is also in dispute, as some sources indicate it is actually 1879, and others claim 1878. He married Sylvania Brown in 1902 and they had four children, plus one that died. Charles and Sylvania are buried in unmarked graves, very near to the graves of her parents and brothers, which are also unmarked, I believe. There is also an unmarked grave for the unnamed child that died. The graves are reportedly marked by plain stones to denote the graves, but no tombstones. This information comes from Wilford Gregory's widow Mary Jane Ham who told this in a verbal conversation. Unfortunately there is no written record of this and she is now deceased. I have written a small biography of his father, which includes some details on Charles as well. Contact me for more information.

---------------------------- Jesse's mother was Mary Jamison. This has been much debated, but I believe that this is accurate. One strong indication is that he gave his first son the middle name of Jameson, Mary's maiden name. We also know that Mary had a slave named Nancy, a dowery from her father David Jameson, and who had served as nanny to her children. Jesse named his second daughter Nancy. We know Mary Jameson was mother to Charlote Ann Gregory because she appears as the bride's mother on February 20, 1815 when Charlote Ann married her husband Lewis Templeman in Bath County Kentucy. Charlote Ann was born, according to several reports, in Prince William County Virginia in 1793, exact date unspecifed. We know Mary Jamison lived in Prince William County with her husband Benjamin Gregory, where he died in September of 1798. It is not a huge reach to name Jesse as very likely born in Prince William County. We believe Jesse and Charlote Ann were brother and sister, partly because Jesse named his frstborn daughter Charlote, and partly because Mary's brother Benjamin Jamison named a daughter Charlote. -- A Brief Biography of Jesse Gregory, by Nathan Gregory, https://app.box.com/s/3ak8zx1zxgr3rj98k5p1, accessed 27 November 2019 ----------------------------
