After their marriage in 1909, Eva Lee Gregory and her husband Milner Smith Gregory moved to Lexington. They were reported in several city directories there. In the 1931-32 directory only Milner's name appears. It may have been an editing error, since Milner's primary name here is Smith and in parentheses where the wife's name is normally placed, his name appears again as Milner S. Milner's brother Thomas appears in the directories also. In 1939 Thomas' son Thomas is also listed.

I was always close to Uncle Everett. I was the oldest nephew and spent a lot of time with him on the farm and around town on our visits up there from Quanah, Texas. When I was a kid and into my adulthood, he would take me around the farm with him in his work with the cattle. At one time I remember he let me ride his horse. He would tell me about his terrible experiences in the European war, especially about the time when he and his platoon were captured. He had a harrowing experience as a prisoner of war. I always felt comfortable with him. When I was young he used to take me into own and introduce me to all his friends. When I got to return from overseas to visit, he would talk to me about his work and we always talked about cattle and business. I loved him very much. 1940 Federal Census, Garvin County, Oklahoma, 8 April, Lindsay, District 25-12, page: 5B, House 50, Rented Gregory, Andy Head M W 47 born Tenn Rural Garvin Co in 1935 Farming Gregory, Reta [Retta] Wife M W 44 born Okla Rural Garvin Co in 1935 Gregory, Everett W 16 born Okla Rural Garvin Co in 1935 U.S. World War II Army Enlistment Records, 1938-1946 Everett W Gregory Birth 1923, Oklahoma Residence Garvin County, Oklahoma Enlistment 13 Oct 1943 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Private, Enlistment for the duration of the War or other emergency, plus six months, subject to the discretion of the President or otherwise according to law 2 years of high school Single, without dependents Online Memorial -------------------------- B G Boydston Funeral Home, Lindsay, Oklahoma Everett Wayne Gregory was born in Purdy, Garvin County, Oklahoma on August 15, 1923 to Andy and Alpharetta Mae (Green) Gregory and passed from this life on April 13, 2009 in his home in Erin Springs, Oklahoma at the age of 85 years, 7 months and 28 days. Everett had lived in Garvin County most of his life except for the time he served in the U.S. Army. He was drafted in October 1943 and did his basic training at Camp Walters, Texas. He was a machine gunner and had seen about seven months of combat before he was wounded at Bologna, Italy. A grenade left him wounded with shrapnel in his leg. He was then taken a German prisoner of war. After being in captivity for six months, he was released and later discharged in December 1945. After leaving the army he continued to farm and raise cattle with his father. On January the 31st, 1948, he married Vesta Marie Cox who was his wife for over 61 years. They set up their own household and began their family. In February 1952 they moved to his parents farm in the Rocky Point community. They purchased the family farm in the 1950s, where the couple continued to farm and raise cattle. Marie was a stay at home mom, and Everett began working outside the farm. He retired from Rural Electric Cooperative after 29 years. At that time, he was the purchasing agent. Everett gave his heart to the Lord many years ago; but, he later rededicated his life and became a member of the Erin Springs Baptist Church. He loved reading his Bible, attending Sunday school and church, the mens breakfasts and Senior suppers. He was also a member of the American Legion. Everett loved his farm, his cattle, and he adored his family. He thoroughly enjoyed the time spent with his wife, children and grandchildren. Everett is survived by his wife Marie, his children, Reta Hayes and husband Dennis of Glendale, Arizona, Larry Gregory of Lindsay, Terry Gregory of Chickasha, Alfred Gregory and wife Pam of Lindsay, his grandchildren; Kees Campbell and Jason Hayes, Robbie and wife Andrea Williams, Kaylee Ezell, LeeVon McCoy, Logan Gregory, Dock Patrick Gregory, Hale Gregory, Kaleb Trammell and Lauren Gregory, and his great-grandchildren; Molly Hayes, Aiden Williams, Gavyn Williams, Tayslee Williams and Adison Ezell, and also Chrystal Field and son Ethan.

----------------- 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, or 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. I have traveled 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. Also thought to belong to this line of Gregorys is one Few Hall Gregory. Few was born in Culpeper County, Virginia, in 1781 and established himself as a physician and farmer in Monroe County, Tennessee. It is thought by some Gregory family sources that his mother was a Few, perhaps named Susannah, but records are lacking. 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. The Fews in NC apparently followed the westerly route over the Smokies into Tennessee into Jefferson and surrounding counties where they connected again with the Gregory lineage. We find them in the family of Francis Marion Few from North Carolina in 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. ----------------- Few was still in Virginia during the War of 1812. He enlisted in the American forces from Virginia. "Dr. Gregory enlisted in the war of 1812 from Virginia. He studied medicine in Petersburg, Va., Philadelphia, Penn. For 30 years he practised medicine and farmed." -- History Of Sweetwater Valley, by W B Lenoir (Published by Presbyterian Committee Of Publication, Richmond, Va., 1916), p 158, Archived on Archive.org, http://www.archive.org/stream/historyofsweetwa00leno/historyofsweetwa00leno_djvu.txt Few moved to Tennessee before 1835. In 1835, when they were laying out boundaries for Tennessee counties, Gregory property was mentioned in the description of District 1 of Monroe County, Tennessee. "(Boundaries of the First Civil District.) No. 1 District. Beginning at the northwest corner of Monroe County, thence running with the line of Monroe and Roane Counties, to include Thomas Vernon, Esq.; thence a direct course to Dr. [Few Hall] Gregory's mill on Sweetwater Creek; thence to Morganton road, leading by the farm of William Dillard; thence with the road leading from Dillard's to Gregory's Gap till you come within about two hundred yards of the Boiling Spring; thence a direct course to the county line between Monroe and McMinn Counties, passing between the dwelling house of E.

Few had three sons that we know about. George died at age three. James Few and William Richard survived into adulthood. In January 1867 they were indicted along with their older sister Susannah Virginia for a murder. The Hankins family has a story that one of their family was murdered by three of Dr Few's children, and they were indicted by a grand jury, but fled to country, and no trial was ever held. "The foregoing were accused, but never tried nor convicted, of murdering my great, great grandfather, Edward Ezell Hankins, in Tennessee in December, 1866. A Grand Jury brought an indictment against all three for the murder but the three had absconded and could not be found by authorities. The prosecution elected not to pursue the case further, and court costs, curiously, were paid by the physician father of the three, Few Hall Gregory." -- Robert Hankins, Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 6 April 2020 He followed up with some more background. ------------------------- I am hoping that someone in the Gregory family can report stories, or family lore, surrounding my GGGrandfather, Edward Ezelle Hankins, who was a neighbor of the Gregory family. Edward was shot and killed at his home after he returned from the Civil War. The three named children of Few Hall Gregory were indicted for the murder but left the area and were never prosecuted. Edward's widow left afterwards and moved to NW Missouri. It is from this line that my family comes. We have known of the incident but have no information about any relationship between the families, what motivated the shooting, how the families got "cross-ways" with one another, etc. Hoping that someone might be able to provide insight and information. -- Robert Hankins, Ancestry Messaging to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 13 April 2020 ------------------------- Considerable searching found no reference to this event. I found a short cryptic line about it in the Find a Grave memorial for Edward Ezell Hankins, stating "he was in the Civil War and was shot coming home" with no further details I was puzzled by this, since the shooting was in December 1866, and the Civil War was over before the end of 1865 and all prisoners released and units disbanded. (The official end of the war is sometimes given as 9 May 1865, but final hostilities did not end till November 1865, still over a year before the murder of Edward Hankins.) Robert Hankins commented that Edward was killed at his home. Court records indicate the shooting occurred 1 December 1866. The 1860 census for Few Hall Gregory's family includes both sons, James and William Richard. Neither of them can be found in the 1870 or 1880 census. This is consistent with the Hankins family tradition says that the Gregory boys killed Edward Hankins in December 1866. It was said that the Hankins and Gregorys were neighbors but not related. But I looked at the censuses of 1850 and 1860 for several pages before and after Dr Few Hall Gregory and did not find a Hankins family. Persistent searching finally turned up a genealogy on TribalPages that had a statement of the event. It actually cited an inscription on Edward Ezell's burial marker. ------------------------- About Hankins, Edward Ezelle Tombstone reads "Held in fondest remembrance his children" Murdered - Two brothers and their sister were indicted for his murder. Could have been a property dispute. Both the murder suspect (James F Gregory) and Edward were in the 59th Tennessee Mtd. Infantry Division (Confederate) together in Company E. The other in Company G. Both were Privates. Edward was shot as he answered the door one night He fought in the Civil War with two brothers, one of whom was killed in battle. -- Clevenger and Takes, TribalPages, https://takes.tribalpages.com/tribe/browse?userid=takes&view=0&pid=19632#moreinfo_ ------------------------- The story here says he was shot when he opened his door one night. Interestingly, the gravestone story does not mention the trial or the flight from the town by the Gregory perpetrators. No Tennessee record of the two brothers is found after the trial record. The two brothers wound up in Ocala County, Florida, and so did their sister Mary. The Hankins story reports all three suspects fled. However, the Hankins family tradition about Few's sons fleeing the county after their indictment for murder. However, Susannah stayed there, being enumerated still in her parents' home in the 1870 census. She lived out her life right there in Monroe County. The court document of ithe indictment was obtained a long time ago by Riobert Hankins' uncle. ------------------------- Wednesday January 16th, 1867 The State vs. James F. Gregory, William R.

Few married the widow Esther Lichlyter Bragg in 1834, but the record under the Bragg name reports "No Return," which would seem to mean that no minister or JP returned a report of performing the ceremony.
