An anonymous genealogy reports the same dates I have for Hoyt (my initial sources were Green Hill Cemetery register and Social Security Death Index), but reports his birth location as in Marlow (Stephens County), Oklahoma, rather than Lindsay, which I got from a cousin of Hoyt, but seems somewhat uncertain. The Marlow location matches more closely the residential pattern at the time of birth. Hoyt's grandfather, Dock Gregory, was registered in the 1910 census in Richland Township, near Marlow, Stephens County, Oklahoma. Hoyt's family were living in the next county west, in the Lincoln Township of Comanche County. 1910 Federal Census, Comanche County, Oklahoma, 20 April, Lincoln Township, District 42, page 4A, Hse #50, Fam #51 Gregory, G T Head M W 26 married 3 years TN TN TN Farmer Rents Gregory, Fannie B Wife F W 27 married 3 yrs 2 children/2 living TN TN TN Gregory, Hoyt Son M W 2 OK TN TN We know both families later moved to Garvin County, with Dock's family in Elmore Township by 1920, and George and Fannie, Hoyt's parents later living in Lindsay.

They moved from there to the Pikes Peak community in 1941. They bought Les Sinclair's farm which was located 1 3/4 miles north of the school, west side of the road on Crazy Creek. The ages of the children at that time were: Wayne Laray "Jack" 12, Obreta Vaun 9 and Roena Marie almost 3 years old.

His age matches Francis Marion. Considering those for whom no second name has been determined, William matches no other child in 1850. The closest would be Hilliard, whose other given name is not known. But it turns out that Hilliard died in 1858 at the age of 12. 1870 Federal Census, Itawamba County, Mississippi, 28 August, Township 8, P O Fulton, page 14, Hse/Fam #91 Gregory, William 28 M W At Home b South Carolina Gregory, Francis 25 F W At Home b South Carolina Gregory, Susan 4 F W At Home b Mississippi Gregory, Benjamin 2 M W b Mississippi So it is unclear who this William Gregory is. With his birth date in line with the sons of Hugh and Nancy Gregory, he matches no child reported in the 1850 census, but his age in 1870 indicates William was born in about 1842. That matches Francis Marion for other censuses. Henry appears in a separate entry in 1870. And Starks has a middle initial of T, reported on his Find a Grave memorial. The name Hilliard does not appear as a person in this family in later censuses. No record has been found under the name of Francis Gregory in the 1860 census. In the 1870 census, another Gregory individual born in South Carolina was reported under a name not appearing with this family in previous censuses. Andrew Gregory was enumerated in the household of Marion Gregory and his wife. This household is on the same page as Marion's father High Gregory. Andrew, reported in Marion's household on this page, is an additional name not found or matched in 1850. Andrew is reported age 24, which would mean he was born in about 1846, so he may be a cousin who moved to Mississippi with them. This age does not match any reported child in the 1850 record. Similarly, an individual named William Gregory is enumerated with his wife Francis on the next page. 1880 Federal Census, Itawamba County, Mississippi, 28 June, District 70, page 49, Hse #406, Fam #407 Gregory, Hugh W M 30 Athma [Asthma] Cannot read or write SC NC NC Gregory, Mary W F 22 Wife Keeping House Cannot read or write SC VA VA Gregory, Henry W M 35 Son Single Farming Cannot read or write MS SC SC Gregory, Mary E W F 28 Dau Single Cannot Read MS SC SC Gregory, Nancy B W M 23 Single MS SC SC Gregory, Hugh Jr W M 21 Son Single Cannot Read or Write MS SC SC Gregory, Alla W F 19 Dau Single Cannot Read or Write MS SC SC Gregory, Antnette [Antoinette] W F 16 Dau Single Cannot Read or Write MS SC SC ----------------- Hugh Gregory Birth May 14, 1815 Death Mar 16, 1886 1870 Township 8, Itawamba, Mississippi Hugh Gregory 55 Nancy Gregory 45 SC Henry Gregory 26 Simpson Gregory 20 Mary Gregory 18 Nancy Gregory 16 George Gregory 14 Hugh Gregory 12 Susan Gregory 12 Alice Gregory 9 Antonette Gregory 7 Hugh Gregory is the son of George Young Gregory, and Mary Ann Gregory (1788 - 1858) (cousins) George is the son of Jeremiah & Lettice Young Gregory #86837708.

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. ---------------------- ---------------------- Early Virginia Gregory Records Orville Boyd Jenkins Focus on Gregorys Three Gregorys reported to be sons of Isaac Gregory are referred to in several county administrative documents in 1744 and later in Frederick County, Virginia, concerning road repair. The residents required to work it include John Gregory, Richard. Gregory and Benjamin Gregory. The son Benjamin Gregory is reported to have been born in Pennsylvania, and later moved to Prince William County, Virginia, across the border from the Maryland area that would become Washington, DC, where Benjamin died in 1798. Prince William County is a few miles to the east or southeast of Frederick County, Virginia, in the Shenandoah Valley of what is now western Virginia. The document states that the starting point of the road to be repaired was Gregory's Ford, attesting to the early presence of Gregorys in this region. The exact location of this place has not been determined. It does not appear on the later map of old Frederick County by John Wood (ca 1775-1822) A whole list of residents required to assist in the repair, including the Gregory brothers, were all named as tenants of the "tithables" owned by Thomas Lord Fairfax. Frederick County Frederick County, Virginia, was formed out of old Orange County in 1743. The original and current county seat of current Frederick County is Winchester. This is at the northern end of the Shenandoah Valley, a major north to south (southwest) migration route, where US Interstate Highway 81 runs today. Winchester is on the east to west migration route from Philadelphia and Frederick, Maryland, to the west. A few miles north of Winchester is through Hagerstown, Maryland, where US Interstate Highway 70 runs today through that east-west corridor. From today's Frederick County, many people commute daily to Fairfax County, Virginia, across the Potomac River form Washington, DC. The county of Frederick, when it was first created in 1743 from the original Orange County, Virginia, included a huge area: "'Old Frederick County' encompassed all or part of four counties in present-day Virginia - Shenandoah, Clarke, Warren, and Frederick - and five in present-day West Virginia - Hardy, Hampshire, Berkeley, Jefferson and Morgan. The Virginia Assembly named the new county for Frederick Louis, Prince of Wales (1707-1751), the eldest son of King George II of Great Britain." -- "Frederick County, Virginia," Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_County,_Virginia The Records Note: the word "tithables" in the following records is used approximately equivalent to taxpayer, or land upon which the resident pays taxes in the county. One landmark repeatedly mentioned in description of roads is Gregory's Ford. No record has been found to definitely locate this old place in Frederick County. The standard format for building or maintaining a road was for all tithables living within 10 miles of the road to work on it. One or two overseers were appointed for each job or road section.

Very little documentation is available for Isaac and his parents' family. Most genealogies have no records at all. Some identify him with the Isaac Gregory born in Virginia who moved to Union County, South Carolina, and who married Alse Gerard. Some dispute this identification. Some genealogies give his birth place as Lunenburg County, Virginia. Nathan Gregory, who have extensively researched the early Gregorys, has only Virginia, but reports him with the death date and location of the Richard Gregory in Union County, South Carolina. The date given by Nathan and some other genealogies is March 1797, the date for the disputed Isaac Gregory, who is noted on a historical marker as a member of the Provincial Congress in 1775 and was active in the American Revolution, as well las serving the in the North Carolina conventions. No family information is given in the plaque. U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900 Isaac Gregory Alse Gerard No marriage date is included in this compiled index record. Several Gregory genealogies identify the Isaac of this record with Isaac, son of Isaac Gregory and Jemima Fullens of Pennsylvania and Virginia. ---------------------- 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. ---------------------- A story is found about his settlement, the locations where he got land grants in Virginia and the Carolinas, and his family. He was the first Gregory settler in the Carolinas, and was called Isaac the Elder, since one of his sons was also named Isaac. It seems likely that this Isaac Gregory is the son of Isaac Gregory and Jemima Fullens of Pennsylvania and Prince William County, Virginia. -------------------------------- Mrs. Josephine Gregory Spears of Raleigh, NC has researched the Virginia Gregorys in depth. The following chronology is available through her efforts. Isaac Gregory bought fifty acres of land from Nicholas and Tabitha Robertson of Lunenburg [Virginia] on 7 May 1762. The land was located on the lower side of Mitchell Creek. The witnesses to this transaction were: Joseph Dobson, John Johnson and Jno. Dobson. Isaac and his wife Alse sold fifty acres of land in Mecklenberg County to John Hatchell. This land was located on Eastlines Creek. The titheables taken by Edmund Taylor in St James Parish, Lunenburg County, Virginia and later reported in Early Settlers of Mecklenberg County, Virginia list Isaac Gregory: one tithe due for 1764 on fifty acres. Isaac his wife and at least two children moved to Mecklenberg, NC, where he was granted two hundred acres by Governor William Tryon on 26 October 1767. The land was located, according to description found within the grant, on the south side of the Broad River on the South Fork of Brown's Creek, above the "wagon" road. Isaac obtained a Royal Grant in South Carolina as well. -------------------------------- An anonymous researcher posted this additional helpful note about the land grants in the Carolinas. "According to the Gregory family history by Dr Ben Gregory (available online at Gregoryfamily.com) the land grants were always in what is present day Union County. Boundary was redrawn, putting that part of Mecklenberg County into South Carolina." -- Comment on a background story about Isaac Gregory on Ancestry The story and the comment also refer further to another grant in Cravens County, North Carolina. The anonymous commenter notes that the information presented by Ben Gregory's family history does not mention Cravens County. Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution, p 386 Gregorys listed in the roster: (The following appear to be afamily, Isaac and his sons) Isaac, militia under Capt Hughes and Col Brandon, horseman and infantry, during 1782 and 1783 Jeremiah, militia under Capt Hughes and Col Brandon, from 1779 to 1781 alternatively Jerrel (Jarrod), militia under Col Brandon, before and after the fall of Charleston Benjamin, militia under Capt Hughes and Col Brandon, from 1782 to 1783 alternatively John, militia under Capt Hughes and Col Brandon, from 1780 to 1782 alternatively Robert, militia under Capt Hughes and Col Brandon, from 1781 to 1782 alternatively (These appear to be from other families) Henry, Third Regiment, 10 February 1779 to 1 February 1780 John, Fifth Regiment, enlisted on 16 April 1776 John, Ediston Island Volunterr Militia, under Capt Joseph Jenkins and Col Joseph Glover Thomas, Second Dragoons under Capt Isaac Ross, Col Myddleton and Gen Sumter and was dead about September 1781 Isaac and other members of his family were enumerated as heads of households in the 1790 census. His sons John and Jeremiah were listed as heads of households, Jeremiah on the same age and John on the prior page. His son Isaac was reported a couple of pages later. Another son Robert is reported on the page before John. A female head of household named Harriett Gregory was reported next door to Isaac Sr. Her identity is not clear.
