In the 1900 census, Lester is already 4 years old, but in 1910 he is reported
as only 10, not 15. In the 1920 census, the age reported appears to be 20.
Lester's with Tuler (Thula?) is also 20.
Even in the draft registration, in which both the age and the date of birth
are entered, they do not match. He is 20, but the birth is reported as 19 May
1898. This is a 2-year difference from his birth date reported in the 1900
census. But it is closer to all other the age reports.

Lester's presence in McMinn County is another indication that his line of
Gregorys are probably related to Tapley Gregory of Guilford County, North
Caroilna and later of Smith County, Tennessee. Some children of Tapley moved
to McMinn County and and other areas. Tapley's father was Benjamin Bry
Gregory (1761-1846), the son of Thomas B Gregory (1730-1818). But no specific
link has been found to confirm the relationship of Lester's grandfather James
Henry Gregory (1826-1910) in Alabama and Jefferson County, Tennessee with
Tapley Gregory and his descendants.

Louise first marrie dsomeone named Hubbs. No details have been found. Her
name with Socila Security was changed in March 1946 to Louise Elizabeth Hubbs,
incidating a recent marriage. She married again in December 1956, perhaps
after the death of Mr Hubbs. But her name was not changed with Social
Security until January 1975, to Louise Elizabeth H Rogers. Perhaps this was
at the death of Mr Rogers.

alive and well in 1830. I cannot find a record of his death, I place him in
1833 assuming Cholera.

Some sources claim Lewis Gregory was born in Augusta County, Virginia, though
the records we have of his supposed father Benjamin are in Prince William
County, on the Potomac River, across form Maryland aat the place where
Washington, DC, was later located. If Lewis was not born in Augusta Coiunty,
it is likely he moved that direction after his father;s death. Later records
for a Lewis Gregory match Ben's son in a movement southwestwards along common
migration and settlement routes.
The current county of Augusta is in the Shenandoah Valley. This valley was a
common route of migration to the southwest from older areas of settlement in
Virginia and Pennsylvania. The original area of Augusta County included the
whole of what became Kentucky and most of Virginia that became West Virginia.
"Augusta County was formed in 1738 from Orange County, although, because few
people lived there, the county government was not organized until 1745. It was
named for Augusta of Saxe-Gotha, Princess of Wales and mother of the future
King George III of the United Kingdom. Originally, Augusta County was a vast
territory with an indefinite western boundary. Most of what is now West
Virginia as well as the whole of Kentucky were formed from it, and it also
claimed the territory north and west of those areas, theoretically all the way
to the Pacific Ocean."

Records for a Lewis Gregory in areas now part of Kentucky may be this Lewis
Gregory. Gregorys are found along this route and in Jefferson County,
Tennessee, farther south down the valley, and on in that direction to Cherokee
County, Alabama, and from these locations to points farther west. Gregorys
also became established in Louisville or the surrounding area of Jefferson
County, Kentucky, a part of the old Augusta County, Virginia, on the Ohio
River across from present-day Indiana.
No record of birth has been found for Lewis. Lewis was a witness of his
father's will in Prince William County, Virginia, on the lower Potamac border
with Maryland, in June 1798. A Lewis Gregory was born in Augusta, Virginia,
in 1774, and later records match this individual. Augusta County was just
south of the original large Frederick County, Virginia, where what appears to
be his father Benjamin, and two of Benjamin's brothers, John and Richard, were
mentioned in records in the 1740s to 1770s..
Pendleton County, Kentucky, is on the Ohio River in Jefferson County, one of
the three original coutnies of the new territory of Kentucky, cut out of
Virginia, It is west of current Augusta County, Virginia.

A Lewis Gregory was also reported in the 1820 census in a nearby county along
the Ohio River named Grant County. Grant County, Kentucky, was established
from territory in Pendleton County, Kentucky, in 1820. So this Lewis Gregory
was reported in the first census of Grant County. Current Grant County
borders current Pendleton County on the west. So Lewis Gregory was probably
in the same place in both the 1810 and 1820 censuses.

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.
