That census reports Samuel as a widower, living in Kansas in the household of their daughter Mary and her huaband William Rose.
Her name is shown as Mahala in 1870 Jefferson County, Tennessee, Census.

But on Malinda's marriage license, the clerk wrote her fiance's name as Francis, also writing his first name as Williams, instead of William, but abbreviated on subsequent references as the normal Wm. Their daughter's name was known by the surname France, as found on her FAG memorial, where the name is Ida France Dockery. That memorial reports Ida's parentage. "Ida France Dockery ...

(Claiborne) Gregory and grandson of Richard and Agnes (West) Gregory, wrote into his family Bible the following account of his ancestry:1 "Memo. There were two sisters named Mary Cole and Jane Cole. Mary married a Mr. West, a lineal descendant of Lord Delaware, by whom she had two sons, John and Thomas West. After the death of Mr. West Mary married Ferdinando Leigh, by whom she had a son and daughter, viz.: WiIliam and Mary. William Leigh married a Miss Watkins, of Chesterfield, [page 255] by whom she had Benjamin Watkins Leigh and several daughters. Jane Cole, the other sister, married Colonel Nathaniel Claiborne, by whom she had two sons, viz.: Thomas and William, and five daughters. viz.: Mary Cole and others. Mary Cole [Claiborne] married Roger Gregory, by whom she had Richard Gregory and five other sons and a daughter.1 Jane Claiborne then married Stephen Bingham, by whom she had a son named Roscoe Cole Bingham. After the death of Bingham she married a Colonel Francis West. Roger Gregory (my father) was the son of Richard Gregory and a Miss West, the sister of Colonel Francis West, by whom she had three sons -- viz.: Roger, Richard and West Gregory -- and several daughters. Roger Gregory (my father) married Mary Cole Claiborne, by whom she had RIchard and four other sons, as above stated. Richard married the widow of William Broadnax and daughter of Colonel Seth Ward, by whom she [sic] had four children, viz.: Martha Ward, Richard, Maria and Seth. Martha married General John Pegram, of Dinwiddie, by whom she had five sons -- James West Pegram and four others -- and several daughters. After the death of Mary Broadnax, a daughter of Colonel Seth Ward, Richard Gregory married Elizabeth Wilkinson, daughter of Colonel Nathaniel Wilkinson, of Henrico, by whom he had Dr. William W. Gregory and four other sons and six daughters. Dr. William W. Gregory married Elizabeth R. Taylor, daughter of Thomas Taylor, of Richmond, by whom he has three sons at this time (June, 1843), viz.: Thomas, Richard and William. The above is correct from the best information I can obtain and recollect. RICHARD GREGORY. "N.B. I expect my grandmother Gregory was either the daughter or granddaughter of Lord Delaware, who was named West."2 The accounts quoted above states that Richard and Agnes (West) Gregory "had three sons and several daughters." The three sons are named as: (1) Roger Gregory (born May 1, 1729; died October 2, 1803), of whom we have a full account; (2) Richard Gregory, and (3) West Gregory (who, with others, was a sponsor at the baptism of Richard Gregory [son of Roger and Mary Cole ( Claiborne) Gregory], February 2, 1758). -------------------- [footnotes] 1 This account of his family by Richard Gregory (1758-1844} is taken from the Richmond Standard, Volume II., No.4, September 27, 1879. These data were communicated to the Standard with the following note: "Responding to the request in the 'Notes and Queries' Column of The Standard for information relative to the West family, I send a copy of a transcript which I made from the family Bible of my brother-in-law, Dr. William W. Gregory, of Charlotte, North Carolina, when I was at his house in the year 1869. The Bible in which the record is contained is a quarto volume entitled 'The Self-Interpreting Bible (&c.].'

Her marriage record reports M A Gregory, age 22 (born abt 1868) married J B Duvall in 1890. This age matches the 1870 census report for the name Meriah (meant to be Mariah, or Maria?), age 2. The record of John Basford Duvall, in a book about the colonial families of Virgina, reports his wife as Maria Alice Gregory, uniting the two names we have seen and the initials in the marriage record. It is interesting that her sister Dacre Gregory Farrar's obituary also reports a surviving sister named Mary, one Mary Cole Lyons of St Paul, Minnesota. This is only somewhat odd, because Mary and Maria are two forms of the same name. Perhaps the family at times called her Mary in place of Maria.

In 1850, Martha was living in the household of her sister Priscilla Gregory Webb in Cherokee County, Alabama, where other members of the Gregory family had moved in the last ten years or so. From the birth states of the children in the Webb household, it appears that James and Priscilla moved from Tennessee to Alabama about 1839 or 1840. 1850 Federal Census, Cherokee County, Alabama, 6 February, District 20, p 117, Hse/Fam #813 James Webb 31 M Farmer $1100 Real Estate Tennessee Illiterate [b abt 1819] Priscilla Webb 31 F b Tennessee Illiterate [b abt 1819] Malinda Webb 11 F b Tennessee Illiterate [b abt 1839] George Webb 10 M Farmer b Alabama Illiterate [b abt 1840] Perry Webb 9 M Farmer b Alabama [b abt 1841] Andrew J Webb 7 M Farmer b Alabama [b abt 1843] Elizabeth Webb 5 F b Alabama [b abt 1845] Emaline Webb 4 F b Alabama [b abt 1846] Joseph Webb 1 M Farmer b Alabama [b abt 1849] Mary H Webb 1mo F b Alabama [b abt Jan 1850] ** Martha Gregory 27 F b Tennessee [b abt 1823] [seems to be Priscilla's sister] **

Thsi happens with several members of this family, and the famliy of Dock Gregory, Jackson's brother. The age in 1920 matches the 1910, with a 1920 January census date. 1920 Federal Census, Jefferson County, Tennessee, 7 January, Civil District 8, Enumeration District 78, page 3A, Chesnut Hill Path, Hse/Fam #46 Gregory, Jack Head Owns M W 64 AL TN TN Farmer Gregory, Leath Wife F W 62 SC SC SC Gregory, Jannie [Janie] Dau F W 23 TN AL SC 1930 Federal Census, Jefferson County, Tennessee, 18 April, Civil District 8, Enumeration District 14, page 5A, Hse/Fam #91 Gregory, Andrew J Head Owns M W 78 Married at age 27 cannot read or write AL TN TN Farmer Gregory, Janie Dau F W 26 Single can read and write TN AL TN [b abt 1904] The entry of her name actually looks like Jamie. Thus it would seem that Janie was intended for the name in 1930. The writing is not smooth or consistent. The closest match to this name would be the initial J in Martha J's name in 1900 and 1910. Knowing the naming patterns, I would take that to be Martha Jane. The age in 1930 produces a 14-year range of ages for Martha Jane, from the 1900 reported birth in 1890 to the 1930 age yielding a birth year of 1906. The primary name is clarified in the 1940 census, being clearly written as Janie. This is her middle name. Janie's mother died in March 1930. Her father died in November 1936. In the 1940 census, Janie is enumerated with her older brother Arthur and younger sister Viola. All were still single. 1940 Federal Census, Jefferson County, Tennessee, 9 May, 8th District, Enumeration District 45-15, Page 9B, Hse #147, Owns $1500 Gregory, Arthur M Head M W 45 Single Grade H4 b Tennessee Same place in 1935 Farming [b abt 1895] Gregory, Janie Sister F W 39 Single Grade 7 b Tennessee Same place in 1935 [b abt 1901] Gregory, Ola Sister F W 37 Single Grade 8 b Tennessee Same place in 1935 [b abt 1903] U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007 Martha Jannie Gregory Birth 1 Jun 1897 Dandridge, Tennessee Father Name Andrew J Gregory Mother Name Letha Few Original SSN May 1937 Name listed as Martha Jannie Gregory Tennessee, Death Records, 1908-1958 Martha Jane Gregory Birth 1 Jun 1896 Tennessee Age 49, Single Death 19 Dec 1945 Rural Jefferson County, Tennessee Cause of Death Organic Heart Disease Father H A [Should be A J] Gregory born Tennessee Mother Letha Few born Tennessee Informant Harriet R Gregory (sister), Knoxville, Tennessee Burial 22 December 1945 Bridge's Chapel, Jefferson County, Tennessee by Holder Funeral Home, Newport, Tennessee Certificate #25824 filed 6 January 1946
