household of Richard Gregory.

male 50-59 = Richard Gregory
female 50-59 = Dorcas Fishback
[the unidentified son and Few are now out of the household, Few having been
married in 1834]
male 20-29 = Phillip Gregory (b. ~1817 VA)
female 20-29 = Lucretia Gregory (b. ~1819 TN)
female 20-29 = Mary Jane Gregory (b. ~1820 TN)
female 15-19 = Susan Gregory (b. ~1821 TN)
male 15-19 = James Henry Gregory (b. Apr 1826 TN)
female 5-9 = Cynthia Gregory (b. ~1831/32 TN)

The Gregorys all appear to have come from Virginia. In 1850 there were what
appear to be members of the same lineage in Virginia, Tennessee, North
Carolina and Alabama.
I have found only one genealogy that proposes parents for Susannah. They have
several children, including Mary Jane Gregory. This name would match the Mary
J Gregory enumerated in the 1850 census (see below) in the household of
Susannah (Susan) and her husband Isaac Rinehart (also spelled various ways:
Rinehart, Rheinhardt, Reinhart, Rianhart, Rheinhart, Rhinehart). But the
birth date they propose for Mary Jane is 1828. No documentation is given for
dates or places on this genealogy.
This date of 1928 is 8 years late to account for the age of 30 reported in the
1850 census, which means birth in 1819 or 1820. Additionally, their father in
this genealogy, John Seay Gregory is from Illinois. This could still be part
of the same Gregorys. John's father is also named John Seay Gregory, but no
mother is reported and the birth place of the elder John is not reported.

However, see the 1853 Tennessee Court Case information below. This estate
settlement case mentions Susan and her husband Isaac Rinehart, and other
Gregorys that are in the family of Richard Gregory, whose family are from
Virginia, but came to settle in Jefferson County, Tennessee. This seems to
confirm that this is the Susan Gregory who was Richard's daughter, not the
daughter of John Seay Gregory of Sumner County, Tennessee.

Some sources have Susannah Gregory, rather than Susan. She is the Susan who
married Isaac Rinehart, who was appointed administrator of the estate of
William Gregory in Jefferson County, Tennessee. William died in 1837, so the
estate had been open and unsettled for a long time. The estate was defendant
in a lawsuit in 1853, after a prior admininstrator, Richard Gregory, also
died. Richard was William Gregory's father.

Susan died after the birth of her son Nathaniel. He was born about 1866.
Some genealogies report she died in1867. No death or burial record has been
found. In the 1870 census, Isaac was enumerated with several children still
in the household, as well as Susan's sister Mary Jane (reported that year as
Jane Gregory), who had been with them in 1850.

The following family construction is uncertain. It comes from Carolyn Cooper,
who has some good clues and helps clarify the family, but also has errors and
anomalies that don't fit. No documentation has been found for the Susannah
Few reported to be the wife of this George Washington Gregory, or their
marriage.
The name George Washington Gregory is found in Virginia in seveal generations,
because of the marriage of Mildred Warner Washingto to Roger Gregory. Mildred
was the aunt of George Washington who became president. The Mount Vernon
estate was originally the property of Roger Gregoryy and he and Mildred gave
it to the Washington family, and it was inherited by George Washington.

Susannah was involved with her two brothers in a serious incident in December
1866 when they went to a man's home and shot him in cold blood. No one seems
to know what the event was all about.
Robert Hankins contacted me about this event, sharing the basic oral tradition
of his family.
"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
As we began an ongoing exchange and cycle of research, commented further.
-------------------------
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
-------------------------
A short cryptic line about it in the Find a Grave memorial for Edward Ezell
Hankins, stated "he was in the Civil War and was shot coming home" with no
further details This could not be, since the shooting was over a year afte
the end of the Civil War. And the Hankins version of the story said Edward ws
kileld at his home. Court records indicate the shooting occurred 1 December
1866 they were indicted six wes later.
The 1860 census for Few Hall Gregory's family includes both sons, James and
William Richard, but neither of them can be found in the 1870 or 1880 census,
in any location. 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.

-------------------------
Interestingly, the gravestone story does not mention the trial or the flight
from the town by the Gregory perpetrators. But no Tennessee record of the two
brothers is found after the trial record. The Hankins story reports all three
suspects fled. The two brothers wound up in Ocala County, Florida, and so did
their sister Mary.
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, till
the last few years when she wa sin Nashville..
All we have from the January Grand Jury proceedings is the record of the
indictment, provided by Robert, received from his uncle who got a paper copy
in the court house in the old days.

Witnesses: Julia Hankins, Sophia Hankins, Mat Hankins, Milly Hankins, sworn in
open court and sent before the Grand Jury Jan. 16th 1867.
-------------------------
One puzzling aspect of the court record is that Susan is named Susan Helton in
this document. But in the 1870 census, she was still in her parents'
household. These early censuses do not report marital status, but there is no
husband in the Few home and Susan is reported under the surname of Few.
I have not found the marriage record.
So I wonder
(1) why was she named Susan Helton in these documents? or on the other hand
(2) where was her husband?, and
(3) why was she reported under her maiden name, and in her parents' home?
No one seems to know the reason for the shooting, though the gravestone story
suggested it might been over a land dispute. We probably can never find out.

"GREGORY did not originate in Scotland - Please be aware that this line of
GREGORY did NOT originate in Scotland despite what others have published
including 'Cal's Column' including having no direct connection to the
Macgregor's. I am a direct male descendant (Y-dna) of Thomas Gregory and my
DNA has been analysed and the results scientifically prove that this branch
comes from England and before that probably Frisia or Saxony. If you would

Then the last will and testament of Thomas Gregory Decd was produced in open
court and the due execution proven thereof by the oaths of Alexr. Graham & W
Wilson subscribing witnesses thereto and on notion ordered to be recorded and
Hardian [Harden] Gregory and William Gregory executors therein named come into
court Qualified and entered into bond & Security conditioned as the law
directs. Letters of Testamentary is therefore granted them accordingly.
-------------------------
The following record might link the families of Thomas Bry Gregory and Thomas
J Gregory of Kentucky. What appers to be one of Thomas Bry's grandsons,
Harden, named one of his sons Thomas Jones Gregory. No direct documentation
has been found for the middle name of Thomas J Sr and Jr Gregory. The names
Jones oculd be a clue to their relationship to Bry's family.
Hardin J Gregory, named here as the father of Thomas Jones Gregory, seems to
be the son of Hardin/Harden Gregory, son of Thomas Bry Gregory. Hardin's
middle name is also likely Jones, going by his middle in itial in this record.
No direct record of Thomas Bry's son Harden's middle name has been found.
