Notes

• --------------------------
  My starting point is my wife's ancestor, Cynthia Gregory, whom I've traced back as far as the 1850 census, where she appears in Cherokee Co., AL, with her husband, William J. Perry, whom she married within the previous year, probably in that same place. So, to determine what family she might belong to, I started looking for other Gregorys in the area. I found Phillip and James Henry, saw that they had their origin in Jefferson Co., TN, and began collecting everything I could find on anyone named Gregory in that county.
  
  In the process of doing that, I found that there were also three female Gregorys who were married in Jefferson Co., TN, and later ended up in Cherokee Co., AL: Lucretia, who married James A. Webb (1850 census); Priscilla, who married a different James Webb (1850 census, with an apparent sister named Martha living with them); and Sarah J., who married William Henry Butler (1860 census).
