    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.
