Jeremiah Gregory
Father Issac Gregory
Mother Alse
Birth 1760 VA
It was possibly this same Jeremiah Gregory who was a Loyalist to the British Crown in the American Revolutionary War. In 1783, he was one of the colonists who applied for compensation because his plantation in South Carolina was expropriated by the Revolutionary government. The document, referred to as a memorial, describes the land as being located at the confluence of the Broad and Seludly [Saluda] Rivers, that is, near Columbia, South Carolina.
If this is the same Jeremiah Gregory, at that time Jeremiah would have been about 23 years old. And according to the claim, the plantation was worth Two thousand five hundred and forty three pounds Sterling. This seems a high value for such a yong man to have accrued at that age. Perhaps this was an older relative we do have information on.

But a list of "South Carolina Patriots" and the regiments they served in includes Jeremiah Gregory.
Roster of South Carolina Patriots in the American Revolution, p 386
Gregorys listed in the roster:
(The following appear to be a family, Isaac and his sons)
Isaac, militia under Capt Hughes and Col Brandon, horseman and infantry, during 1782 and 1783
Jeremiah, militia under Capt Hughes and Col Brandon, from 1779 to 1781 alternatively
Jerrel (Jarrod), militia under Col Brandon, before and after the fall of Charleston

John, militia under Capt Hughes and Col Brandon, from 1780 to 1782 alternatively

(These appear to be from other families)
Henry, Third Regiment, 10 February 1779 to 1 February 1780
John, Fifth Regiment, enlisted on 16 April 1776
John, Ediston Island Volunteer Militia, under Capt Joseph Jenkins and Col Joseph Glover

The Loyalist Jeremiah Gregory may have been a different person. Our Jeremiah, son of Isaac, was later living in Union District of South Carolina, where he died in March 1833. Several family names are mentioned in his probate documents.
Jeremiah was reported as a head of household in Union County, South Carolina in the 1790 census, with his father on the same page and brother John on the previous page and brother Isaac Jr two pages later. Jeremiah's brother Robert was listed on the page before John.
