Life History

Notes

• ---------------------
  On April 16, 1666, JOHN GREGORY conveyed, by deed, to his "son in law" [stepson],Thomas Edmondson.
  
  FN 1 "Son in law" in this deed probably carries the significance of "step-son."  It is not unlikely that John Gregory had married the mother of Thomas Edmondson.
  
  FN 3 Register of the Land Office, Patent Book 6, page 565.  Among the head­rights to this patent is the name of "Tho: Edmunson."  This was doubtless Thomas Edmondson, called "son in law" in John Gregory's conveyance to him of eight head cattle on April 16, 1666
