    He is referred to in some places as Berry Gregory and others as Robert Gregory.  Some of his children's Find a Grave memorials call him Robert Gregory, as in his daughter Sarah Sally Gregory's memorial:  "Daughter of Robert Gregory and Margaret J Word Gregory."

    A credible, documented genealogy by Larry James Robertson reports him as Robert Gregory, son of Benjamin F Gregory of Union County, South Carolina.  He cites a publication on the Gregorys, by one of the Gregorys:   A Gregory Colonial Family, Ben T Gregory, MD, editor, published by New South Press, Pensacola, Florida, 1986.

    Robert and Margaret moved from Union County, South Carolina to DeKalb County, Alabama, in about 1851, before the birth of William T in late 1851.  Interestingly William's grave has only his birth year and reports it as 1856.  Other records match 1851 or close to that.  The memorial for him on Find a Grave also has his name as William Francis, the only instance I have seen of that name.  Every record has his name as William T, except a couple of his children's death certificates which have no middle initial.  Several genealogies report his full name as William Thomas Gregory.
