Andrew Jackson and Levicia (Wilkes) Gregory
-------------------------
... settled near Shiloh church but later sold out and moved near Okolona. Two daughters who died young are buried at Shiloh graveyard. He is buried in an unmarked grave near his mother and father in the Gregory family graveyard. Andrew Jackson Gregory, his wife, two sons and some grandchildren are buried in the family graveyard on the old home place. [Find a Grave reports Andrew Jackson Greogry as buried in the Grange Hall Cemetery. It is noted that this is on private land. Perhaps this is the family cemetery this source refers to.] The grave of Levicia is unmarked, that of Andrew Jackson gives his birth date as 29 September 1825 and death as 20 September 1890.

The following children were born to Mr and Mrs Gregory:
1. Benjamin Simpson Gregory     2. A Eusenius Gregory
