Life History

Notes

• 1900 Federal Census, Chickasaw County, Mississippi, 16 June 1900, Rural Okolona, District 16, page 12B, Hse #196, Fam #211
  Gregory, [Hale] R Head W M Dec 1860  39 Married 2 yrs [first rptd 12, then changed to 2] [mar abt 1889] MS SC SC Farmer Owns
  Gregory, Annie Wife W F May 1868  32 Single [sic] Married [sic] 5 yrs 0 children/0 living MS MS SC
  Gregory, Thompson Son W M Dec 1888 11 Single MS MS MS
  Gregory, Annie M Dau W F Apr 1893  7 Single MS MS MS
  Gregory, Ula Bell Dau W F Aug 1896  3 Single MS MS MS
  
  This census record reports the only son here as Thompson.  The Wilkes History and Genealogy reports three children of Anna Crump, Hale's wife, but the son is reported as Andrew Thomas Gregory. with birth date of 16 December 1888.  This would seem to be the same child, and we would take the Wilkes History form of the name as correct.
  
  Another son was born in November 1900, however, not long after the census above named William Marvin Gregory.  Rather than Annie Crump, Marvin's death certificate reports his mother's name as Anna West.  Note also in the 1900 census reocrd for Annie Gregory above that it says she has had no children.  This would appear to be a second wife, accounting for the difference in wife's name in different sources.
  
  The Wilkes History, however, reports only one wife for Hale.  But the death date they give for Annie Crump, 14 February 1925, is the date on the grave for Annie (Anna) West Gregory.  If the enumerator was right in the childless report for Annie in 1900, Annie Crump and Annie West are two different persons.  Most genealolgies have the one wife of Hale Gregory as Annie West.  This would also explain the change in number of years married from Hale, from 12 initially, to only 2 finally, after the birth of the youngest child in 1900.
