  Mahala's parents are living about three houses away and were enumerated on the same page.  A few houses farther down, on the next page, are two Rice households.  Anfield Gregory married a Rice when she was widowed.
  
  Mahala died about 1853.  Nathaniel remarried in 1856, to Sarah Tribby, a 22-year-old single woman.  Interestingly, their marriage record reports Nat's birth place as Tennessee.  Members of this family did live in Tennessee.  But other records and family information indicate that Nat was born in Kentucky.

  Nathaniel Gregory
  Birth 1823 Casey County, Kentucky, USA
  Death 1873 Fleming County, Kentucky, USA
  
  My Great Grandfather Nathaniel Gregory was born, I believe, in Casey County Ky in 1823, and lived in Bath and then Fleming, dying there in 1873 at the age of 50.  Some say he was poisoned, but the big Cholera epidemic of 1873 was more likely the cause.  I am 99% certain he was buried in Locust Grove Cemetery, in an unmarked grave, very near to where Thomas Leonard Porter's stone is located, despite a lack of satisfactory documentary support. - Nathan Gregory, 2014  I have spent 15 years compiling a massive research document on the Gregory family and their friends, relatives and descendants.
