Life History

Notes

• 1880 Federal Census, Rowan County, Kentucky, [no date], Pine Grove Precinct 5, District 114, page 23 (scan 452), Hse #173, Fam #187
  Gregory, John B  W M 30 Farmer cannot read or write KY VA VA
  Gregory, Ann E  W F 22 Wife Keeping House KY VA VA
  Gregory, Chas Tilden  W M 1  Son Single KY VA VA
  
  Note the birth places reported for Charles' parents.  That cannot be right, unless John and Anna are not his parents.  It should have been KY KY KY.  It looks like the enumerated just got carried away and put the same thing for him as for his parents.

  Charles Tilden "Charlie" Gregory
  Birth Mar 26, 1876 Rowan County, Kentucky
  Death Jul 4, 1938 Rowan County, Kentucky
  
  Charles Gregory was a son of John B Gregory.  His middle name is of some dispute, and has been variously reported as Tilden, Gilden, George, and Laytenis.  His birth year is also in dispute, as some sources indicate it is actually 1879, and others claim 1878.  He married Sylvania Brown in 1902 and they had four children, plus one that died.
  
  Charles and Sylvania are buried in unmarked graves, very near to the graves of her parents and brothers, which are also unmarked, I believe.  There is also an unmarked grave for the unnamed child that died.  The graves are reportedly marked by plain stones to denote the graves, but no tombstones.  This information comes from Wilford Gregory's widow Mary Jane Ham who told this in a verbal conversation. Unfortunately there is no written record of this and she is now deceased.
  
  I have written a small biography of his father, which includes some details on Charles as well. Contact me for more information.
