  Mr. Richard Gregory, born January 12, 1758, son of Roger Gregory and Mary Cole Claiborne, left a written statement, which was prepared by him, and which reads as follows:
  
  "There were two sisters, named Mary Cole and Jane Cole.  Mary married a Mr. West, a lineal descendant of Lord Delaware, by whom she had two sons, John and Thomas West.  After the death of Mr. West, Mary married Ferdinand Leigh, by whom she had a son and a daughter, named William and Mary.
  
  William Leigh married a Miss Watkins, of Chesterfield, by whom she had Benjamin Watkins Leigh and several daughters.  Jane Cole, the other sister, married Colonel Nathaniel Claiborne, by whom she had two sons, viz., Thomas and William, and five daughters, namely, Mary Cole and others.  Mary Cole Claiborne married Roger Gregory, by whom she had Richard and four other sons, and a daughter named Mary Cole, who married Herbert Claiborne, of Dinwiddie, and died after the birth of her son, Gregory Claiborne.
  
  After the death of Colonel Nathaniel Claiborne, Jane [p 37] Claiborne married Stephen Bingham, by whom she had a son named Roscoe Cole Bingham.  After the death of Bingham she married Colonel Francis West, by whom she had three sons, Roger, Richard, and West Gregory, and several daughters.  Roger Gregory (my father) married Mary Cole Claiborne, by whom he had Richard and four other sons and a daughter, as before stated."
