Hoyt married Esther Laura and they lived in See Chapel, just east of his parents. They moved from there to the Pikes Peak community in 1941. They bought Les Sinclair's farm which was located 1 3/4 miles north of the school, west side of the road on Crazy Creek. The ages of the children at that time were: Wayne Laray "Jack" 12, Obreta Vaun 9 and Roena Marie almost 3 years old.

We have estimated West's birth at about 1725, but that might be too early. One otherwise unidentified record for a West Gregory reports birth in 1730. This is possible, as Roger Gregory is reported to have been born about 1729. Roger ts the first child listed in the below source, compiled in 1927, in Winston of Virginia and Allied Families, which reports no birth date for most of the children, but lists Roger first, ans West third.

There is a one-year discrepancy in the birth date for Wiley Gregory. The gravestone in Green Hill Cemetery gives the year 1898. Loretta Gregory Gay reports the year from family sources as 1897. I have followed Loretta, who has done Gregory family research on the ground from family sources and graves for decades. The Social Security Death Index also reports the birth year as 1897. Loretta declares this is an error in the cutting of the gravestone. His WWI Draft registration also has the year 1898. I would think this date was dictated by Wiley, and he signed the registration form, so this date might be given greater weight than the date from other sources. He was listed as Wiley G in sources, and this appears on his gravestone, but family sources indicate he never had any middle name or initial. Most of his siblings had only one name, though some added a middle initial G. -- Loretta Gregory Gay, personal communication His WWI Draft Registration card appears to have a faded G as a middle initial, appearing to have been erased. Wiley appears in the 1900 census with his family in Chickasaw Nation. Wiley was born in 1897 in McKinney, Collin County, Texas, where the family had moved from Tennessee after 1893. So they made another move not long after Wiley's birth. We do not know the exact date of the move from north Texas across the Red River into southern Chickasaw Nation. 1900 Federal Census, Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory, 4 July, Township 4 South Range 4E, District 145, page 27A, Hse/Fam #402 Doctor Gregory Head W M Sep 1855 44 Married 21 yrs AL Unknown TN Farmer Julia Gregory Wife W F Jan 1855 45 Married 21 yrs TN TN TN Wiley Gregory Son W M Aug 1897 2 TX TN TN In 1910, the enumerator reports Wylie as born in Tennessee, but in fact he was born in Collin County, Texas, after the family moved. 1910 Federal Census, Stephens County, Oklahoma, 25 April, Richland Township, District 243, page 6B, No Hse or Fam #s on this page Gegery, Dolf Head M W 56 married 31 years AL TN TN Farmer Gegery, July (Julie?) wife F W 55 married 31 yrs TN TN TN Gegery, Wyley Son M W 12 TN TN TN World War I Draft Registration Cards, 1917-1918 Wiley Gregory Residence Rt 2, Lindsay, Garvin County, Oklahoma Birth 17 Sep 1898 [no location] Occupation Farmer, employed by Father Nearest relative Julia A Gregory (mother) Rt 2, Lindsay, Garvin County, Oklahoma Medium Height and Build, Blue Eyes, Brown Hair Registered 12 Sept 1918 Pauls Valley, Garvin, Oklahoma Signed Wiley Gregory He appears, still single, with his parents in the 1920 census.

The child William from Carolyn Cooper's genealogy has no dates, but cannot be accounted for in the 1940 census of children of Richard Gregory. We are identifying William with the otherwise unidentified male, born between 1806 and 1810, to assist search and correlation in reconstructing this Gregory lineage. This otherwise unidentified son of Richard Gregory is reported in the following analysis of the 1910 and 1930 censuses by Steve Squier. ----------------------- 1810 Fauquier Co., VA male 26-44 = Richard Gregory female 26-44 = Lucretia Jones female <10 = Sarah Ann Gregory (b. ~1807 VA) male <10 = an unidentified son (b. 1801-1810) female <45 = an elderly relative female <45 = an elderly relative 1830 Jefferson Co., TN male 40-49 = Richard Gregory female 40-49 = Dorcas Fishback [note that Sarah Ann is out of the household, having been married the previous February] male 20-29 = unidentified son (b. 1801-1810) male 15-19 = Few H.

She provides several names of children but no details. One of Phillip Gregory's brothers was named James, according to the Cooper genealogy, who fits an identification with our James Henry Gregory of Cherokee County, Alabama, and Jefferson County, Tennessee. No date of birth was known for any child except Phillip. Two brothers bore names also common in James Henry's Gregory family, William and George. This family was added to the genealogy to facilitate searching and location of other records for these individuals.

The names proposed do, however, provide clues to possibilities, but could not be clearly identified. Other connections for Phillip were pursued by another Gregory researcher, Steve Squier. Steve contacted me with some other Gregory families he had found living in areas of Cherokee County, Alabama, and Jefferson County, Tennessee, where James Henry Gregory and Rachel Lewis had lived. No child matching William appears in the 1840 census. All reported children reported there are accounted for by documented names we know. Carolyn Cooper's son of Richard named William above could be the unidentified son in the 1810 and 1830 censuses for Richard Gregory. If so he would have been born in 1808 or 1809. Richard Gregory married Lucretia Jones in 1806. Their first child, Sarah Ann, was born in about 1807. Our thanks to Steve Squier also for his analysis of the 1840 census listing for the household of Richard Gregory. 1840 Jefferson Co., TN male 50-59 = Richard Gregory female 50-59 = Dorcas Fishback [the unidentified son and Few are now out of the household, Few having been married in 1834] male 20-29 = Phillip Gregory (b. ~1817 VA) female 20-29 = Lucretia Gregory (b. ~1819 TN) female 20-29 = Mary Jane Gregory (b. ~1820 TN) female 15-19 = Susan Gregory (b. ~1821 TN) male 15-19 = James Henry Gregory (b.

Dates on the financial notes range from 1834 to 1837 Researcher Steve Squier states the date of probate as in 1837. Jefferson County Will Books, 1792-1844 Additional information was found in June 2019 on William's probate by Gregory descendant and research Erin M L, who referred me to a Tennessee Supreme Court case concerning William's estate. His father Richard was appointed administrator of his estate, and records of estate sales are found in the probate records, providing helpful names of family members and neighbors. Richard died before the estate was settled, though the date has not been found. The information in the probate records and the court case gave clues to fill out the family configurations, especially with regard to spouses of the daughters. Other records already in hand or new one found could then be correlated and attached. William was apparently married only a short time before he died, and it appears he and his with Mary Jane had only one child, Darthula (found in some record transcriptions as Dorthula). Darthula is a popular name in the Gregory and related families, like Hance and Strange. ------------------------------- 1853 Theodore I. Bradford & William Evans v. A. S. Mason, et al.

----------------------- GREGORY FAMILY of KING WILLIAM COUNTY VIRGINIA Richard Gregory (1758-1844), son of Roger and Mary C. (Claiborne) Gregory and grandson of Richard and Agnes (West) Gregory, wrote into his family Bible the following account of his ancestry:1 "Memo. 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 Ferdinando Leigh, by whom she had a son and daughter, viz.: WiIliam and Mary. William Leigh married a Miss Watkins, of Chesterfield, [page 255] 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. viz.: Mary Cole and others. Mary Cole [Claiborne] married Roger Gregory, by whom she had Richard Gregory and five other sons and a daughter.1 Jane Claiborne then married Stephen Bingham, by whom she had a son named Roscoe Cole Bingham. After the death of Bingham she married a Colonel Francis West. Roger Gregory (my father) was the son of Richard Gregory and a Miss West, the sister of Colonel Francis West, by whom she had three sons -- viz.: Roger, Richard and West Gregory -- and several daughters. Roger Gregory (my father) married Mary Cole Claiborne, by whom she had RIchard and four other sons, as above stated. Richard married the widow of William Broadnax and daughter of Colonel Seth Ward, by whom she [sic] had four children, viz.: Martha Ward, Richard, Maria and Seth. Martha married General John Pegram, of Dinwiddie, by whom she had five sons -- James West Pegram and four others -- and several daughters. After the death of Mary Broadnax, a daughter of Colonel Seth Ward, Richard Gregory married Elizabeth Wilkinson, daughter of Colonel Nathaniel Wilkinson, of Henrico, by whom he had Dr. William W. Gregory and four other sons and six daughters. Dr. William W. Gregory married Elizabeth R. Taylor, daughter of Thomas Taylor, of Richmond, by whom he has three sons at this time (June, 1843), viz.: Thomas, Richard and William. The above is correct from the best information I can obtain and recollect. RICHARD GRECORY. "N.B. I expect my grandmother Gregory was either the daughter or granddaughter of Lord Delaware, who was named West."2 The accounts quoted above states that Richard and Agnes (West) Gregory "had three sons and several daughters." The three sons are named as: (1) Roger Gregory (born May 1, 1729; died October 2, 1803), of whom we have a full account; (2) Richard Gregory, and (3) West Gregory (who, with others, was a sponsor at the baptism of Richard Gregory [son of Roger and Mary Cole ( Claiborne) Gregory], February 2, 1758). -------------------- [footnotes] 1 This account of his family by Richard Gregory (1758-1844} is taken from the Richmond Standard, Volume II., No.4, September 27, 1879. These data were communicated to the Standard with the following note: "Responding to the request in the 'Notes and Queries' Column of The Standard for information relative to the West family, I send a copy of a transcript which I made from the family Bible of my brother-in-law, Dr. William W.

However, this individual reported he was employed by his father, Ezell Gregory in Union County, South Carolina. Another problem was the birthplace, reported as Union County, South Carolina, where Bryant was still living in 1918. But the two older children of A J and Jennie born before Bryant were reported on FAG as born in Texas. Their younger brother would not have been born in South Carolina, where their parents came from originally. A quick search turned up censuses of the family of S Ezell Gregory in Santuc division of Union County. The 1900 census reported a son named Wilkins, age 2, born in September 1998, matchnig the military record. The name should be William Bryan Gregory, born in Texas, married Leta Townsend and Mildred (?), died Ft Worth.

Bryan was born in Ben Hur, Limestone County, Texas, about 25 miles east of Waco. He was the son of Andrew Jackson Greogry of Union County, South Carolina and Jennie Lee James of Virginia. His parents lived in Limestone County, Texas, then moved to Erath County, Texas, while Bryan was still living at home, and died there. Bryan had moved to Fort Worth by 1918, when he registered for the WWI military draft. At that time he reported his nearest relative as his mother Jennie, whose address was Rt 6, Stephenville, Erath County, Texas. Bryan married Leta Gladys Townsend (some records spell the name Townsen), who was born in Lampassas County, Texas. They married about 1925, though their marriage record has not been found. Their daughter Billie Ruth Gregory was born in Fort Worth in September 1926. Bryan and his first wife Leta were cremated and their ashes were buried in the mausoleum of Greenwood Memorial Park and Mausoleum. Bryan's ashes were buried there 12 February 1973 by Robertson Mueller Harper Funeral and Cremation Services of Fort Worth. For some reason the menager of Leta's memorial does not link the memorial to Greenwood, though she mentions in the notes that Leta's ashes were interred there. After Leta's death in July 1960, Bryan married again to someone named Mildred. On his death certificate, the informant is reported as his wife Mildred Gregory.
