  Mary "Molly" Argenbright Gregory
  Birth 1798 Rockingham County, Virginia, USA
  Death 1872 Bath County, Kentucky, USA
  
  Mary Argenbright was an orphan, living with her brother, both parents deceased, barely 16 years old when she married Jesse Gregory in 1814. They came to Bath County in 1818, founded a farm, a church and raised 12 children.
  
  I have spent 15 years compiling a massive research document on the Gregory family and their friends, relatives and descendants. It remains incomplete and still very much a work in process, but a “1st Edition” volume is offered for download on Google Books for anyone interested in these families and the history of the area. Simply go to Google Play and Search for "Gregory Family Origins", or go to this URL: https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Nathan_Gregory_Gregory_Family_Origins?id=bBW8BAAAQBAJ
  
  There is also a DNA project and a Facebook Group tied to the research project. We would love connect with more members of the extended family and expand the project. Contact the author at wa4otjgmail.com for more information.
