	Married Benjamin F GREGORY
	Birth of daughter Mary C GREGORY in Union District, South Carolina

Benjamin married first: Lucyan. She must have died about 1835-36, because their youngest daughter, Jane, is listed in the 1850 census with her grandfather, Isaac, and her twelve year old half-sister, Mary. [In the 1850 census, Mary was reported as 17 years old, not 12, and Jane was 19. Thus Jane was born about 1831, Mary about 1833. So Benjamin married Mary Van Lew about 1832, meaning Lucyann must ahve died in 1832, perhaps in childbirth, or early 1832.] More than likely, Lucyan was a Steen and niece of Lucy Ann (Louisa Ann) Townsend, who died in 1841. Gideon Steen was administrator of Mrs. Townsend’s estate, which indicates she died without issue. Her heirs, with Benjamin shown as guardian in right, were his and Lucyan’s five children: Robert; Elizabeth; William; Jane; and Mary C. Gregory.
