Argulass Gregory (3 December 1829-3 July 1846). The only information available about this seventh son of Benjamin J. and Elizabeth Crosby Jeter Gregory is derived from his tombstone. He died from unknown causes.

A transcript from the tombstone is below. He was, of course, unmarried at the time of his death. He was named for his uncle, Argulass V. Jeter.

Berry J. Adolphus Gregory (29 April 1833 -8 November 1901), the ninth child of Benjamin J. and Elizabeth Crosby Jeter Gregory, was one of the most colorful. He apparently lived most of his life in Union County. It is suspected that he went to Mississippi with his brothers for a time because he does not appear in the 1860 census. Adolphus lived with his parents at the 1850 census.

The next record we have of him is his enlistment in Company C, Seventh Cavalry, South Carolina, in December 1861. He substituted for his brother, John, who was imprisoned at Elmira, New York after being wounded at the "Crater." (See Union County Confederate Pension Register.)

Adolphus appears in the 1870 census of Union County with his wife, Martha Gibbs Gregory (13 February 1832-26 April 1906). There were no children. Neither appears on the 1880 census. This could be due to the fact that they were out of the state at that time or the census taker could have just missed them. The 1900 census indicates they had been married 48 years and had one child who was no longer living.

The following excerpt from Names in South Carolina, published by the Department of English, University of South Carolina, in 1968 and edited by Dr. Claude Neuffer (Volume 15, p. 21), gives some insight into his character:

"A true patriarch among Union County trees is the Confederate Holly, still standing near Highway 215 leading from Union to Spartanburg by way of West Springs.

"This tree takes its name from a hazardous experience of Asa Smith; his two sons and Adolphus Gregory during Reconstruction days.

"Asa Smith was a prosperous planter in the West Springs section of Union County. One afternoon while hunting he found this beautiful holly tree and became so attached to it that he gave orders that it should never be cut.

"When the War Between the States began, Asa and two of his sons, Eliphes Franklin and William, served in the Confederate Army. After the war, Asa, his sons and Adolphus Gregory were very active in the affairs of the County. The United States Military stationed in Union County considered their activity defiance of federal law and issued warrants for their arrests.

"The four men, former Confederate soldiers, escaped capture by hiding all night in the branches of this thick-leaved tree, thus giving it its distinctive name: The Confederate Holly."

The above article, if true, leads us to believe that Adolphus and Martha might have had to leave the community for a time. Their exit probably took place after 30 August 1873, when the following was recorded (Union County Deed Book E23, P. 243) The contents, we believe, need no explanation.

"I, B.A. Gregory, agree that I have wrongfully mistreated my wife, Martha A. Gregory. I agree to remove the family of Lancasters, consisting of Eliza Jane Lancaster and family, from the premises before the return of my wife, Martha, and that I will not be guilty of adultry anymore in the presence of my wife or within the vicinity, and treat my wife kindly ..."

Berry J. Adolphus and his wife, Martha, are buried at Putnam Cemetery, Union County, South Carolina.

Pickens Butler Gregory (14 October 1835-29 August 1897), the youngest child of Benjamin J. and Elizabeth Crosby Jeter Gregory, is listed with his parents on the 1850 census at age eleven years.

He does not appear on the 1860 census of Union County, but the Confederate Pension Registration lists him as serving in Jenkins Infantry Brigade, Regiment Five, Company C. He achieved the rank of Sergeant.

Pickens Butler is buried in the Mt. Carmel Cemetery in Winston County, Mississippi. His date of death is shown as 29 August 1897 at age 61 years, 10 months and 15 days (born 14 October 1835), which make the 1850 census in error. His wife was Martha Estes (11 December 1838-31 August 1875) and she is buried beside him at Mt. Carmel. Her parents were Charner and Elizabeth Wilkes Estes.

Jimmy Gregory Thompson of Louisville, MS, has provided an update on Pickins and his descendants.

A land sale dated 3 July 1827 (Union County Deed Book S, P. 483), and precipitated just prior to his removal from that area identified both Isaac and his wife, Harriet. Isaac was apparently still in Union County when he and his brothers sold land to the Porter family in 1831, but he was in Alabama by 1834.

The Alabama census of 1850 shows five children at home: Elcy, 1825 (South Carolina); H. Caroline, 1834 (Alabama); John, 1837 (Alabama); Emma, 1839 (Alabama); and Eugene, 1842 (Alabama).

A Trust deed recorded in Tuscaloosa, Alabama lists Isaac as one of several trustees of an unnamed Methodist Episcopal Church.

His death notice in the Southern Christian Advocate indicates that seven children survived him.

Harriett Caroline Gregory (ca. 1834-17 July 1886) married John H. Spain in June 1852, this was learned from her death notice, which also appeared in the Advocate.

"Mrs. H.C. (Harriet Caroline) Spain, daughter of Rev. Isaac Gregory, died near Columbus, Mississippi, 17 July 1886, aged 31 years, 8 months. Married John H. Spain, June 1852."

A marriage record in Tuscaloosa, Alabama reflects the union of Isaac Gregory and Elizabeth Huffman, 3 April 1858, at the residence of John Huffman. This may or may not to be son of Rev. Isaac J. Gregory.
