Angeline Emily Gregory (1836, Union County, S.C.) was the third child of C. Gerard and Polly. She moved to Pickens County, Alabama with her parents ca. 1838. The Gregory's lived beside the Sipsey River which runs between Pickens and Greene counties, and the family used both courthouses for their legal affairs.

Angeline married, first: James D. Franklin on 25 February 1858 in Greene County, Alabama. They lived near her father and mother. James lost his life in the War Between the States. A letter from Angeline's half-brother, Robert Jordan, to his brother, David, states, "As Dick and Franklin's clothes, I have never heard anything." Angeline married, second: William Stacks. Angeline and James Franklin's children: Jasper John (Buck); Mary Jane; and a baby, ca. 1862, who died while James was away at war.

Jasper John (Buck) Franklin (1858) married Margaret Garner on 14 September 1881.

Mary Jane Franklin (1861) married Isaac B. Huffman on 4 March 1886.

Richard V. (Dick) Gregory (1837, Union, S.C. -18 November 1862, Chattanooga, Tenn.), fourth child of C. Gerard and Polly, was less than a year old and still on his mother's lap when she had his brother Clifton John in Franklin, Georgia on the way to Alabama. The V. in Dick's name could stand for Verdo or Verdis, as Clifton John named his son, Verdo Verdis.

Dick helped his father farm as he grew up and, at the age of 23, he was an Overseer in Pickensville. He enlisted, along with his brothers, in the Confederate Army (Company F, 41st Regiment, Alabama Infantry). Dick was faithful in sending money home to his father and mother. He was often mentioned, with great concern for his safety and whereabouts, by his half-brother, David.

Dick died of typhoid fever in Chattanooga on 18 November 1862. The Confederate Register states: "Amount of money left, $31.10. Effects: Sundries." His older half-brother, Robert J., never found his clothes. Since he died of typhoid, it is possible that they were burned.

Clifton John (Jehu) Gregory (8 October 1838, Franklin County, Ga.-4 March, 1925, Pratt City, Ala.), was the fifth child of C. Gerard an Polly. Jehu appeared as "Isham" on the 1850 census with his brothers and sisters. In 1860, he was in Romulus, working for James Huffman.

In Moore's History of Alabama, "Jehu had the honor of being under the command of General Robert E. Lee and, with the famous General, participated in many of the hardest-fought battles of the war. At Petersburg, he was wounded in action so seriously as to necessitate his being in the hospital for some time. He fought until the surrender."

Jehu was a great source of pleasure to his family. His brother, David, mentions him often in his letters home during the war. He wrote, "Jehu has lost his pocketbook already ... Jehu and Dick is the same as me - ... Dick and Jehu is going to send Daddy Forty Dollars. Wee will Role our money all in seperate Bundels with our names on each ones money ... Father they have Jehu under gard. But Clemons (Lieutenant) ses (says) he shant prefer no charge against him. There is no danger of Bullets what he is ... Capt. tuck a squad of his men with that guns and went down and prest two barels of molases and tow (two) sacks of flour. Jehu was in the squad ... Dick and Jehu send that lov to you."

Upon returning home, Jehu married, first: Lucinda Maria Eades, daughter of Jim Eades. They lived in Green County, later moving to Romulus, Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, near his half-brother, Daniel Eligas Gregory, and his wife, Nancy. In his later years, Jehu went to live near his son, Virdo, in Pratt City, Jefferson County, Alabama. Lucinda preceded him in death. He died at age 87 and is buried beside his second wife, Onna -?-, in the Crumhley's Chapel Cemetery.

Jehu and Lucinda's children: Mary Marenda Haselton Roberta; Louella (Louette), about whom nothing is known; and Verdo Verdis.

Mary Marenda Haselton Roberta (Bertie) Gregory (2 November 1867-?) married George Mai Taylor on 8 January 1885. Their known children: Alva Lorina; and Fairy.

Alva Lorina Taylor married Fred Lehman Hambley. One known child: Wendel Angwin Hambley.

Wendel Angwin Hambley married Anna Mary June Payne. One known child: Colene.

Colene Hambley (2 January 1948) married Richard George Farrell (6 August 1933), a contractor in Riverdale, Georgia. They have four children: Scott Michael, 26 July 1970; Kelly Maureen, 5 July 1972; Dana Lynne, 30 December 1975; and Ryan Matthew, 24 February 1982.

Fairy Taylor married -?- Oakley.

Verdo Verdis Gregory (4 August 1870, Greene County, Ala.-5 February 1925), Jehu and Lucinda's son, was written up in Moore's History of Alabama. He was commended for his initiative and strong sense of civic responsibility. Verdo owned a successful department store, handling meat, groceries and general merchandise. He was also director of Pratt City Savings Bank. He married Mattie Coker, the daughter of Bill and Rebecca Coker, on 22 December 1889 in Alabama. Their children: Violet, Geneva, David Cornelius, May, Gordon and Lucille.

Jason Gerard Gregory (1841-25 July 1862) was the sixth child of C. Gerard and Polly. There is some confusion about his birthplace. In the 1850 census, his parents list a Georgia birthplace, but later information places his birth in St. Clair or Pickens County, Alabama.

Along with his brothers, Jason enlisted in the Confederate Army, Company F, 41st Regiment, Alabama Infantry, in April 1862. He did not long survive. He died at Charleston, Tennessee according to the Confederate Register. His commanding officer, Captain Benjamin F. Eddins, said he died 13 July 1862; he was 21 years of age when he enlisted, 5'9", of light complexion, blue-eyed and light haired; and that the Confederate States owed him $62.76.

Jason Gerard's father appeared before the Pickens County Justice of the Peace, W.P. Lavender, on 22 October 1862 to make claim for the pay due Jason. The Confederate States settled this claim on 4 August 1864 from the Comptroller's Office as follows:

Martha Gregory (1842), the seventh child of C. Gerard and Polly, was born in St. Clair. Further information is unavailable.

Simpson Lefarit Gregory (10 May 1844-5 July 1911), the eighth child of C. Gerard and Polly, was born in Pickens County. In the 1860 census, he was helping his father on the family farm. When his brothers were joining the Confederate Army in the early spring of 1862, Simpson was just eighteen. He could not stand to remain at home for long so he enlisted as a Private in Company F, 41st Regiment, Alabama Infantry, on 5 September 1862.

Four months later, he was in the Battle of Stone River and captured at Murfreesboro, Tennessee (2 January 1863). The Confederate Register states the prisoners in this battle were taken to Camp Douglas, Chicago, Illinois. Simpson was fortunate in that he was ill. The Register relates, "Left in camp near Murfreesboro sick." The next Register (dated May and June 1863) says he received no pay. It tells us "...he deserted from Parole Camp at Chattanooga, April 16th." This may have been Simpson's chance to stay alive. He later received pay as a Prisoner of War, but not for the desertion period. It was not unusual for men to desert and go home for a visit.

After the war, Simpson stayed in Georgia to work for a Mr. Phillips. The duration of his stay is not known. He eventually went home, returning to Georgia to ask for the hand of Mr. Phillips' daughter, Synthia Jane Elizabeth (Jennie) Phillips (1 July 1855, Albany, Georgia-10 December 1914). They returned to Alabama, and the family Bible shows that they were married in the home of Simpson's brother, Robert, on 3 December 1873. The Bible further shows that the wedding was solemnized by Reverend Thomas More in the presence of William Howard and R. (Bob) Gregory, Sr. Simpson and Jennie lived in Panola County and Oxford, Mississippi before moving to DeLeon, Comanche County, Texas.

Simpson and Jennie's children: Hattie Rogena; Allie Cora; Mary Ettie; Maude Leona Estelle; Elijah Simpson David; and Eddie Phillips.

Much of the information regarding Simpson's family was taken from a Bible in the possession of Maudie Cogburn. Death dates were recorded by William V. and Nina Gregory during personal visits to Oliver Springs Cemetery near DeLeon, Texas.

Hattie Rogena Gregory (1 January 1876-26 September 1947), the eldest daughter, married William Harvey Huntsucker (26 September 1878). Hattie was a red head, but she greyed prematurely, and was white haired by the time she was fifty. William Harvey went to school to become a physician. In Carbon, TX, he became a physician. He was a doctor in DeLeon until about 1915 or 1916. That is when the licensure of physicians changed. He then went to pharmacy school and became a pharmacist. Around 1918, the family moved to Rotan TX. Hattie's bithdate is listed as 1 January 1876 in the family Bible but her tombstone shows 1 January 1875. Hattie is buried in Oliver Springs Cemetery.

Elijah Simpson David Gregory (15 July 1889 -31 July 1957), fifth son of Simpson and Jennie, was born at Oxford. His wife was named Nellie, maiden name unknown. He is also buried in Oliver Springs Cemetery.

Eddie Phillips Gregory (10 April 1892-2 June 1964), the youngest son of Simpson and Jennie, was born at Oxford. He married Zenobia M. Smith on 22 February 1914.

Amanda Gregory (1846), ninth child of C. Gerard and Polly, was born in Pickens County. No further information is available.

Roberta Marenda Gregory (1849), the tenth child of C. Gerard and Polly, was born in Pickens County. No more is known.

Elizabeth Frances Gregory (1851), the eleventh child was born in Pickens County. No further information is available.

Thomas H. Gregory (1854), twelfth child of C. Gerard and Polly, was also born in Pickens County. No further information is available.

C. Gerard Gregory fathered seventeen documented children by his two wives. Mrs. Nina Gregory, who has researched this family, provided much of the information available after their move west. Unless specified otherwise, the birth-years were calculated from the 1850 and 1860 censuses.

David W. Gregory, youngest son of Gerard and Freelove, seemed to be a wanderer. There is record of his purchasing land in Union County. The only land transaction found involving him is the inheritors' joint sale of their mother's property.

He appears in the 1810 census of Union County, but in 1817, he purchased 132 acres in Pendleton District, S.C. The document (Anderson County Deed Book O, pps. 172-3) described land purchased of Abraham Ellege on 26 November 1817 (execution date). The transaction was recorded 2 December 1817. The land was located in "Pendleton County" on Connoross Creek, a branch of Twenty-Six Mile Creek, at the headwaters of the Seneca River.

He bought another 218 acres, also on Twenty-Six Miles Creek, on 13 October 1821. The grantor, William Hall of Greenville, was actually paid by Barton Hamilton (probably a debt settlement). The transfer was witnessed by Mercy and Margaret Hall, and Charles Bell (Book P, p. 334, Anderson County).

A very old Sullivan Family History lists Mary Hewlet Dunklin, daughter of Sarah Margaret Sullivan (sic) and Joseph Dunklin, as David's wife. It is further stated that the couple removed to Chambers County, Alabama. This is borne out by the 1840 census of Alabama, which shows David and family there.

The 1831 deed executed by David and his brothers indicates that David was in Georgia at the time. A David W. Gregory is listed in Gwinnett County, Georgia in the 1830 census.

The names of his children are unknown; though, in 1840, a John W. and a Charles also appears in Chambers County, Alabama.

Mary Gregory (?-September 1858), daughter of Gerard and Freelove, married her first cousin, George Young Gregory. She was born in South Carolina and died in Lee County, Mississippi.

See George Young Gregory account in Chapter VII.
