The descendants of Kenneth MacAlpine, son of Alpin, ancestor of Scottish kings. The name assumed by some members of Clan MacGregor upon being proscribed. Gregory means watchful. (From: The Origin and Signification of Scottish Surnames, with a Vocabulary of Christian Names by Clifford Stanley Sims, 1862.)

A Richard Gregory landed in the Virginia Colony of Flowerdieu Hundred Plantation from the Temperance. The ship had come to Virginia by way of Canada and brought to the Virginia Colony the first news of the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth, Massachusetts. He was thirty-seven years old in 1620, when he landed. (From: Media Research Bureau, Washington, D.C.)

Several other Gregorys landed prior to 1700, as noted on the Passenger and Immigration Lists Index. An Isaac Gregory landed in Virginia in 1654-1663 from Barbados. Considering that he was the only Gregory with that name of all the early arrivals, he just might be the first “off the boat” This is possible because of the habit of the Clan to pass along the same name from generation to generation.

There was a Richard Gregory in King and Queen County, Virginia before 1727 who had sons Roger, Richard and West, and several daughters.

There was a Roger Gregory in Virginia before 1729 who was the father of Roger, who was the father of Richard, Roger, Nathaniel, Thomas and William.

There was also an Isaac of Pittsylvania County, Virginia before 1750, who was the father of William, Tunstall, John and Isaac. This latter Isaac, most probably, was the father of our Isaac, the Elder. (From: Media Research Bureau, Washington, D.C.)

Two tales among the older Isaac Gregory family descendants that may or may not be fact, but are of interest:

The first concerns a story that has circulated for years that our Gregorys are related to the husband of the aunt and godmother of George Washington. He was Roger Gregory, husband of Mildred Washington. George Washington’s father, Augustine Washington, acquired the tract of land that his sister, Mildred Washington Gregory, owned in 1726 known as the Hunting Creek Plantation. This plantation became known as Mount Vernon in 1743. It is told that our Gregorys came from the general area of Virginia in which the Washingtons lived. Presently there is no positive proof of any connection with Roger Gregory. This story has been circulated within the Gregory kin of Union County, S.C., as told by the late Mattie Gregory Randolph of Union County and Landrum, S.C.

The second story concerns the maiden name of Alse Gregory, wife of the original Isaac Gregory. There is some thought that she was Alse Gerard of the Tidewater section of Virginia. It is stated that the Gerard family intermarried with the Washington family, according to the late Lucy Gilmore of Raleigh, N.C., great-granddaughter of Thomas Brandon Gregory. If our Gregory ancestors lived in the same area of Virginia, it is possible that our Isaac could easily have married a neighbor, one Alse Gerard. As it is known, Alse and Isaac Gregory had a son named Gerard, which would make this logical. Gerard Gregory’s name has been spelled Jarred, Jarret, Garret and Gerard to confuse the issue. Since the records of King and Queen County, Virginia were lost during the War Between the States, it makes it hard to substantiate this theory.
