Benjamin 1, son of Isaac, was married to Margaret Gordon. Little is known of him, but the information available is interesting. There is documented evidence that he fought for the United States in the Revolution. He was paid £10.11.5 plus interest for service in Colonel Brandon’s regiment in 1781. There is also documented evidence that Benjamin’s estate was confiscated by the State for action against the United States. He was captured at Ninety-Six and imprisoned at Charleston, S.C. (American General Gazette, 19 November 1779).
There is further evidence that Benjamin’s citizenship was reinstated in the South Carolina Private Acts of 1784 (List #3 of Persons Who Are Taken Off The Confiscation List: Benjamin Gregory [representatives]).
A survey of 200 acres was made for Benjamin (1 January 1785) and recorded (4 January 1785). The land was located on the waters of Brown’s Creek in Ninety-Six District. The peculiar thing about this plat is that John Gregory, his brother, recorded it for him. This might be an indication that Benjamin was already ill.
In an instrument dated 1787 and recorded 29 July 1789, Isaac, Sr. sells to Margaret, wife of Benjamin “lately deceased, for £50, one-third part of the whole 200 acres received by grant (20 October 1767) under the hand of His Excellency William Tryon, Governor and Commander-in-Chief in and over the said State of North Carolina, being for that purpose appointed, did give and grant unto said Isaac Gregory a plantation or tract of land containing 200 acres situated on the south side of Broad River ..” (Book B, p. 288). The deed said the land should go to William at Margaret’s death. Further, if he should die without issue, the land should go to her daughter, Sarah.
Sarah; William Gordon, ca. 1775-1784; and Thomas William, ca. 1780-1808; were the three known children of Benjamin and Margaret Gregory.
The following petition and military service indent are located in the South Carolina Department of Archives and are evidence that Benjamin Gregory had three additional daughters who were married to the petitioners. Their names are currently unknown to the researchers. (10 March 1999).

Benjamin Gregory served in the Rev. War. under Capt. Joseph E. Hughes, Indent 2353, No. 104, Book X., 8 April 1786.
Benjamin Gregory for 21 days duty as Horseman 1 June to the 1 July 1782 in Capt. Hughes Company , 43 days as a footman from 17th February to 31 March 1782 in ditto and 43 days of ditto from 17th February to the 31 March 1783 in ditto the above in Col. Brandon’s Reg. He received £ 10.11.5 on 8 April 1786 for this duty.
Sarah (Sally) Gregory 2 was the only daughter of Benjamin and Margaret. A Power-of-Attorney from William Wear (Ware, Weir) to Jeremiah Gregory reveals that Sarah was married to William as of 20 September 1799 (the date the instrument was signed). Jeremiah was named agent to “recover land from the estate of Isaac Gregory, deceased, for Sally Ware, heir to Isaac’s estate”
There is a large family of Wares (Weir) in and around the Abbeville area, at least one of which was a William with a wife named Sarah.
William Gordon ‘Gordon’ Gregory 2, the second child of Benjamin and Margaret, was born between 1775-1784 (calculated from 1810 and 1820 census records).
Other information gained from census records: In 1810 Gordon lived in Union County. He and his wife, Susannah, had in their household: one male under 10, one male 10-16, two females under 10 and, of course, Gordon and Susannah, between 26 and 45 years (p. 230, Union County).
In 1820 the household had grown to thirteen in number: one male under 10, one male 10-16, one male 10-18, four females under 10, three females 10-16, and, again, Susannah and Gordon between 26 and 45 years (p. 131, Union County). It is unlikely that all these children were offspring of Gordon and Susannah.
Land transactions recorded in Union County include: Purchase of 75 acres from Thomas Pinckney of Charleston (land in Union County) in 1823. Joseph Gist was Pinckney’s attorney. (Recorded in Deed Book R, p. 367.)
Three land sales:
(A) 39.25 acres to John B. Glenn. This land was part of a tract granted to Gordon’s father, Benjamin. The property was located on the south side of Brown’s Creek and adjoined Robert Glenn, Edward Gregory and William McCafferty.
(Recorded in Deed Book S, p. 257, 8 June 1825.)
(B) 11 acres on Neal’s Creek to James McCreight. Susannah relinquished dower rights on this deed.
(Recorded in Deed Book S, p. 467, 29 November 1826.)
(C) 222 acres to James McCreight. This land was on Brown’s and Neal’s Creek. The deed was recorded 28 January 1829 and Susannah relinquished dower rights.
Gordon and his family then disappeared from South Carolina. After 1829, it is suspected they moved west and probably missed the 1830 census due to the move.
Note: The updated information on William Gregory, and his descendants was obtained from the McCafferty records of Judie McCafferty of Bryson City, NC, Donna Humphrey Donnell of Fort Worth, TX. the late Hiram E. Humphrey, the father of Donna Donnell, and Vicki McCafferty Auxier of Terre Haute, IN, fellow researchers alng with many other descendants of the McCafferty Families of Alabama, South Carolina, Indiana and Texas. Jackie’s husband, Harold McCafferty descends from the William Byrd McCafferty of Alabama, brother of Green McCafferty who married Letticia Gregory, great granddaughter of Jeremiah Gregory. William Byrd and Green were sons of John and Betsy Byrd McCafferty and were first cousins to William McCafferty, husband of Anna Frances Gregory. Donna Donnell, Hiram Humphrey and Vicki Auxier descend from Letticia Gregory and Green McCafferty. William McCafferty was the son of Thomas and Hannah -?- McCafferty. Thomas and Hannah McCafferty’s daughter, Ann ‘Nancy’ McCafferty married William Gregory, son of Robert and Mary Ann Young Gregory. Thomas and John McCafferty were sons of Cormac and Jane Green McCafferty of Botetourt County, Virginia and Union County, SC. Cormac McCafferty died in Union County, SC, in December 1800. More specific information on the descendants of Cormac and Jane ‘Jinny’ McCafferty will be published in the future.
NOTE: The updated information on Thomas William Gregory and his descendants was obtained from the McCafferty record of Judie McCafferty of Bryson City, NC, Donna Humphrey Donnell of Fort Worth, TX, the late Humphrey, the father of Donna Donnell, and Vicki McCafferty Auxier of Terre Haute, IN, fellow researchers along with many other descendants of the McCafferty Families of Alabama, South Carolina,Indiana and Texas.
Thomas William Gregory 2 (ca. 1780-1808) was the third child of Benjamin and Margaret Gordon Gregory. When he died in 1808, his brother, Gordon, administered his estate. He married Nancy -?- (1784, Tyrone County, Ireland -1859, Pickens County, Ala.) and they had a daughter, Frances Anna. Nancy is buried in McCafferty Hill Cemetery, Pickens County, AL.
A deed (Recorded Union County Deed Book W, p. 272, 9 May 1834.) verifies the name of his wife and daughter. The deed was for the sale of 219.75 acres on both sides of Little Brown’s Creek, SW side of the Broad River. The land was bounded on the north by William A. Sims and Robert Glenn; on the west by Thomas Moore and James McCreight; on the south by McCreight and Moses Matthews; and on the east by W.A. Sims. The tract was sold to William A. Sims.
The deed provides the information that Anna, wife of William McCafferty, was William’s daughter, and Nancy was his widow. The deed also states that this land was made up (in part) of land originally granted to Isaac Gregory (William’s grandfather) on 20 October 1767. The deed leads one to believe that Anna was William’s only child because no other children were involved in the transaction.
After William Gregory’s death, his widow Nancy married James McCreight, a neighbor. This is documented by her having a son named Samuel McCreight living next to her in 1850 in Pickens Co., AL. His age is listed as 28 and since William died in 1808, it is clear that Nancy married after William’s death. Many records have it backwards.
Note: Additional information on the Thomas William Gregory family was submitted by Mel Meek, MD, of Lawton, OK, as furnished by Mrs Mary A. Elmore, great granddaughter of John Cornelius McCafferty of Gordo, AL, son of William and Annie McCafferty.
Anna Frances ‘Annie’ Gregory 3 (6 February 1809-24 January 1885), the daughter of William and Nancy Gregory, was born in Union District, SC. She married William ‘Billie’ McCafferty (17 January 1803-30 October 1880), ca. 1822 in Union Co., South Carolina. He was the son of John and Elizabeth Byrd McCafferty, in Union District, South Carolina. Both Annie and Billie died in Carrollton, Pickens County, Ala. They are buried on McCafferty Hill, South of Carrollton, Alabama.
The 1850 Census in Carrollton, Pickens Co., Alabama, shows the family as noted except that Mrs. Anna Frances McCafferty’s mother, Nancy McCreight, is living with them. It shows Nancy McCreight at age 59, born 1791 in Ireland, and in the next dwelling, Samuel McCreight at age 28, born in SC.
Some people assumed that William married two times, once to Anna Gregory and then to Frances McCreight. In actuality he married Anna Frances Gregory, daughter of Nancy Gregory McCreight. Anna’s father died when she was only months old.
On 30 November 1866, William wrote to his cousin Thomas Jefferson McCafferty of Daviess Co., Indiana, from Pickens Co., Alabama, the following:
To: Mr. Thos. J. McCafferty:
Dear Sir:
I take the privileged opportunity this morning to communicate to you that we are all well hoping of a speedy reception of this letter that you would not remain at Macon very long and therefore I thought it best not to try to get to Macon and another thing was your kind letter was very old by the time it reached me. I would of gave anything in the world if you had of visited me and I shall always think hard of you for it. For there is no man any (____) to receive his friends than I am you. I will proceed to give you a little History of some of my relations. My fathers name was Thomas McCafferty. He lived in Union Dist. SC. He had but one brother and his name was Jack. Uncle Jack had four sons. The eldest was Thomas and the second Jack and the other two were Bird and Green. Uncle Jack also had 2 daughters, Eldest was Polley and married a Manley the name of (____) the other was Patsy she married a man the name of McCorgle, a Baptist Preacher. My name is William and I have 3 sons and 4 daughters. My sons name is Robert, Volley, and John. When get a letter from you I will give you a full history of all the communication as for as I know. I want you to write me soon and give me a history as far as you know. I well know we are related. Please write soon and give me all the news of your country for I am very anxious to hear from you one more time. I would of written soon but the letters would not go. But now we have a Postmaster and can send letters.
Please address this from Wm. McCafferty
Carrolton
Pickens Co., Ala.
As he had another son, William, who died before this letter was written the above checks out. But with all of the census reports and other material Jack’s 4 boys check out, but the two daughters are questionable. We are still looking into it. As some of the information he gives is not correct we can only assume that he didn’t know that his father had other brothers and sisters, since they did not live in Union, SC. Wm. had left SC in 1835 and this was written in 1866, 31 years later and I know that some things couldn’t be remembered.
The following are documents that were located in Union Co., SC, before William moved to Alabama:
