Robert Gregory (ca. 1757-1813) was the third son of Isaac and Alse Gregory. Our earliest written record of Robert is a Colonial Land Grant of 100 acres under the hand of Governor William Bull. The acreage, granted 4 March 1773, was situated on Little Brown’s Creek.
The first Gregory land transactions recorded in Union County (Deed Book B, pps. 1 and 2) concern Robert. Both deeds were recorded on the same day. The two are abstracted:
p. 2: Robert Gregory to Jeremiah Gregory – a plantation containing 100 acres, a part of a grant dated 4 March 1773 by Governor William Bull of South Carolina, and situated on Little Brown’s Creek, a branch of the Broad River. The land is bounded on the northwest by vacant land, southwest by James Hawkins, and northeast by James Henry. Witnesses: Thomas Brandon and James Martin. Signed: 27 September 1787. Recorded: 24 December 1787.
p. 1: Colonel Thomas Brandon to Robert Gregory – 150 acres, the plantation whereon he now lives, adjoining Fairforest Creek, Young’s land, and Thomas Hart; part of a tract Colonel Brandon bought from John Fletchall and William Young.
Robert married Mary Ann (Marian) Young, ca. 1779, the daughter of Thomas and Catherine Brandon Young. Mary Ann was born ca 1764 and died avter 1820. This is proven by the will of Catherine Brandon Young of Union County. Robert and Marian were the parents of seven known children: William, Isaac T., Elizabeth, Lettice, Mariann Jr., Sarah and Catherine (Catey).
Robert’s Revolutionary service was in Captain Joseph Hughes’ Company, Colonel Thomas Brandon’s Regiment. He also provided badly needed food supplies to the townspeople as well as the militia.
Robert and Mariann were Baptist. They are mentioned in the Minutes of Padgett’s Creek Baptist Church: “Received at Robert Gregory’s, May 11, 1803 – Kissiah Hart, Lettice Howard, Betsy Polk, members of Tinker’s Creek Church”.
Other early Gregorys were apparently Methodist. The will of Henry Travilla, dated 3 April 1809, reveals a Methodist Meeting House called Gregory’s. Travilla left equal bequests to the Cane Creek Quakers and the Methodists.
Robert Gregory probably died in December 1813. His will, dated 9 September 1813, was entered into probate 31 December of that year. The final settlement of his estate indicates that two children pre-deceased Mariann. The estate settlement reflects the death of Catherine (Catey) Gregory, wife of Henry Anderson. A second statement leads one to believe that another child died, apparently without issue, leaving a balance of “six surviving legatees or their heirs” A full copy of his will and other estate papers follows.

William Gregory 2, (ca. 1782) is probably the eldest son based on his father Robert’s will, dated 9 September 1813. He was born in Union County, South Carolina. The date of his death is unknown. He married Ann ‘Nancy’ McCafferty (Union Co., SC Will Book W, pp. 272.) around 1812. She was born ca. 1792 in Union District, South Carolina (1800 US Census, Union Dist. South Carolina, one of the listing of 4 females under 10.). She was the daughter of Thomas McCafferty and Hannah ???.
Isaac T. Gregory 2 (7 August 1795-7 March 1841), was born in Union, South Carolina, and died in Fayette Co., Tennessee. He married Martha (Patsey) Humphries, ca. 1816-1820 in South Carolina. She was daughter of Charles Humphries and Elizabeth Palmer. This union is proven by a bequest from her father. Isaac is listed in Union District, SC in the 1830 census (p. 192). His family may be listed in 1820 under Patsey (Martha) Gregory in Union (p. 3/128). Mary Ann Gregory appears immediately before Patsey in the listing and may be Isaac’s mother. In 1840 Isaac is in Fayette County TN, the 6th district.
(Note: he is not listed in the 1840 TN Index, but is on the actual schedule).
Martha is listed in Fayette Co, dist. #6 in the 1850 census with Robert, John, Henry and Benjamin. Isaac bought land (40 or 110 acres) in Fayette Co., TN in Jan. 1838 (Book G, p. 505). He sold a slave in Fayette Co, TN in March of 1838. (Book G, pg. 313).
From Minute Book B we know that: Isaac was appointed as a juror of District 6. He reported on a change of road leading from Belmont to Concordia.
5 April 1841 –layed off a year’s support for widow of Isaac T. Robert Tucker and Absolum Humphreys (who may be the older brother of Isaac’s wife Martha) securities.
3 May 1841 –Inventory of estate received.
1 May 1843 –List of sale of estate received.
6 November 1843 –Settlement of I.T. Gregory estate received.
2 April 1844 –Additional settlement of I.T. Gregory estate received.
Isaac died in 1841 and is buried in the center of a small cemetery next to Belmont Church in Belmont, TN (Fayette Co.) His will ( written 24 September 1837, recorded 24 October 1837, Union County Will Book B, p. 238 ) gives “to my daughter Patsey Gregory, one Negro girl, Peggy, and one hundred dollars cash.”.
Isaac’s two identifiable land transactions – one as a grantee and one as a grantor – are with the same person. (Deed Book Q, p. 388)
D.A. Mitchell, Sheriff of Union County, sells to Isaac Gregory, 100 acres, lands of Ulyche (Ulysses) Goodwin. Isaac acquired this land at auction, 23 July 1821. Isaac T. later sold 137 acres to D.A. Mitchell (22 November 1830). The land was located on the west side of Fairforest Creek. The dower was relinquished by Martha.
From Minute Book C pg.388, Monday June 7, 1847:
“… J.P. Braden be appointed guardian to Robert, Amanda, John, Henry, and Benjamin Gregory, minor orphans of Isaac T. Gregory, deceased…”
In 1853 Martha is listed as a member of the Palestine (Concordia) Methodist Church. On November 6, 1865 the Fayette Co. TN court approves the written request of John T. Gregory to administer her estate. She died without a will. (Will book B, pg. 167)
Children of Isaac Gregory and Martha Humphries are: Sarah Jane; Agnes H.; Robert; Cornelia M.; Mary Elizabeth; John T.; Charles Henry; Benjamin F.

Sarah Jane Gregory 3 (Ca. 1820-ca. 1856), was born in Union County, South Carolina and died in Shelby Co. TN. She married Silas M. Bryant on 1 January 1834 in Lawrence County, Tennessee.

After the death of Sarah, Silas married Ruth Hail on 8 September 1857 in Lawrence. In 1860, he is in Shelby county, TN with wife Ruthy and Sarah’s children, Jacob A., Martha A., Alexander C., M.M.P. and E.J. There is also one child, Victoria, from his new wife.
