BIOGRAPHICAL/HISTORICAL INFORMATION

The Gregory family was prominent in early Virginia history, dating back to the 1620s. "Elsing Green", in King William County, was the home of the Gregory's for more than a century, until 1935. Richard Gregory, a justice in King and Queen County, was the father of Roger and Richard. Roger (ca. 1690-1732) married Mildred Washington, daughter of Lawrence Washington, and deeded the Mount Vernon estate to Augustine Washington, George Washington's father. Richard married a Miss West and they had several children including Roger (b. 1729) married to Mary Cole Claiborne (d. 1771) and Fanny Lowry.

William Gregory (1767-1840), son of Roger (b. 1729) was married to Anne Sutherland. He served in the Virginia House of Delegates, 1798-1807, and 1815-1816. His son, Roger (1795-1850), married Maria Ellett, and they had three sons: Junius C. and Deucalion, who became doctors, and Roger (b. 1833). Roger was married to Elizabeth Frances Allen, daughter of William C. Allen and Alleville Slaughter. He served as a Liuetenant Colonel in the 87th Regiment Virginia Militia, was a judge of the County Court, member of the House of Delegates 1879-1880, represented King William and Hanover Counties at the Constitutional Convention of 1901- 1902, and was professor of law at Richmond College (now University of Richmond).
