Note from Richard Huseth
Austin, Texas

My wife's ancestors, the GREGGs, also migrated from Loudoun County to Ohio. Samuel GREGG, his wife Ann SINCLAIR, and six children moved to Ohio in the 1798-1802 timeframe. The Quaker GREGGs obtained a certificate for removal from the Goose Creek MM on October 30, 1797, and presented it to the Redstone (Pennsylvania) MM in 1798. On February 4, 1802, they obtained a certificate of removal from Redstone and it was accepted at the Concord MM in Harrison county, Ohio, on June 19, 1802. They apparently lived near the border of Harrison and Belmont counties. Five more children were born in Belmont county, Ohio. It is only speculation, but among the reasons for their move may have been the probable need for more land to support the large GREGG families, the harassment they may have endured during and after the Revolutionary War for their Quaker pacifist principles, and their possible disgust for the practice of slavery in Virginia. The Ordinance of 1787 had opened up the Northwest Territory for settlement and the territory of Ohio was established in 1800. In 1812 the family pushed further west to Fredericktown in Knox county, Ohio. In the mid-1830s they continued their westward migration to Alum Creek in Delaware county, Ohio. Samuel (c 1840) and Ann (c 1838) died near Zanesville in Logan county, Ohio. Their children continued the westward migration to Indiana, Michigan, and Iowa.
