GREGG FAMILY (from Albert Cook Myers' Immigration of Irish Quakers pp 122/339, etc.) Since so many Gregg families settled within the verge of Fairfax monthly meeting, Loudon Co., Va. it seems needful to give their background, as far as known. According to A. C. Myers, "Wm. & Ann Gregg came to America with the Dixon, Hollingsworth, Sharpley, etc. families, who came from the North of Ireland, probably County Armagh; William Gregg settled on a tract of 400 acres of land in Christiana Hundred, New Castle Co., Delaware, surveyed to him 11-3-1685. He died ye 1st of ye 7th mo and was buried on his own plantation 1687.
Ch:
Richard
Ann (marry about 1690 Henry DIXON)
John born circa 1668 died 1738 marry 11mo1694 to Elizabeth COOKE
(John Gregg of Christiana Hundred, New Castle Co., yeoman, aged about
[p.496] 67 years, made a deposition about 1735 "that he has dwelt in said County about 51 yrs")

The HARLAN Family, p 26, shows that
Thomas GREGG son of John & Elizabeth (COOKE) Gregg of Christiana Hundred, New Castle Co., Del marry 10-2-1729
Dinah HARLAN daughter of Michael & Dinah (DIXON) Harlan
(Dinah DIXON being the daughter of Henry & Ann (GREGG) Dixon mentioned above)
Thomas & Dinah (Harlan) Gregg and George and Sarah (HOGG) Gregg appear to have been the progenitors of most of the Greggs who came to Fairfax monthly meeting, Va. during the 18th Century.
