I am decended through Lott Gregory, from North/South Carolina. The main part of the family settled in Attala Co MS. My greatgrandfather was John C Gregory and he was Married to Electra Phnio Clementine Peeler. I am decended from Issac Peeler of South Carolina, I can trace it back to Michael Anthony Peeler in 1633 on the Robert & Mary in Philadelphia PA He went back to Holland and came back in 1637 with his family Michael Anthony Peeler jr

Thanks For The Respond. I Been Trying To Tie The Gregor / Gregory Clan To Gether. Ive Looked At Several Sites And See MacGregor Coat Of Arms And Badges On Gregory Sites. I Thought This Was Strange. Im Going To Get The Book Surnames Of Scotland Agin. By Dr. G.F Black. Origins Of Surname Macgregor. See Also Giric.
King Kenneth 1 Year 843-858 Was Succeeded By His Brother Donald 1. 858-863. Kenneth,s Eldest Son Constantine 1 863-877. His Younger Brother Aed 877-878. And Then Donald's Son Giric 878-889. Any Way In The Nut Shell, Giric Became King. Giric Was The Gregory The Great Of The Feudal Fables And The Legendary Ancestor Of The MacGregors. Gregory Is A Name That Goes Back To Saint Gregory 1. 3 rd Centary. Attributes Of Gregory The Great And Connected Him With The Royal Line Of Kings,The Clan Gregor At Once Recognised Him As Thir Aponymous Ancestor, And Thir Desent From Him Is Now Implicitly In By All The MacGregors. I Left A Lot Of This Out. I Found This On Genealogy.Com. Per Surnames Of Scotland. Posted By Fiona Sinclair. Maybe This Will Help Me And Others Figure This Out. Let Me Know What You Think Good Are Bad.

There Is About 50 Gregorys That Served In The REV WAR. Applied For Pensions. I Will Look Them Up Are Try And Post Them If Anybody Is Interested.
Someone Asked About Irish Familys Gregory. A Few Were. The Principal Gregory Family In Ireland Came To This Country In The CROMWELLIAN Period. The First Of These To Be Noteworthy Were Robert And George Gregory Who Were Prominent In Defence Of Derry During The Seige Of That City In 1689. After The Seige The latter Settled In Co Kerry Where The Family Remained Untill 1774. The Small Town Of Castlegregory In Kerry Is Not ,However Named After Them But For The Christian Name Of One Gregoey De Hora. This Family Of Gregorys Next Migrated To Co Galway. The Coole Estate Was Acquired In 1768. Coole Of Course, Inseparably Associated With The Name Of Lady Gregory 1852-1932. Nee Augusta Persse, Was Famous As The Country House Frequented By All The Well Known Figures Of The Irish Literary Revival. Her Father In Law SIR Robert Gregory b 1790 Was Under Secretary For Ireland And Her Husban SIR William Gregory Was M.P.For Co Galway And Trustee Of The National Gallery. Before Them Several Other Members Of The Family Were Notable, Particularly Robert Gregory 1727-1810 Who Devoted Much Of His Weath He Acquired While Chairman Of The East India Company To The Improvement Of Agriculture In Co Galway. The Name Was Nor Unknoen In Ireland In Earlier Times. It Appears As Early As 1362 At Swords, Co Dublin And 1346 In The Ormond Deeds.
