Trying to locate family members My grandfather was Sam Howard Gregory, married Nola Belle Patterson.  Both were from Smith County Tennessee.  Sam's mother and father were Ginny (Jenni) Shoulders and Joshua Peterstone Gregory.  He had several brothers - I never met them, but can only remember the name of one - Tom.  If anyone has any information I am trying to trace my family tree.  My father's name was Lymon Hugh Gregory, who married Lorene Parker from Sumner County Tennessee.  Sam and Nola settled in Sumner County Tennessee.

Unofficial Responses In the "Macon County Times" published 1946-1958, there are numerous including "Cal's Column", about the Gregory family stemming from Thomas Gregory of North Carolina who settled in Smith County TN after the American Revolution.    Per Quote from his biography submitted by Thomas D. Dickerson @ http://www.rootsweb.com/~tnsmith/calgregory/calgregorybio.htm "His popular "Cal’s Column" section of the Macon County Times was devoted to genealogy and research on the history of the Upper Cumberland area of northern Middle Tennessee. He was widely recognized as a genealogical expert and researched hundreds of families and published the results in his column.....His work has been listed as a reference source for genealogical research and is well known by genealogists throughout the United States." I found a LOT of my Gregory family information from these articles.  All of the Gregorys in that area of TN are all related one way or another.  My 5th G-Grandfather was Thomas Gregory's youngest son, Abraham who married Sarah "Sally" Hawkins, daughter of Benjamin & Phobe Jones Hawkins.
