I have just found this blog, even though I have been researching my ancestry for quite a while. I needed to in order to join the American Clan Gregor Society. It’s one of the oldest Scottish genealogy based organizations in the States, having been established in 1909. Gregg is one of the accepted septs of Clan Gregor. I now live in Delaware an if another gathering of Greggs is planned, I would love to attend. Please let me know. Also, if anyone would like information on the American Clan Gregor Society, also let me know.Peter Greggnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945719747276028760.post-4222963957261792962023-02-12T03:05:30.620-05:002023-02-12T03:05:30.620-05:00We related to rod Roy my man but we are still apar...We related to rod Roy my man but we are still apart of a long line of chiefs starting with Patrick or Malcom the black and ending with john gregg macgregor who struck a deal with king james thinking he who was of scottish blood and would look out for us.

Unfortunately my father was an only child, my brother Tom is childless and I have 2 daughters so our centuries old Gregg branch ends with me!

I hope to someday come and visit these homes. My Grandmother was a Gregg and there are quite a few in middle Missouri near the Clinton area. I was lucky enough to know my Great Grandfather Earl Gregg that had a farm and coal mine on the farm in middle Missouri. We are descended down from William's son George. From what I gathered our side of the Gregg family moved to Missouri around 1842 from Ohio.

However, as the comments illustrate, the fabricated link to the MacGregors still lives. In fact, the 1682 immigrant has no confirmed ancestors.<br /><br />Quoting professional genealogist Richard Huseth: "Unfortunately, the bulk of misinformation seems to come from one predominant source - Hazel May Middletown Kendall's book The Quaker Greggs, written in 1944. Since much of her information in the book is unsourced, it often gives the appearance of merely being pieced together out of thin air."brotherlyloverphilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00786583588700907113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945719747276028760.post-20356596902311861042020-12-03T09:10:02.592-05:002020-12-03T09:10:02.592-05:00Rick, Do you have any pictures from that that time...Rick, Do you have any pictures from that that time period?nanadarlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00526216564368468729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945719747276028760.post-57661447571021458622020-12-03T00:29:59.262-05:002020-12-03T00:29:59.262-05:00I lived in Strand Millas

I as well seem to be apart of the Gregg family and still live in Hockessin not too far from where my great great grandfather John Wilmer Gregg purchased about 122 acres from the Giffen family which originally was part of Letitia Penn's Stenning manor in 1899/1900 on old Wilmington road and later had built a newer home in 1908 closer to the intersection of loveville and old Wilmington . As I was diving into old maps and family documents, John Gregg mentioned here had another son Joseph, who is the middle brother of William and Samuel. Kinda makes me wonder why hes not really apart and what happened. Also are these the same Greggs who owned delcastle park back in the prison farming era from those at greenbank?<br /><br />Great article by the way, read this a few times and compared notes to. Hope to hear from you soon. <br /><br />-Matt GreggAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02876022087436203980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945719747276028760.post-45387784256445215272017-12-07T14:49:03.703-05:002017-12-07T14:49:03.703-05:00William appears to have been my maternal 8th great...William appears to have been my maternal 8th great grandfather, Thanks for the great post!

I was raised in CA and just moved to Delaware in 2010. My genealogist cousin recently let me know we were descended from the Greggs, and it's exciting to know that while I'm a newcomer to the state, there's DE history in my family. John Gregg is my 9th great-grandfather and John Gregg was my 8th great-grandfather. Somewhere along the line, some of his descendants moved west, eventually helping to found the first Quaker meeting house in Pasadena, CA, where my great-grandfather, grandmother, and mother were all born.
