Seeking descendants Christopher Y. GREGORY said to have died circa 1848. Married 28 Jul
1829 at Daviess county, Indiana, Elizabeth STONE; b. circa 1811 at South Carolina,
daughter of Elias and Elizabeth STONE.
Prior to 1850, the U.S. census named only the head of house. Occupants of the household
were listed by gender and age groupings. Household members could be other than family;
hired hands, relatives, boarders, etc. Names in parenthesis below are my best guess.
1830 Indiana, Daviess county, page 380; Christopher GREGORY; one male 20-29 (Christopher);
one female 15-20 (wife Elizabeth); one female 60-69 (perhaps mother of Christopher). Next
door is Enoch STONE and family, brother of Elizabeth (STONE) GREGORY.
1840 Indiana, Daviess county, page 13; Christopher GREGORY; one male 0-4 (unknown); one
male 5-9 (unknown); one male 10-14 (unknown); one male 30-39 (Christopher); one female 0-4
(unknown); one female 20-29 (wife Elizabeth).
It is said that both parents died before 1850. This seems to be confirmed, or at least the
family was broken up, since the two minor children Priscilla and GREGORY are listed in the
1850 census with other families. Undoubtedly there were other minor children and I am
seeking their identity. However, the mother may not have died before 1850; in the 1850 and
1860 census below, there appears a Elizabeth GREGORY of the right age.
1850 Indiana, Daviess county, Harrison township, p. 209, dwelling 1719; Elizabeth GREGORY,
40, born South Carolina, appears in the family of Fenwick McCAFFERTY. Then on the next
census page; p. 210, dwelling 1729; Priscilla GREGORY, 8 appears in the family of James P.
JONES.
1850 Indiana, Daviess county, Veale township, dwelling 472; Christopher GREGORY, age 3,
appears in the household of his uncle and aunt, William and Margaret (STONE) HORRELL.
1860, Indiana, Daviess county, Harrison township, p. 589, Elizabeth GREGORY, 50, again in
the family of Fenwick McCAFFERTY.

Indiana, were as follows:
i. Son GREGORY born 1836-1840
ii. Son GREGORY born 1830-1835
iii. Son GREGORY born 1829-1830
iv. Priscilla GREGORY; b. circa 1845; m. John Hawkins 11 Mar 1879 at Daviess county,
Indiana.

1867 at Daviess county, Indiana; d. 9 Jul 1936 at Cumback, Daviess county, Indiana, at age
