Dear List,
I am searching for James GREGG b. c. 1800-1810 in either IN or OH (info from
his children on the census).
He appears on 5 May 1825 as James GREGG of Montgomery Co. IN buying 80 acres
in Fountain Co: E 1/2 SE Section 9 Twp 20N Range 7W.
On 5 Jan 1826, he marries in Montgomery Co, IN to Jane STEWART (I'm wondering
if the courthouse was closer to him there than in Fountain).
In "History of Fountain County" by Hiram Williams Beckwith, pg 33, it says
James GREGG was a constable in Richland Twp (24 July 1826, Richland Twp was
formed).
James had the following children in IN: Harriet b. 1826; Samuel b. 1828;
Sarah b. 1830; and James A. b. 1832. Census info conflicts on Mary b. 1836.
Some censuses say IN, others say MO.
James GREGG appears on the 1830 Fountain Co. Census.
In "History of Fountain County" on pg 228, it says that James GREGG was
elected an elder of his church (Presbyterian) on May 1835.
Between 1837-1840, James and his family moved to MO.
If anyone has info on this James (or possible GREGG relatives--there's a John
GREGG next to James on the 1830 Fountain census), please contact me.
Sincerely,
Cheri Mello
