Surname: GREGORY, KEITH, VENCILL, ROWLAND, ABEL
Looking for the family of Darius P. GREGORY.
D.P. Gregory
b. c20 Aug 1851 MO
m. aft 1880 Mary KEITH (date/place unknown)
d. 20 Feb 1897, Lamoille Valley, Elko Co. NV
Buried: Lamoille Cemetery
According to obit - "Mr. Gregory was one of the 1872 pioneers of this
State and with the
exception of three years, he remained here to the day of his death. He
and his family formerly
resided near old fort Halleck engaged in the pursuit of farming and
stock raising." D.P.'s wife, Mary KEITH, was born and raised in Mercer
Co. MO, youngest daughter of Arkelson & Caroline (ROWLAND) KEITH. Her
older brother Henry "Hank" KEITH also lived near Fort Halleck and was
married in 1876 to Emma ABEL. Darius & Mary GREGORY had only one child,
Alice Lavada Gregory b.1889, who later married - Ernest Vencill - and
according to family stories the Vencill family lived in Texas. Happy to
share information on the Keith family.
