ISAAC GREGORY was born abt. 1729 in Virginia, and died 03 Apr 1797 in Union, SC. He married ALSE GERARD. She was born Abt. 1733 in Virginia, and died Unknown.
The Patriarch of the Union County, South Carolina Gregories lived in Virginia before moving with his wife, Alse, and children to the Brown's Creek area of Union District (now County), South Carolina.
Isaac probably died in March 1797. His will, written 13 August 1796, was recorded 3 April 1797. South Carolina estates were required to be filed within thirty days of the date of decease.
After receiving his land grants in Union County, Isaac and his family had carved a place for themselves and their children in a newly formed nation, state and county. The Stub Entries to Indents, which are actually receipts for Revolutionary Service, indicate that Isaac and all six of his sons served their new land in the war for freedom from English domination.
Jeremiah, John, Robert, Gerard and Benjamin received payment for service in Colonel Thomas Brandon's regiment. All probably served in Captain Hughes' company though Benjamin's stub entry does not cite the company in which he served. Father Isaac and son Isaac provided rations for the militia.
Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
