GREGORY FAMILY of KING WILLIAM COUNTY VIRGINIA
Richard Gregory (1758-1844), son of Roger and Mary C. (Claiborne) Gregory and grandson of Richard and Agnes (West) Gregory, wrote into his family Bible the following account of his ancestry:1
"Memo. There were two sisters named Mary Cole and Jane Cole. Mary married a Mr. West, a lineal descendant of Lord Delaware, by whom she had two sons, John and Thomas West. After the death of Mr. West Mary married Ferdinando Leigh, by whom she had a son and daughter, viz.: WiIliam and Mary. William Leigh married a Miss Watkins, of Chesterfield,
[page 255]
by whom she had Benjamin Watkins Leigh and several daughters. Jane Cole, the other sister, married Colonel Nathaniel Claiborne, by whom she had two sons, viz.: Thomas and William, and five daughters. viz.: Mary Cole and others. Mary Cole [Claiborne] married Roger Gregory, by whom she had Richard Gregory and five other sons and a daughter.1 Jane Claiborne then married Stephen Bingham, by whom she had a son named Roscoe Cole Bingham. After the death of Bingham she married a Colonel Francis West.
Roger Gregory (my father) was the son of Richard Gregory and a Miss West, the sister of Colonel Francis West, by whom she had three sons -- viz.: Roger, Richard and West Gregory -- and several daughters.
Roger Gregory (my father) married Mary Cole Claiborne, by whom she had RIchard and four other sons, as above stated. Richard married the widow of William Broadnax and daughter of Colonel Seth Ward, by whom she [sic] had four children, viz.: Martha Ward, Richard, Maria and Seth. Martha married General John Pegram, of Dinwiddie, by whom she had five sons -- James West Pegram and four others -- and several daughters.
After the death of Mary Broadnax, a daughter of Colonel Seth Ward, Richard Gregory married Elizabeth Wilkinson, daughter of Colonel Nathaniel Wilkinson, of Henrico, by whom he had Dr. William W. Gregory and four other sons and six daughters. Dr. William W. Gregory married Elizabeth R. Taylor, daughter of Thomas Taylor, of Richmond, by whom he has three sons at this time (June, 1843), viz.: Thomas, Richard and William. The above is correct from the best information I can obtain and recollect. RICHARD GREGORY.
"N.B. I expect my grandmother Gregory was either the daughter or granddaughter of Lord Delaware, who was named West."2
The accounts quoted above states that Richard and Agnes (West) Gregory "had three sons and several daughters." The three sons are named as: (1) Roger Gregory (born May 1, 1729; died October 2, 1803), of whom we have a full account; (2) Richard Gregory, and (3) West Gregory (who, with others, was a sponsor at the baptism of Richard Gregory [son of Roger and Mary Cole ( Claiborne) Gregory], February 2, 1758).

[footnotes]
1 This account of his family by Richard Gregory (1758-1844} is taken from the Richmond Standard, Volume II., No.4, September 27, 1879. These data were communicated to the Standard with the following note: "Responding to the request in the 'Notes and Queries' Column of The Standard for information relative to the West family, I send a copy of a transcript which I made from the family Bible of my brother-in-law, Dr. William W. Gregory, of Charlotte, North Carolina, when I was at his house in the year 1869. The Bible in which the record is contained is a quarto volume entitled 'The Self-Interpreting Bible (&c.].' By the late Rev. John Brown, Minister of the Gospel at Haddington. New York. 1806: and in it is written: "RICHARD GREGORY'S BOOK. PURCHASED NOVEMBER 20, 1806. PRICE $20."
