General Notes: Husband - Henry Gregg, Sr.

---

He took up a tract of land containing three hundred and forty-nine acres called "Burning Mine" tract. It was sold by Henry Gregg to Joshua Gregg, July 31, 1817, and was later the property of Mr. Duvall. In the year 1796, Henry Gregg was elected to the office of justice of the peace. He was married and had several children, all of whom were dead before 1882, most of them dying while very young. [HWC 1882, 783]

The Gregg family were among the earliest settlers of East Pike Run township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Henry Gregg, Sr., came from Ireland to Pennsylvania, took up between 300 and 400 acres of public land, and also purchased a tract from the Indians. He then sent for his brothers, John and William, and sister, Peggy. He was a bachelor, but raised many children to manhood and womanhood; he served as justice of the peace for many years. [CBRWC, 841]

He gave to his sister, Margaret (Gregg) Springer, the farm on which Eli Williams later lived. He also gave a farm (on which Mrs. Ann Hugans later lived) to his brother William, and a farm to his brother John, on the State Road between Pittsburgh and Brownsville, where the "Black Horse" tavern stood, later owned by E. Richard.
