• Notes

  The story of the Gregg-Gregg family as told by David Gregg. Capt David GREGG was born in Argyleshire, Scotland, and was a captain in Oliver Cromwell’s Army in 1655. He was one of the 20,000 Protestants that went from England and Scotland to Northern Ireland. He had large land holdings there and one of his servants was a young Catholic boy. In 1689, in the time of James I, a French army landed in Ireland and this boy guided 40 soldiers to the home of his master. They robbed the home of 300 pounds sterling in gold, murdered Capt David Gregg and his wife. His son James ran to the stables to get a horse and escape but was cut down by the soldiers. James’ wife and sons were away on a visit and so were spared. When the 4 sons grew up, they emigrated to America in 1712 and landed in Boston, Mass. John went to South Carolina, Andrew went to Philadelphia, David went to Wyndham, New Hampshire, and Samuel soon settled in Groton, Massachusetts, and changed the spelling of his name to GRAGG. The Craggs are said to be of the Clan McGregor.
