Gregory family.

The Gregory family was prominent in early Virginia history, dating back to the 1620s. Roger Gregory (ca.1690-1732) married into the Washington family, and deeded the Mount Vernon estate to Augustine Washington, George's father. The family is associated with King William County. William Gregory (1767-1840) was the son of Roger (b. 1729). He served in the Virginia House of Delegates, 1798-1807 and 1815-1816. His son, Roger (1798-1850), married Maria Ellett, and they had three sons, Junius C. and Deucalion, who became doctors, and Roger VI, who served as a Lieutenant Colonel in the Virginia Militia, was a judge of the County Court, member of the House of Delegates, 1879-1880, represented King William and Hanover counties at the Constitutional Convention of 1901-1902, and was Professor of Law at Richmond College (now University of Richmond). "Elsing Green" was the home of the Gregorys for more than a century, until 1935.
