Notes:

Physical Description:
...Footnote: "One William Gregg of Toberhead Mtg., and Ann Wilkinson, of Antrim Mtg., County Antrim, were married at Antrim, 11 Mo. 5, 1702…" NOTE: this is obviously a different William as the year of marriage is after "our" William's death

Immigration:
The Caledonia is sometimes mentioned as the ship William came over on...I cannot find this ship in available lists. It is more likely he arrived on the ship Welcome (aka William Penn's fleet), which arrived in DE on 27 Oct 1682, & Chester, PA on the 28th.

William married Mrs. William Gregg about 1667 in Ireland. Mrs. was born about 1644; died before 1682 in Ireland. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Birth:
Year of birth is just a guess based on the birth year of John Henry Gregg. Her name is not known and is NOT Ann Wilkinson (see notes with marriage and for her husband William Gregg).

Died:
This is just a guess. The passenger list to the US for her husband shows William and his children but not a name for his wife. Did she die in Ireland or on the voyage over??

Notes:

Married:
Date is just a guess based on son, John's year of birth. NOTE: The somewhat common belief that William's wife was Ann Wilkinson probably originates from a careless reading of the footnote on pg 319 of "Immigration of Irish Quakers by Albert Myers"...

William married Mary Grace James. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
