General Notes: Husband - David Gregg


He was a native of Argyleshire, Scotland, and among the Scotch Protestants who sought an asylum from religious persecution in the north of Ireland. He was one of the Protestants of the North, within the walls of Londonderry, who defended themselves against the assaults of the army of James II, from April to August, 1690, and was a captain in the army of William III.

He was born at Ayrshire, Scotland, about 1630. He was a captain in Cromwell's Army in 1655, and was within the walls of Londonderry during the great siege of 1688-89, as a faithful supporter of the Prince of Orange, William III, against the exiled King of England, James II. Both he and his son John, who was born near Londonderry in 1665, were killed by a party of Roman Catholics in one of the conflicts that were constantly occurring between the Orangemen and the Romanists in the north of Ireland.
