General Notes: Husband - Andrew Gregg
He came to America from Londonderry, Ireland, and settled on Christiana creek, near Newark, Delaware, in 1732, where his first wife died. He removed to a farm near Carlisle, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, in 1750, where he later died. The farm was about two miles northwesterly of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, adjoining the meeting house farm, in Middleton township.
Andrew and his brother, David Gregg, with their wives, their sister Rachel, and her husband, Solomon Walker, came to America in the same vessel, about the year 1722 [Another source: 1726]. Landing at Boston, they made their way to the Scotch-Irish settlement in Londonderry, New Hampshire, where David settled and spent the remainder of his days. Andrew Gregg and his brother-in-law, Solomon Walker, not being pleased with New Hampshire, returned to Boston and sailed for New Castle, Delaware, where they arrived in the autumn of 1725. They spent the winter at a furnace belonging to Sir William Keith, Lieutenant Governor of Pennsylvania, on Christiana creek, near Newark, Delaware, and in the spring of 1726 sought homes on the Susquehanna. The Walkers located in the Cumberland valley.
The youngest of the sons of John Gregg, of Bally-Arnatt, County Londonderry, Ireland, he was born there in the first decade of the eighteenth century. He is said to have married (first) in Ireland, but this is improbable if the date of their arrival in America is correctly stated, since he could not then have been of marriageable age. He settled in Drumore township, Chester County, Pennsylvania, at Chestnut Level, participating in the organization of Chestnut Level Presbyterian Church, about 1730, and residing there until 1748. His settlement was an unfortunate one, inasmuch as the title to his plantation was disputed and he eventually sold out to the claimant at a nominal sum. His first wife died, in the last year of his residence there, leaving him six small children. He was captain of one of the companies in the "Associated Regiment for the West end of Lancaster County, on the Susquehanna" in 1747-48. In 1750 he removed to Middleton township, Cumberland county, locating on a farm about two miles north of Carlisle, where he resided until his death. [CRFP, 855]
He was born at Ballyarnat, near Londonderry, Ireland. He emigrated to New Hampshire in 1722, but removed to Delaware about 1726. The next year he settled at Chestnut Level, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he made an unfortunate purchase of land that resulted in litigation. In 1748 he sold his claim and removed to the Cumberland Valley, settling on the north side of the Conodoguinet Creek, within sight of Meetinghouse Springs Church. He served in defense of the frontier during the French and Indian war.
Andrew, his brother David and their sister Rachel (Mrs. Solomon Walker), came to America in 1726, and first settled in New Hampshire, where David remained. Andrew and his brother-in-law, Mr. Walker, were not satisfied to locate there, and so with their families and possessions shipped from Boston and landed at New Castle, Delaware. Andrew Gregg first located on a tract which he purchased at Chestnut Level, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, where he continued to live until 1748, when he purchased and removed to a plantation near Carlisle, where he continued to reside until his death.
