I'm moving this from the profile to Discussions Tab - so in the future, we can come back and see what was discussed- if ok with you all?
Disputed origins
From https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Gregory-2204
I found this on WorldConnect:
Name: Mary GREGORY Sex: F Birth: ABT. 1741
Father: RICHARD GREGORY b: 1695 in Westmoreland Co., VA Mother: MILDREDGE WASHINGTON SMITH b: 1713 in of, Mecklenburg Co., VA
Marriage 1 Archelaus MITCHELL · Married: 27 NOV 1763 in Charles City (or Charlotte) Co., VA
Since there is a definite marriage date and it's late enough that it would have to be Archelaus B., I think perhaps this is where Mary Gregory belongs. This database had nothing on the Mitchells, it was a Gregory database. It indicated that the earlier Gregorys, of an age to be contemporaries of Thomas Mitchell [d. 1736] and his wife Mary maybe did not come to New Kent Co that early. At the time the children of Thomas & Mary, Martha, Thomas & Archelaus & perhaps Rebecca [although I find no Rebecca for this generation], were born, 1697-1705, this family of Gregorys lived in King & Queen Co, the part that became Essex Co. There weren't any spare daughters named Mary in that generation.
