Possible relation? According to this, however, Cpt. David Gregg's father was David MacGregor (b. 1600, Glen Orchy), not John William from Ireland. Glen Orchy is in Argyll Scotland.

Captain David Gregg is the son of David MacGregor. In 1603, King James VI of Scotland outlawed the name MacGregor, so those of Clan Gregor had to change their surname accordingly.

A Victorian era, romanticised depiction of a member of the clan by R. R. McIan, from The Clans of the Scottish Highlands, published in 1845. In response to the execution of two MacGregor clansmen in the year 1603,[6] Alasdair MacGregor marched into Colquhoun territory with a force of over four hundred men.[7] The chief of Clan Colquhoun, in response, had been granted a royal commission to suppress the MacGregors.[7] Colquhoun assembled a force of five hundred foot and three hundred horse and advanced to Glen Fruin to repel the Highland raiders.[7] MacGregor split his force in two and while the main MacGregor force and the Colquhouns engaged in combat, the second MacGregor force attacked the Colquhouns from the rear.[7] The Colquhouns were driven into the Moss of Auchingaich where their cavalry was useless and over two hundred Colquhouns were killed.[7] At the end of the eighteenth century, in an act of good will, the chiefs of the two clans met and shook hands on the very site of the former slaughter.[7]

In April 1603 James VI of Scotland issued an edict that proclaimed the name of MacGregor as "altogidder abolisheed".[3] This meant that anyone who bore the name must renounce it or suffer death.[3] In 1604, MacGregor and eleven of his chieftains were hanged at Mercat Cross, Edinburgh.[3] As a result, the Clan Gregor was scattered, with many taking other names such as Murray or Grant.[3] They were hunted like animals and flushed out of the heather by bloodhounds.[3]

An Edinburgh burgess, Robert Birrel, who kept a diary of events at the time, described the episode thus,

[MacGregor] wes convoyit to Berwick be the Gaird to conforme to the Earl's promese: for he promesit to put him out of Scottis grund. Swa [so] he keipit ane Hieland-manis promes; in respect he sent the Gaird to convoy him out of Scottis grund: But thai were not directit to pairt with him, but to fetche him bak agane! The 18 Januar, at evine [evening], he come agane to Edinburghe; and upone the 20-day he wes hangit at the Croce, and xj [eleven] of his freindis and name, upon ane gallous: Himself being Chieff, he wes hangit his awin hicht aboune the rest of hes freindis."[8]

An Act of the Scottish Parliament from 1617 stated[9] (translated into modern English):

It was ordained that the name of MacGregor should be abolished and that the whole persons of that name should renounce their name and take some other name and that they nor none of their name and that they nor none of their posterity should call themselves Gregor or MacGregor under pain of death ... that any person or persons of the said clan who has already renounced their names or hereafter shall renounce their names or if any of their children or posterity shall at any time hereafter assume or take to themselves the name of Gregor or MacGregor ... that every such person or persons assuming or taking to themselves the said name ... shall incur the pain of death which pain shall be executed upon them without favour.

Despite the savage treatment of the MacGregors, they had nevertheless fought for the king during the Scottish Civil War.[3] Two hundred men of the Clan Gregor fought for the Earl of Glencairn in what was known as Glencairn's rising, against the Commonwealth.[3] In recognition of this, Charles II of England repealed the proscription of the name, but William of Orange reimposed it when Charles's brother James VII was deposed.[3]
