Deanie, I'll check my records. The Gregories does sound familiar. There were several Corder families that lived in Crawford Co., AR. So far, I have not been able to connect my family with the Corders who moved there from Wayne and Whitley Co., KY. Those Corders have been well researched and share a lovely history. One member of this family married into my cousin's family--the Stevensons.
