    3. Shawnee, Please add Thomas Gregg and his wife, Sarah Lawton Gregg, to the list of burials at Oakwood Cemetery, Hamilton. My source for this information is an article from the Hancock County Journal, dated June 18, 1953, written by Pearl Gordon Vestal. As one of untold numbers of researchers who owe a huge debt of gratitude to Editor Gregg, I was saddened to learn that both he and his wife lie in unmarked graves, unless in the intervening years a marker has been placed for them. According to this article, Thomas Gregg was born 14 December 1808, died 11 February 1892. I regret that I do not have dates for Mrs. Gregg. Perhaps someone else on the list can add that information. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~majorville/hancock_related/gregg.html Marcia Farina

    3. There is a memorial marker for Thomas Gregg (and probably his wife) at the Oakwood Cemetery. My mother was a member of the historical society and DAR and it was done during the time she was actively involved (l970s?). I'm not certain now which organization it was that took that project. It is a rather large boulder placed on a corner that is easily seen from the driveway. It faces northeast as I remember.. I noticed it a couple of years ago while searching for another monument in the older part of Oakwood Cemetery. I wonder what Mr. Gregg would think of our state legislature apologizing for the treatment of the Mormons. If only they had read the histories! I think it might be easy to find his actual grave--it is the space where the ground is trembling while he spins in it. There is no comparing the Mormons of that time with the ones of today. Can be said of many things, huh?!
