    3. Dear Fran, For your interest, the names of Wm Greg and John Greg are along with others on a letter of appreciation (dated 15 January 1773 at Charlestown) printed in the Belfast Newsletter of June 1773. The appreciation was directed to James Gillis and Rev Martin because of their support to the passengers during an outbreak of smallpox on board ship. Happy to email images of the articles (total file size 200KB) to any interested list members. Good luck with your researches.
