Danene, I cannot give you a lot of information but did want to tell you the following: Your Martha d/O Robert Hawkins Gregory had a brother George Allen Gregory who married Oceanie Paris Shoulders, sister to my grandmother Ophelia Shoulders. Ophelia died at a young age and my mother went to live with George Allen and Ocenia Gregory. Mother has told me several times about Uncle George visiting with his niece "Mag" Burris. I had no information on Martha except she was born ca. 1863. Hope we can figure this out.
