This is the family group sheet from my database on Currence and Harriet Payne Gregory. I do not show her parents. But Homer Gregory Jr. has listed them as John Payne and Mary Sanders. So, I¹ll add that. Hopefully, someone will have more on the Payne line. My guess is that Homer already has the following: Currence and Harriet Henrietta Payne Name: Currence Gregory Father: Adam Given Gregory (1802-1877) Mother: Rebecca Dodrill (1806-1835) Spouse: Harriet Henrietta Payne Children 1 M: A.

Sherri Brake-Recco ================================================================== The Re-ECHO By Wendel Ware. 606 Hawaii Street~ El Segundo, Ca Friday, November 29,1907 CURRENCE GREGORY DEAD The many friends of this good man were shocked last Saturday evening to learn that he was dead. About five o'clock as he was returning to the home of his son. I.N. Gregory, in North Webster Springs, with whom he was making his home, after a trip over into the town, he was seen 'to halt suddenly, then sink to the ground. Assistance reached him immediately, and he was carried to the house, where he breathed his last within a few minutes, the cause being given by physicians as heart failure. While it had been noticeable for some months that he was growing feeble, he was yet a wonderfully well preserved man and his death came as a great surprise. Monday morning at 11:00 o'clock the remains were laid to rest beside those of his beloved wife in the burying ground near the old home about five miles up Elk River, in the presence of an immense gathering of sorrowing relatives and friends. The service was conducted by the Reverend C.J. Price. Currence Gregory was born February 20, 1831, and was therefore aged seventy-six years, nine months and three days. He was a son of Adam Gregory, and is survived by a sister, Mrs. Mattie Baughman, now about eighty years of age, and two half-brothers, Harmon and William H. Gregory. In 1852 he was married to Harriett Payne, and to this union were born thirteen sons and one daughter: Hinkle, John, David, Jesse, Benjamin, George, William, Peter, Isaac, Theodore, Alfred, Shepherd, (deceased), Isaiah and Nancy, now Mrs. David B. Cogar. In this large family, among whom are left are some of our most esteemed citizens, he has left a monument which will do more than stately marble to cause him to be remembered by the present and known to coming generations. He was born on Elk River near Webster Springs and spent his entire life near the place of his birth, and with him died much of the early history of the section. Known far and near as a just and upright citizen, honorable in all his dealings, he was held in the highest esteem and his fri ends numbered the entire population.
