Victor,
I checked all my best resources for the Orange Co., NC Gregston/Gregsons and not a one reports the parents of Fanny Williams who married William Gregson.
I do need to correct something from my last post.Campbell Sutton's wife was Fannie CARDEN [not Fannie Craven]."Robert Gragson" and "Patsey Sutton" [census record list her as Martha] have a marriage bond recorded in Orange Co., NC on 12 Oct 1819 with the bodsman, "John Cardin", and witness, "Jos A Woods".Other surnames connected with the Orange Co. branch of the Gregson Family are; McCrory, McRory, Jackson, Stevens, and Walker.
There was an "Eli Gragson" who married "Salley Williams" - their marriage bond posted in Orange Co., NC on 23 Sep 1824 with the bondsman being "George McCreey".This Eli might have ended up in Haywood County, TN on the 1850 Census with wife, "Elizabeth".I cannot be sure they are the same but I have him on my list of TO Be Researched.
Back to the 1840 Census for Henry Co., TN.I believe the George Gregson shown there to be of age 70 and under 80 is "George Gregson" who posted a marriage bond with "Martha Hunter" on 28 Jul 1792 in Orange Co., NC with bondsman; "Kenneth Anderso" [i.e. Anderson] and witnessed by "Ab B Bruce".Some researchers have suggested this gentleman died in Tennessee as early as 1835 but I believe he's kin to the Energizer Bunny - this age fits.
I know what you mean about "in-laws" and, unfortunately, women get the short end of the stick in genealogy but, I've found, they often provide the best supporting documentation.
Have a Good Day,
Lynette
