You are correct. Alix Gress (always 2 "s"s) was the sister of Gretchen Gress LeMaistre (Mrs. Fontaine LeMaistre), daughter of Eugenia Morris Stephens Gress and Morgan Valentine Gress as well as my aunt. Margaret Mitchell came from the Stephens side as well as Alexander Stephens - vice president of the Confederate States of America. Morgan Gress was the youngest son of George Valentine Gress of Atlanta, Georgia who gave to the city of Atlanta both its first zoo and the cyclorama of the Civil War.
As I understand it - and I do not know much about genealogy - G.V.Gress came from the youngest of 5 brothers who immigrated just before the Revolutionary War to Pennsylvania.
