Elizabeth Kyle, of Argyleshire, Scotland, then a resident of Haverhill, Mass. She was b. Jan. 17, 1720. She is described as possessing an uncommon share of personal beauty, having dark hair and eyes, with a delicate white complexion, and fine person ; her disposition was amia- ble, and she died at an advanced age, shortly before her husband. William Gregg was a marked man in the little community in which his life was spent, and was active in the political and re- ligious affairs of the town. He was moderator in 1744, '45, and at different special meetings ; was clerk in 1747, '48, '49, '50, '51, and elected again at the illegal meeting in 1752; was selectman on the first board in 1742, also in 1743, '56, '57. He was a great hunter, and made noted inroads upon the catamounts, wild cats, bears, wolves, and deer which existed in great numbers in the un- broken forests of Windham. He lived where Wellington Rus-

Was well educated for that time, and had a strong, healthy intellect. Although he left Ireland in his eighth year, everything was fresh in his recollection. He could describe with great minuteness the old city of Londonderry, with its walls and fortifications ; how the streets ran, as he saw them in his boyhood; and would relate what he then and there heard and saw of the ex- treme distress growing out of the celebrated siege and defence of the city, so long continued that rats, even, were food, and had a market price, and in the dire famine old leather of shoes was eaten to stay the gnawings of hunger, and how terrible was the famine, and how deadly the pestilence which followed.

21. Capt. David4 [8] (David8, John2, David1), b. in Wind- ham, 1727. David Gregg was a younger son of David and Mary (Evans) Gregg. He left his parents at the age of fifteen, went to sea, visiting London several times, and did not return until he was twenty-six yrs. of age, serving seven yrs. before the mast and four as captain. It is related of him, that after having been promoted to the command of a vessel, he came into the country to pass the winter, and engaged his board of his father and mother. He was not recognized by them or any of the neighbors, until he happened to meet Molly McCoy, a blind woman, who no sooner heard his voice, than she exclaimed, "David Gregg has come!" Captain Gregg was an officer in the French war, and commanded a bateau on the North River, and his men were obliged to carry the boat around what is now Cohoes Falls on the Mohawk River. Was afterward with General Bradstreet. He settled in Windham; was an elder in the church, and m. April 6, 1756, Annie, dau. of Daniel Clyde1, of Clydesdale, Scotland, then living in Windham.

He was after- wards offered a captaincy, but declined it. Ile received his com- mission as lieutenant after the war. He lived in a house that stood over the old cellar opposite C .- E. Buttrick's.

He was a soldier in the Revolution, and went on several privateering voyages in the northern seas, and escaped unhurt. He rem. to Antrim in 1785, and he and his wife were among the original members of the old church. He was a strong, fearless, but peaceable man. He had a neighbor, not over strong, who was given to stimulants, and when under their influence was noisy and full of fight. On most merry-making occasions he would imbibe too much, provoke a fight, and, getting worsted, would call on " Alec," who would rescue him. This was not agreeable to "Alec," and he finally told his tippling friend that never again would he aid him under such circumstances, and any appeal of his would be useless. On the next training day the imbibing brother drank too much of " the dark beverage of hell," got into a fight, and in the midst of it yelled for " Alec " with all his power. But " Alce " did not respond, and the poor fellow was unmercifully beaten, from which he did not rally for several days. He could not forgive Mr. Gregg for leaving him to his fate,
