A Wilson Family Tree

Notes for Benjamin Gause Gregg



Find A Grave (listing for Dr Benjamin Gause Gregg) gives his birth date as 19 Mar 1860, but his gravestone, pictured there, says May 19, 1860. I don't know which is right, but I'm always inclined to go with what is set in stone.

From Find A Grave:
