• Name	Aaron Gregg  [1, 2, 3, 4]
  Prefix	Capt.
  Birth	3 Jul 1776  [5]
  Gender	Male
  Military Service	Listed in JL Jr.'s SAR application as a Revolutionary War soldier, but the date of his birth precludes that. His father and father-in-law served, however. There was an Aaron Gregg who was in the Revolution (in the "Legion of the United States," under Anthony Wayne), but he couldn't be this one. He was in the War of 1812, a Captain in the 16th Regiment (Porter's) of the Kentucky Volunteer Militia. According to Kendall, "He was a Captain 16th Regiment Kentucky Militia War 1812-14 in Canada. [According to his GG Grandaughter Mary Gregg McCollum,] ‘When he returned home from war his Mother Sarah treated him to a dish of baked apples. That may mean his mother was saving but it might also have meant that Aaron loved baked apples and he did not get any in the army.' Immediately after his marriage he placed his bride beside him on a horse, a feather bed in front of him, and rode to his mother's home at ‘the old pear tree' in Bracken County to live." See in: Kentucky Soldiers of the War of 1812, index, p. 395.  [2, 6]
  Death	30 May 1841	Bracken Co., Kentucky
  Burial	Gregg Cemetery #2, Bracken Co., Kentucky   [7, 8, 9]

  Notes	His father's family descends from immigrant ancestor Samuel Gregg. His mother's family descends from immigrant ancestor William Gregg (of the so-called "Quaker Greggs"). From John Gregg Fee's autobiography: ". . . Sarah Gregg, was a Quakeress from Pennsylvania. Her eldest son, Aaron Gregg, my wife's [Matilda Hamilton's] grandfather, was an industrious free laborer, an ardent lover of liberty, and very outspoken in his denunciations of slavery. This opposition to slavery and his love of liberty passed to his children and children's children, almost without exception." His will names his wife as Sarah Gregg, and chilidren as John, Hiram, and Samuel. It was dated 7 Jan. 1841. [4, 10]
