     Lydia Alice Harrison was born on 3 May 1737 at Augusta Co., Virginia, USA.¹ She married Robert Gregg Sr., son of John Gregg (Sr.) and Nancy Ann Wood, circa 1754 at Augusta Co., Virginia, USA,
.¹

Lydia Alice Harrison died on 31 October 1788 at Smith Creek, Rockingham, Augusta Co., Virginia, USA, at age 51.¹
      ;
Per Gragg [1978:77]: "Some descendants of Robert claim that he married Alice Harrison, but this has not been proven. Robert would have been about the right age for marriage after he moved to Augusta County. In addition to other sources, a careful perusal of the "Settlers By The Long Grey Trail " by J. Houston Harrison, an excellent treatise on the genealogy of the Harrisons, and their connections in Augusta County, there was no mention of a Harrison marrying a Gragg. There were many Harrisons i n the same general area in which the Graggs lived. It may be surmised that Robert may have been married a second time. It is calculated, that Robert was f i r s t married about 1754; his youngest daughter, Elizabeth, was born about 1777. Robert did not mention a wife in his will, dated in 1793."¹ GKJ-4.

     Robert Gregg Jr. was born at Augusta Co., Virginia, USA.¹
Robert Gregg Jr. died circa 1800 at Tennessee, USA;
Per Gragg [1978:78]: "He died intestate, and according to his younger brother, Samuel, he (Robert) was killed by Indians. It i s not known when Robert was killed , but it was after the year 1793. There were still marauding Indians in the eastern section of Tennessee in the late 1790s, and after the turn of the century...A conjecture is , that Robert, Jr., was killed by Indians about the year 1800."¹
     He was Research Issues
Per Gragg [1978:78]: "Robert, J r . , was first mentioned in Augusta County court records as a tax payer in 1782." in 1782 at Augusta Co., Virginia, USA.¹
