The petition of the undersigned, respectfully sheweth that his 
father, Edward Gregory late of said district, departed his life 
on or about the 12th day of December last.  Leaving an instrument 
purporting to be his last will and testament - but the witnesses 
thereto refusing to swear to the execution thereof, it consequently 
is no will and therefore your petitioner withdrawn the petition 
which he, sometime since, filed to have the aforesaid supposed 
will proven in solemn form.  Your petitioner further shew unto 
you that his father, the aforesaid Edward Gregory, left his widow 
Nancy Gregory, ( mother of petitioner ), and grandchildren and the 
following children heirs surviving. 

To wit:

James Gregory, Jeremiah Gregory,  Thomas Gregory, Isaac Gregory, 
Ansel Gregory,  Tilman Gregory, Jared Gregory, Margaret Gregory, 
Sarah French (w/o Thomas)

and the following grandchildren:

Isaac Gregory,  Cornelius F Gregory, John Gregory, Samuel Gregory,
Jane Gregory

all children of William Gregory, deceased.

Your petitioner would also shew that his father left a personal 
estate consisting of three negroes, corn, fodder, horses etc., 
supposed to worth about $1500, therefore your petitioner prays 
that letters of administration on all and singular the goods and 
chattels, rights and credits which were of the said 
Edward Gregory be granted him apon compiling with the usual 
terms in such case.
