Notes for Richard GREGG

Youngest son, Richard was the last son to occupy the home after the mother's death about January of 1692. The land had been surveyed on May 11, 1685 by Henry Hollingsworth and after the father's death was divided by him on April 23, 1692 between sons John and Richard Gregg, leaving 150 acres for Richard Gregg including Strand Millas.

Eventually Richard had poor health for years. He had a petition to the King 1715 relating to the early boundary difficulties between Pennsylvania and Delaware. The evidence that he died without heirs surviving is scant and negative, but conclusive. In the deed of gift from his brother John to brother George 1719, John could not have had any right, title or demand on his property by inheritance if any direct heirs of Richard were living. He made no statements indicating any debt or obligation of his brother Richard, to himself conferring such a claim, Such statement being necessary to make the deed valid if such were the basis of his claim. An oldest son inherited at least twice as much as another son at the date by English law and might, with unconfirmed land as "heir-at-law", have a right in all.
