Connecticut Town Marriage Records, pre-1870 (Barbour Collection) - Danbury, CT Name: Nathan Gregory Residence Location: Danbury Marriage Date: 27 Mar 1831 Marriage Location: Danbury Spouse: Clarissa Ford Spouse Residence Location: Bridgewater. by John Nickerson

THE ANCIENT HISTORICAL RECORDS of NORWALK, CONNECTICUT Compiled and published by Edwin Hall, pastor of the First Congregational Church of Norwalk, Connecticut. New York: Baker & Scribner, published 1847. Nathan Gregory married Sarah St. John, July 3, 1754. Ebenezer Gregory, born Jan. 10, 1755. Anna Gregory, born Mar.14, 1758. Noah Gregory, born Feb.20, 1760. Sally Gregory, born Mar. 9, 1763. Polly Gregory, born Nov. 28, 1772.

I have not been able to find any birth or death records for Nathan or Sarah (St John) Gregory. There is a discrepancy in that the only Nathan Gregory found show records for Nathan and Thankful Benedict married 2Apr1760, which is in conflict with birth years of Sally b 9Mar1763 and Polly b 28Nov1772 to Nathan and Sarah St John. For sure more information needs be found on Nathan Gregory, but am including here in the hopes someone else may have information.
