The Gregory Family Crest

Gregor Macgregor, of the Clan Gregor, fourth son of Gregor McAnecham of Glenurquhay, is recognized as the founder of the family of Gregorie, or Gregory, in Scotland and America. His descendant. James MacGregor, settled on the Boyne in 1510, and his son, James, was surnamed Gregorie. The family settled at Aberdeen, and furnished successively to the scientific world some of the most distinguished savants of that and the following century. David Gregorie of Kinairdy, greatgrandson of the above James Gregorie (b. 1625, d. 1720), was the father of the James Gregorie who succeeded his brother David as Professor of Mathematics at the University of Edinburgh, when the latter removed to Oxford. His second son, William Gregory, emigrated to Massachusetts, and died there in 1740. The elder line of the descendants of David Gregorie of Kinairdy is now represented by the descendants of William Gregory, the emigrant.
