(He) was Born in Windham, N. H., 4 June 1763. He was the youngest of the eleven children of his parents, and was named for an older Brother, born a score of years earlier, who had perished in the military service in the French and Indian Wars. He was only eleven years of age when the Revolution broke out, so was too young for military service in that war in which three of his older brothers were soldiers. About the time of his marriage in 1789 he settled in Ackworth, N.H., where as "John Gragg" he is enrolled in the United States Census of 1790: as head of a family of one male over sixteen years, no male under sixteen, and one female. This enumeration refers to himself and his wife, none of their children being then born. Acworth was chartered in 1766, and John Gregg bought and resided on lots nos. 17 and 18 in range 11, near Cold Pond, in the extreme north-east corner of the town. He was a farmer and a man of retiring disposition, holding none of town offices. Inheriting the great vitality of his ancestors he lived to the advanced age of eighty-seven years, dying in Ackworth 9 January 1851.
