William Gregg, Harriett Conhope, and their Ancestors

My first study I completed was that of William Gregg (1797-1857) and Harriet Conhope (1804-1864).  They are great, great grandparents of my grandmother, Donna LaLita Russon and parents of my immigrant ancestor, Mary Ann Gregg Tame (1839-1915).  William and Mary Ann also both joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in 1849 and 1857 respectively.

While I attended Brigham Young University, I visited my grandmother who lives in Pleasant Grove.  I digitized everything I could find.  I found the histories written about this family and when I started my fact checking process, I found the chronology to be rather jumbled.  The following book is a mixture of the stories passed down for many generations and the original records used to reconstuct the timeline:

As always, any story constructed from records is only as good as the current information.  As more information is found, I will update it with a second edition.
