John GREGSON
Birth: John, son of John and Jacosa Gregson, Maidstone, was born in Maidstone and baptized on December 18, 1814. Father was a soldier. (I believe the father's name is in error and is really James. There are no other Gregsons in this county. The marriage certificate of James Gregson and Jocosa Pettit is found in Maidstone in 1813. Jacosa is a name not found commonly.)
