Figure 16: Alex Gregg & Florence Henderson Gregg

Alex Gregg lived from 1844 until 1938. Though he never lived in either of these two cabins, he told of life before emancipation when he lived near Jefferies Creek in a hewn-timber cabin like these. (1930s photograph courtesy of Archie Waiters’s family.)
