Transcriber Note:

This proves that John Gregory died in Chatham County, NC before 11 Feb 1794.  Possibly he could have died the latter part of 1793 or the beginning of 1794 depending on how soon after his death they drew up this document.  At least now we know that the inventory was in the correct filing order. Below is the original Document.
