John served in the Revolutionary War and was disowned (letter of GGGranddaughter Mary Gregg McCollum. Penn Arch. 5. Vol. 4). In the spring of 1793 he with William Buchanan and his wife Jane went across the Ohio River into Clermont County, Ohio to build a log cabin on the site of Neville. A wring survey caused them to give up 1000 acres to avoid trouble and went back to Kentucky. John Gregg had not taken his family because the children were too small. Sarah Gregg was a beautiful woman of light frame weighing ninety pounds.
