Morgan Judith 'Judy' [Female]

Change: 17 JAN 2013

Judy is said to have been a relative of John H. Morgan, the SouthernGeneral and leader in th e time of the Civil Ward. John Gregory died inNorth Carolina, and his widow with her childre n, came to Sm ith Co.between 1791 and 1799.

From Genforum:
She was frequently referred to as Jude Gregory. John Gregory and his wife lived for a number of years in Chatham County, North Carolina. There Judy came near to losing her life when she was struck on the head with a heavy piece of wood in the hands of a Negro slave named "Zip," when our great-great-grandfather, Jeremiah Gregory, was an infant. Jeremiah was born in North Carolina in 1764**, and his wife, Jude Gregory. He died on the waters of Nickojack Branch of Peyton's Creek in November, 1854, at the age of 90 years.
The story of the near fatal blow that Judy received is as follows: When Jerry was perhaps a year old, about 1767, John Gregory left home one day to go to mill, which was perhaps some miles away. He was delayed for perhaps two daughters, whose names we do not know, and little Jerry, were left at home. The faithful wife sat up and waited and waited for hours for her husband's return. He was said to have been, very fond of "mush," an early American food made of meal fried in grease. So the wife had prepared a bowl of the kind of food that her husband enjoyed and had left it sitting on the hearth of the home. She had retired in the little one-room house in which they lived in central North Carolina. About the break of day next morning, she was awakened by the sound of someone eating the "mush." She called out and said, " John, you nearly scared me to death." A voice, that of "Zip," answered in these words, "I will scare you worse than that in a minute." The slave had come down the chimney in the absence of his owner. The frightened wife and mother leaped out of bed, with her infant son, little Jerry, in her arms and flew to a door which she opened and dashed out. "Zip" followed her with a club in his hands. Around and around the house, she ran, clinging to her child until finally the slave felled her with a blow of the club he carried. Thinking he had killed his master's wife, fear took hold of the Negro and he fled from the scene, not doing her any other physical harm than the blow on the woman's head. An older child, a daughter, being aroused by the cries of her mother, seized our great-great-grandfather, Jerry, in her arms and set out to try to locate her father. She soon came to the creek near the home and was on the point of wading into its rolling waters when her father's voice, from the other side of the stream, stopped her. She cried out, "Zip has killed mammy." John Gregory, rushing home with his older daughter and little son, found his wife lying in the "drip of the house," the falling water having somewhat revived her. He secured the services of the best physician in that section, who raised the crushed skull and placed a Spanish silver dollar over the brain. She recovered and bore our great-great-great-grandfather at least three other sons, Little Bill, Major and John, Jr., commonly known as Joe Gregory.
As soon as the injured woman had proper attention, a search was instituted for "Zip," who was tracked to a "clearing" in the forest and located in a huge pile of logs which had been thrown together for the purpose of removing them by burning. He was ordered to come out of the log pile and would not for a time. Finally a fire was built at one end of the logs and "Zip" was "smoked out." He emerged from his log hide-out with a huge knife in his hand. He was quickly overpowered and carried to the Gregory home where he was hanged up by his big toes and left to die. He hanged thus for many hours, during part of which the little girl, our great-great-great-aunt, would stick splinters of wood into the fire, hold them there until they were burning and then stick them into the body of the slave, as she said, "You killed my mammy," the life of Judy hanging in the balance for days. In the seventeen nineties John died, perhaps in 1794. Later his widow and her children came to Nickojack Branch of Peyton's Creek. She is buried on part of the present Lester Earps farm, not far from Piper's school house on Nickojack. A large weeping willow stood for many years on her grave.
