NOTE: The information on his ancestors comes from the MacGreggorForum- not documented- some dates come from Paul F. Wilson's web page.

abt 1618 received a silver studded, ivory headed cane from King James I for his help in getting MacGreggors to leave Scotland for Ireland.

Gaelic spelling  MacGrioghair clan motto-    'S rioghal mo dhream (my race/blood is royal) badge- pine tree origin of name- son of Gregory (flocks man) clan lands-  Glen Dochart, Glen Orchy, Glen Lyon, Glen Stare, GlenGyle- all eventually lost to the clan Campbel of Argyll
BIOGRAPHY: According to 'The Quaker Greggs', John was awarded the Barony of Glenarm in County Antrim, Ireland by King James I on the condition that he settle there with a number of members of the Gregg family.  This was on land that had been cleared of the Irish by Cromwell's forces.

BIOGRAPHY: John received the "cane" (The Mac Gregor Cain) from  King James I in esteem and appreciation of his influence and responsibility in the removal of the Mac Gregor/Greggs from Scotland to County Antrim, Ulster (Ireland) about 1618.  This according to Melinda Moore Kaufman.

BIOGRAPHY: Hazel May Middleton Kendall, in her book "Quaker Greggs," writes (page 16):

BIOGRAPHY: "Previous to the reign of Mary Stuart's son, James I, 1603-1625 (known also as James VI of England) a curious rumour floated that a Scottish King would sympathize with Ireland because the Irish were the original "Scots." James I established circuits and a complete system of shires in northern Ireland.  The English system was violently substituted.  He had a mania for colonization. ; Thousands left Scotland for Nova Scotia and Ulster [in Ireland].  King James visited Scotland for the second time in 1617 after which whole communities of various clans were transplanted to Ulster.  Among them were many Gregs from the clan Gregor.  Their leader, a John Gregg, evidently descended from next to the oldest son of Black John of the Coat of Mail, received from King James I a silver-studded ivory-headed cane in esteem and appreciation of his influence and responsibility in the removal of the Gregs from Scotland to County Antrim, Ulster, about 1618.'

BIOGRAPHY: "John Gregg was given and settled his people in the barony of Glenarm, County Antrim, Ireland, on the northeast coast.'

BIOGRAPHY: "William Gregg, oldest son of John Gregg and a Presbyterian landholder, was forced to leave his inheritance of Glenarm Barony on the coast of County Antrim  after May 1653."
