This from Feb 8 2013 post by Delaware21: "the original Gregg family burial ground is located on what is now Wilmington Country Club property. The area is about 35' by 35' and is delineated by large stones on each corner. There are no headstones, so (other than William) it is unknown which Greggs are buried there."

*Note: While it is not uncommon for Quakers to have no, or small markers, the two nearby Quaker cemeteries do have some very old headstones. This Gregg family was active in the Meeting Houses for both cemeteries.

Strand Millas Plantation located at Christiana Hundred, bordering the Pennsylvania line, and lying between Brandywine and Red Clay Creeks; on the west side of Brandywine Creek. This acreage adjoined the lands of Matthias Defosse on Squirrel Creek. It is now the Montchanin Road, Delaware, in the vicinity of the upper reaches of Winterthur estate and Center Meeting Road.

William Gregg and family members were buried on the family plantation. William died 1687, Strand Mills, New Castle DL, where this old cemetery was established.
