Andrew Smith Gregg was born in Lawrence County, Ala., December 7, 
1827, and is the son of Samuel and Mary (Smith) Gregg, both natives of 
Tennessee. The parents were frugal, industrious people, and settled in 
Oxford's Bend of White River, Washington County, Ark., in 1835. Here 
the mother died in 1847, and the father followed her in 1867. Andrew 
S. Gregg was reared to manhood in Arkansas, and has since been closely 
identified with the stock dealing interests of Washington County. He 
also followed, for six years, the teacher's profession in Washington 
County, Ark. In 1861 he was elected to the office of sheriff of 
Washington County, served one year, and was re-elected to the same 
position in 1862. In 1876 he was elected circuit court clerk, and held 
the position eight years, being re-elected to succeed himself three 
times. He was married, in Washington County, to Miss Sarah L. Muncy,
daughter of Nathaniel Muncy, a native of Virginia, and became the 
father of a son and three daughters: Fannie E. (wife of Thomas G. 
Walker), Mary Elizabeth (wife of Thomas Gray), Dora I., Washington 
Alexander. During war times Mr. Gregg clerked in the State treasurer's 
office, and during the latter part of the war had charge of the 
archives of the State. He is a Mason, knighted in Baldwin's Commandery 
No. 4, is a member of the I. O. O. F., and a member of Springdale 
Horticultural Society. Mr. Gregg, his wife and daughter are members of 
the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, of which he has been steward
