The William Gregg who immigrated in 1682 settled near Brandywine Valley in Delaware near William Penn. He was granted 600 acres in Penn's manor and built "Strand Millas" in 1687. According to the book "Quaker Greggs" he died there July 1, 1687. In the book "Ancestors of Gregg Livingston Neel", the author states that "Strand Millas lay on what is now the Montchanin Road, Delaware; After the log house was destroyed , one of his sons built a house nearby, of Brandywine granite. The historic house boasts a ghost, the quaintly garbed Quaker Gregg.

* Note; Josiah Gregg's (1823-1902) bible states William died at 45 in 1687 on his own plantation. See book page for more info on mentioned books.
