Edward Gregory reported to be 74 when he died on 12 August 1743, which means he was born about 1669. // London Evening Post, August 13. Yesterday morning died, at his house at Greenwich, aged 74, Capt. Gregory, many years a Commander in the Royal Navy and one of the Governors of Greenwich Hospital; He was a brave commander and an experienced sailor and was universally esteemed for his generosity and humanity.
