William GREGG
Margaret ECHOLS
Sarah BOURNE

Husband: William GREGG
Birth: 24 Sep 1800, PA
Death: 28 Nov 1865, near Burlington, Des Moines Co., IA
Father: William GREGG (1766-1828)
Mother: Sarah SMITH (1775-1859)

Marriage-1: 28 Mar 1822, Ohio Co., VA [now WV]

Wife-1: Margaret "Peggy" ECHOLS
Birth: 17 Jan 1801, PA? or Ohio Co., VA [now WV]
Death: 20 Apr 1860, IA
Father almost certainly: Abraham T. ECHOLES
Mother almost certainly: Sarah STROOP

Ohio Co., WV, is on the state line with PA, so it's possible Margaret was born in PA, though I suspect it's enumerator error. Abraham was the only ECHOLS living in Ohio County during this period old enough to have a daughter marry in 1822; his widow, Sarah (STROOP) ECHOLES, is living with them in the 1850 census and appears to be living with them in 1840.

Marriage-2: 7 May 1861, Des Moines Co., IA

Wife-2: Sarah BOURNE
