The Gregory Family of Webster County, (West) Virginia was one of the largest families of the county.
Isaac was originally from Bath County, Virginia. He came to Webster County, (West) Virginia, around 1800 and built a large hewed-log house overlooking the Gauley River, near Beaver Run. The home had a cellar under it walled with cut stone. The nail
used were made in a blacksmith shop in Bath County, Virginia, and then carried through the wilderness on horseback. The first meeting of the Free Masons in Central (West) Virginia took place in this new home. Isaac became dissatisfied with the
location, and about the year 1812, moved to the Elk Valley, in what is now Webster County, and built a new home in the vicinity of Mill Run,five miles above Webster Springs, then called Fork Lick.Issac was a noted hunter. He killed the last buffalo known to have been killed in Webster County, just before the war of 1812. This buffalo was killed on the mountain between Elk and Back Fork rivers,and the place has since been called Buffalo Knob
He was elected Justice of the Peace of Randolph County, (West)Virginia, in 1813. In 1814, he raised a company of soldiers and went to Norfolk to fight the British.
He died in 1852, and is buried in the Gregory Cemetery near his pioneer home in the Elk Valley of Webster County.

In 1814, Isaac Gregory and some of his neighbors joined the army during the War of 1812. He rose to the rank of Corporal in the Virginia Militia while stationed at Norfolk, VA and awaiting an
attack from the British that never came. "In 1818, he accepted an appointment as Lieutenant Colonel of
the 126th Virginia Regiment, Nicholas County Militia when Nicholas county was formed, by the Virginia Assembly. While this appointment never led to any military action, it did give Isaac a dignified title by which he was known for the rest of his life."Va. Corp. Dunnington's Cooke's Co. VA, War of 1812
