At a continued session of the Fleming County Court held on the 3rd day of May, 1924. An instrument in writing purporting to be the last will and testament of Joseph H. Gregory was produced in open court and ordered to lie over for proof and on the 7th day of May was again produced in open court and proven by the two attesting witnesses, viz:

L.L. Emmons and J.B. Booten, who after being duly sworn, each stated that he signed same at the request of the Testator and in his presence and in the presence of each other and at the time of signing same said Testor was of sound mind and disposing memory all of which is accepted and approved by the court and said instrument of writing ordered to be filed and recorded as the last true will and testament of Joseph H.

Her death certificate records Lina Gregory, age 59 years 11 months 30 days, born 1 Jan 1867 in Kentucky, died 31 Dec 1926 in Sherburne, Fleming Co., Ky, widow of Joseph Gregory, father Thos Ham, born in Ky, mother’s maiden name unknown, cause of death cancer of stomach, informant Nathan Gregory, Flemingsburg, Ky, burial in Hillsboro, Ky.

Her gravestone has her birthdate as 31 Jan 1868.

It is likely that she was really born in 1869, since she was recorded as age 1 in the 1870 census, and as age 10 in the 1880 census.
