1863 · The Battle at Gettysburg

Between 46,000 and 51,000 soldiers lost their lives during the three-day Battle. To honor the fallen soldiers, President Abraham Lincoln read his historic Gettysburg Address and helped those listening by redefining the purpose of the war.

Name Meaning
English (Kent): habitational name from a lost or unidentified place called Gregby, apparently in Lincolnshire. Although it is not certain that the surname in Kent is connected with the early bearers in Lincolnshire and Norfolk, it seems plausible. A habitational name with the Scandinavian generic -by (Old Danish bȳ ‘settlement, village’), while typical of the Danelaw, is an impossible coinage in southeastern England.
English: perhaps a variant of Grebby from a place so called in Scremby (Lincolnshire).
