Notes for Anne Sammis: The source I have followed here had several more children than other sources. The information is fairly complete and consistent on them, so this seems credible. Henry, the first child, is the child through whom are descended the Gregories of Oklahoma, through Julia Ann Clementine Strange and Dock Patrick Gregory in Tennessee and Oklahoma. Strange descendants from this line remained in Tennessee or immigrated to Georgia, Mississippi and farther west.

Marriage Notes for Anne Sammis and Alexander Strange: Dates vary on the marriages, but several genealogies that report two wives date the first marriage to the nameless wife about 1684. They date the marriage to the second wife, Ann (Sammis), about 1690. One of the first sources I was analyzing early had two wives, with 4 children of the second wife.
However, the fourth child, Elizabeth, under the first wife was born after the date of the marriage to the second wife. Likewise, two other children under the second wife, Anne (whose maiden name Sammis was provided by another source) were born at dates earlier than the fourth child under the first wife, though after the date of marriage to Anne.
Then Elizabeth is repeated under Anne, though with the same date as the first listing. This mess is comparatively is quite neat. I saw several on Ancestry's One World Tree that were a great mish mash. It seems most likely that Alexander had one wife, married at the original date, which is one year before the date of the fist child Henry S.
Another source has a more ordered statement of the birth of the children with two wives. The unknown wife in this scenario was the mother of Henry and Thomas. The second wife, Anne (no last name) is the mother of Alexander, born in 1691, and the rest of the children.
