Isaac Gregory represented Pasquotank County in North Carolina's Provincial Congress of 1775 as colonists created institutions independent of royal authority. During the Revolution he served as a brigadier general of militia in the Edenton District, responsible for organizing local defense in a region exposed to coastal raids and Loyalist activity. After the war he participated in North Carolina's constitutional conventions of 1788 and 1789, first resisting and then accepting the proposed federal Constitution after protections and amendments were promised.
