Pub. Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1884

           [301-302]

           ALLAN McGREGOR, farmer, section 8, Bloomfield Township, was
        born Jan. 8, 1848, in Glengarry Co., Ont., and is of Highland-
        Scotch descent.  His parents, JOHN and CATHERINE (McDONALD)
        McGREGOR, reside in the village of Wyebridge, Simcoe Co., Ont.,
        having sold their farm and retired to pass their declining years
        free from care.
           The son was reared to manhood on a farm. He spent the winters of
        his life, after reaching his majority in lumbering, and working
        summers on a farm. He came to Michigan in 1876, and in the fall of
        1877 bought the farm on which he now resides. He was in the employ
        of LANGDON HUBBARD for four years as a foreman, and took possession
        of his farm in February, 1881.
           MR. McGREGOR suffered heavily in the fire of 1881, losing his
        barn, frame house, crops and furniture, also pigs and hens, saving
        only his cattle and one horse. His family took shelter in a shanty,
        after seeing the destruction of their property, where they resided
        six weeks, and until a new house was in readiness for their occu-
        pancy. His crop of fall wheat was in the ground, which was a piece
        of good pasture.
           MR. McGREGOR is a Democrat in political connection, and at
        present (1884) is Treasurer of his Township.
           He was married, March 27, 1866, to ANN J. TRIPP. Their children
        were born as follows: DUNCAN JOHN, April 3, 1867; CATHERINE MARY,
        May 27, 1869 (she died April 29, 1879, while on a visit to Canada,
        with her mother); JANE, April 12, 1873; ALEXANDER, May 12, 1875;
        WILLIAM ALLEN, May 7, 1879. All the children were born in Canada.
           MRS. McGREGOR is the daughter of HIRAM and CATHERINE EMMA
        (HARRINGTON) TRIPP, and was born Oct. 8, 1850, in Canada. Her
        parents are of Dutch and English descent. They reside on a farm in
        Maskoka, Ont.
