Chapman Brothers, Chicago, 1884 [306-307] DANIEL McGREGOR, farmer, section 9, Bloomfield Township, was born Nov. 20, 1835, in Glengarry Co., Ont. His parents, JOHN and CATHERINE (McDONALD) McGREGOR, are both living in the village of Wyebridge, Simcoe Co., Ont. The father was born at Glenlion in the Highlands of Scotland, and will be 83 years of age Dec. 25, 1884. The mother is 75 years old, and is a native of Ontario. MR. McGREGOR was reared to the vocation of farmer by his father, and when he reached his majority engaged in lumbering in Simcoe Co., Ont., where he passed the winter seasons of four years in the various avenues pertaining to that branch of business, and at the same time he engaged in mercantile business at Wyebridge, in which he was occupied ten years. At the end of that time his business was destroyed by fire, and unfortunately without insurance. He came to Michigan, and, meeting MR. L. HUBBARD at Port Huron, he engaged with him in the capacity of foreman on his farm. He bought the property of which he has since been the owner in 1877. It was in a wholly wild condition and he has expended his labors and energies upon it until he has placed 45 acres in a good agri- cultural condition, with a frame house and barn upon it. MR. McGREGOR is a Democrat, and has been Supervisor of his township one year. He has a thorough knowledge of horses. His marriage to ISABELLA KENNEDY occurred Feb. 21, 1860.
