Mcgregor, John

Mcgregor, John , Farmer, “Morfield,” Makarewa. Mr McGregor was born in 1853, in Ross-shire, Scotland, and came to Port Chalmers with his father by the ship “Storm Cloud” in 1861. He was brought up to farming in the Makarewa district, by his father, and in 1874 purchased his present property, which consists of 650 acres of freehold. The land was at that time almost covered with heavy bush, but has since been brought into cultivation, and is now devoted to mixed farming. Mr McGregor was at one time connected with the Shamrock, Rose and Thistle Lodge of Oddfellows.
