McGregor, John

(fl. 1870s, 80s), farmer. John McGregor was a farmer on East 1/2 lot 10, in the 2nd Concession of Charlottenburgh Township, GC. His diary in fifty large pages covering events from May 1877 to Nov. 1883 is in the library of the University of British Columbia, as a gift of L. W. McLennan on 5 July 1965. This is a plain, line-a-day diary of jottings, but it is valuable for the picture it gives of agriculture in southern GC at the time. For other GC diaries from or near MacGregor’s period of writing, see James Cameron, Angus MacMillan and Charles Stewart.
