Name connected with chair manufacture. The Cornwall Freeholder of 23 Aug. 1867 carried an editorial promotion and an advertisement for McGregor’s Cabinet and Chair Factory, of GC, “in the flourishing village of River Raisin, or New Lancaster as it is better known,” i.e., in what is now the village known as Lancaster, as opposed to South Lancaster. Also, Malcolm MacGregor (1863-1953), a farmer on lot 19, 2nd Concession SRR, Charlottenburgh Township, produced handmade chairs on a limited scale from about the time of WWI into the 1940s.
