General Notes: Husband - Matthew Duncan Gregg


He was a prominent business man of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, for a number of years, but removed to Loudon County, Virginia, where he engaged in the iron business.

He was born in Penn's Valley, Center County, Pennsylvania, and fitted himself for the legal profession, being admitted to the bar in Huntingdon in 1825. From that place he moved first to Pine Grove Mills, Center County, and in 1838 took up his residence in Bellefonte, where he engaged in the iron business. In 1845, in connection with his brother James P., and his brother-in-law, David Mitchell, he purchased the Potomac Furnace in Loudoun County, Virginia.

He was buried in a churchyard between Leesburg, Virginia, and Point of Rocks, Maryland.
