General Notes: Husband - John R. Gregg

---

He was born in East Pike Run township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, where he was reared and educated, then taught several terms of school in his native township; at one time he taught thirteen months without any vacation. He married and resided in East Pike Run township for a short time. They then conducted a hotel for several years at Coal Centre, and he afterward engaged in mercantile business; he also served many years as postmaster. Politically he was identified with the Democratic party.

He started the first general store in Greenfield in 1835, which he kept for fifty years. He, in partnership with Hiram Smith, loaded the first coal boat there, and ran it by hand to Cincinnati. Boats in those days were loaded three feet deep, and were sixty-five feet long, and he lived to see his son W. H. Gregg load boats six and seven feet deep and 165 feet long, and towed by steamboats.
