Biographical history
John Gregory was born in 1751 in England and died in 1817 in Montreal. In 1773, he moved to North America, and formed a partnership with fur trader James Finlay, who had considerable experience in the field. On February 22, 1778, Gregory married Isabella Ferguson in Montreal, and they had several children. Little is known of his life as a fur trader, but he did spend some time on the Sturgeon River (Saskatchewan). In 1790, he was named one of the representatives of the North West Company at their annual meeting in Grand Portage, where the wintering partners exchanged their furs for trade goods. Gregory was elected into the Beaver Club in Montreal in 1791.
