T. A. MacGREGOR, M.D., Hancock County, was born in New Orleans, La.,
December 16, 1840, and is the son of George and Jane (Christian) MacGregor,
both parents natives of Scotland.  His grandfather, Thomas MacGregor, was a
lawyer of considerable ability in Scotland, and died in Edinburgh about
1862 or 1863, at an advanced age.  His maternal grandfather was Thomas
Christian, a native of Ireland.  He was a lawyer by profession, and died in
the city of Dublin, 1857.  George MacGregor was born in Dinwall, Scotland,
about 1809.  He was graduated in law at the University of Edinburgh, and
practiced the legal profession in his native city for several years.  About
1830 he came to America and settled in Nashville, Tenn., where he engaged
in merchandising for ten years, at the end of which time, 1840, he moved to
New Orleans, where his death occurred in 1860.  The subject of this sketch
has had quite an eventful life, a mere outline of which is only attempted
in this brief sketch.  The first four years of his life were spent in his
native State, after which he was sent to Nashville where for eight years he
attended the schools of that city.  He next went to Louisville, Ky., where
he attended a boarding school for about four years, making rapid progress
in his studies in the meantime, so at the age of sixteen he had a very
liberal education.  In 1856 he went to Europe, and for four years attended
school at Vevay, Switzerland, and Paris, France, where he acquired a
thorough knowledge of the German and French languages.  He returned to
America in 1859, and began the study of medicine in New Orleans, attending
one course of lectures in the Louisiana University, and attended two full
courses, then graduating in the class of 1861-62.  After graduating, Dr.
MacGregor commenced the practice of his profession in the city of
Louisville, where he remained until 1874, at which time he moved to Kansas
and located at Leavenworth, in the drug business, which he carried on in
connection with his practice for one year.  In 1875 he returned to
Kentucky, settling at Hawesville, where he has since resided.  Shortly
after locating at that point, he retired from the active practice of his
profession, and formed a copartnership with Z. H. Shelley in the milling
business, which he still carries on.  Dr. MacGregor was married January,
1871, to Miss Judelle Trabue, of Frankfort, Ky.  They have a family of two
children, viz.: Chasteen and Matilde, both living.  Dr. and Mrs. MacGregor
are members of the Episcopal Church, belonging to a congregation in
Louisville.
