Gregory, Henry. A native of England, born March 21, 1835. He emigrated with his
father (his mother being dead) to America, and located in Michigan in the fall
of 1849, with his brother John, who had emigrated some time previous. His
father, however, took up his residence in Canada. The subject of this sketch
spent the most of his time from his arrival in Michigan up to 1855, in steam
boating. In '55 he and his father emigrated to California via Nicaragua, and
arrived at San Francisco on November 30. He immediately proceeded to "Show
Flat," and followed mining about five years; thence to San Francisco, and
followed water business one year, and in the fall of 1860 he became a resident
of this county, locating on his present estate, comprising two hundred and sixty
acres of land located in Vallejo township, six miles from Petaluma. Since
August, 1879, has resided in the city of Petaluma, having leased his farm. Mr.
Gregory married June 14, 1863, Miss Annie E. Wilson, a native of New York City,
born November 12, 1834. By this union they have three children living; Martha
M., Nettie F., and Lulu A. Have lost one.
