EBENEZER GREGG was the youngest son of Ebenezer and Betsey Gregg, of Dorchester, New Hampshire, and was born Apr. 5, 1803.  He was of Scotch parentage, his ancestors having belonged to the noted Presbyterian colony who settled Londonderry, New Hampshire.  His grandfather bore a distinguished part in the revolutionary war.  He was colonel under General Stark, at the memorable battle of Bennington, and was present when the general, in rallying his troops, addressed to him the words so aptly given by the poet:
"We'll beat the British ere set of sun,
Or Molly Stark is a widow - it was done."
     Mr. Gregg has inherited in a marked degree the peculiarities of his Scotch ancestors, having a vigorous constitution, great physical endurance, perseverance and energy of character.  He was married Sept. 24, 1830, to Mary W. Danforth, of Derry, New Hampshire.  They emigrated to Ohio in 1835, in company with his brother, the late Colonel William Gregg, and settled on a farm two miles north of the village of Elyria.  In 1842, he purchased a farm in the then township of Sheffield, and resided there for several years; but for the purpose of educating his children, he removed to Elyria in 1857.  Here he and his wife united with the Methodist church, and here, in August 11, 1871, after a residence of fourteen years, his wife closed her earthly labors.
     They had eight children, three of whom died in infancy.  His second son, Arthur Livermore, died in Sheffield, Feb. 28, 1873, aged thirty-one years.  There are now living, two sons and two daughters, all of whom are married.  His three sons, Simeon, Arthur, and Luther, served as brave and faithful soldiers in the war of the rebellion, were honorably discharged, and safely returned home at the close of the war.  Dec. 30, 1872, Mr. Gregg was married to Adaline W. Danforth, of Adrian, Michigan.  AT this time he sold his property in Elyria, and removed to his farm for a permanent residence.  Although he is now seventy-six years old, he has wonderful health and vigor, and still leads an active, useful life.  He is a member of the Methodist church in Lorain and is warmly identified with the interests of the growing town around him, cheerfully contributing his share to its growth and prosperity.  He is strictly temperate in his habits, and is an enemy alike to liquor and tobacco, seldom neglecting to "show his colors" `when occasion offers.
