David McGregore

His father, James McGregore, led his family and congregation of Scotch-Irish immigrants to America on five ships in 1718 and settled in a part of New Hampshire called Nutfield, which covers the modern towns of Derry, Londonderry, and Windham.

David McGregor's sermons were very much ahead of his time and sheds light on the religious sentiments of colonial New England.

Around 1750, a wealthy resident of Portsmouth named Jotham Odiorne received two letters demanding 500 pounds to be left at the western end of the long bridge between Kingston and Chester.

After the money was placed, a reputable citizen of Londonderry, Captain John Mitchell, happened along and dismounted his horse nearby.

MacGregor had no knowledge of court proceedings, he managed to defend Captain Mitchell elegantly and presented a strong argument.

[6] "Trial of the Spirits" is a sermon about a controversy involving the Reverend John Wesley and letters from George Whitefield in August 1740.

Memento mori Etsi mors indies accelerat tamen Virtus post Funera vivet Here lies the dust of him who did proclaim Salvation to lost souls in Jesus’ Name His Master dated to give the great reward To those who here flock of Christ regard The Rev Mr. David MacGregore Son of The Rev.

Today, McGregor Street parallels the river on the west side along the old Amoskeag Mill building.

David's father, James McGregor, is thought to be a first cousin of the famous Robert Roy MacGregor.
