	DANIEL W. GREGORY, a worthy citizen of Clarke county, was born in Delaware
county, New York, May 6, 1827, a son of Hiram and Phebe (Raynolds) Gregory, also
natives of the Empire State, tracing their lineage on this continent to the
early part of the seventeenth century. The grandfather, Daniel Gregory, was one
of the early settlers of Delaware county, and well and favorably known. Some of
his descendants were soldiers in the war of 1812. Hiram Gregory, the father of
Daniel was a line officer during that entire war. Mrs. Gregory, the wife of our
subject, is also a native of New York State. Her mother, Mrs. Williams, was a
descendant of Jonathan Lakin, of Revolutionary fame.
	Mr. Gregory, whose name initiates this sketch, moved from New York to
Jackson county, Wisconsin, where he resided twenty-nine years. His chief
occupation has been agriculture, although many years of his early life passed in
the lumber business on the Delaware river, rafting in manufactured lumber down
that stream.
	In 1883 he emigrated to the Pacific coast, locating in Clarke county,
Washington. He now resides about thirty-five miles northeast of Vancouver, where
he has a farm of eighty acres, twenty-five acres of which are devoted to general
farming and gardening, and twenty-five being still in timber. There is also a
fine orchard. Mr. Gregory conducts a small dairy in addition to his other work.
The residence, on a natural building site, is surrounded with beautiful
flowering plants, neatly arranged about the lawn, displaying the good taste of
Mrs. Gregory. Mr. and Mrs. Gregory were united in marriage in New York State,
July 4, 1848. The names of their children are: Charles L., Hiram I., John W.,
Harry and Mary A., now the wife of Frederick Spencer, a resident of Clarke
county.
