Francis Gregor, son and heir of John Gregor and Elizabeth Moyle,
married a daughter of William Harris of Pickwell in Devonshire; and
their son Francis Gregor, born in 1728, left two sons, Francis Gregor,
sheriff of Cornwall in 1788, and member for the county from 1790 to
1806, and the Rev. William Gregor. Mr. Francis Gregor first married
the eldest daughter of Mr. William Masterman, of Restormal, who had
married a Cornish lady, and made a large fortune by the practice of
the law, as a solicitor in London, and afterwards represented Bodmin
in Parliament. Mr. Gregor married secondly Miss Urchuarth from
Scotland, but died in 1815 without any family; and his brother, the
Rev. William Gregor, survived but a few years, leaving an only
daughter, who died at the age of three or four-and-twenty, and with
her the name of Gregor became extinct.
But Mr. Masterman had a second daughter, married to Mr. Francis
Glanville Catchfrench, who also left an only daughter. To this lady
Miss Gregor gave the whole of her property, with an injunction to take
her name. Miss Granville is married and has several children, having
made Trewarthenick her residence, and improved the fine new house
mentioned by Mr. Tonkin into one of the largest and most decorated
mansions to be seen in Cornwall.
