Posted on: Fairfield Co. Ct Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ct/Fairfield/3212 Surname: GREGORY, WHEELER, SORENSON ------------------------- We are interested in finding some information on a factory named Wheeler and Nelson Factory in or near Bridgeport. In a letter dated June 6, 1876 from Arthur GREGORY of Bridgeport, Conn, to his nephew, Arthur SORENSON in Wyoming Territory, Arthur Gregory mentions that the factory where he worked had recently burned down. He says that Mr. Wheeler "was despondent". What type of factory was the Wheeler & Nelson Factory? When did the fire actually occur? We are also interested in finding more data on Arthur Gregory (born Sheffield, England) if that should show up...We know that Arthur Gregory comes from a family of tailors and dressmakers as well as family involved in the cutlery business in England. We are curious if Wheeler & Nelson was involved in either textiles or cutlery/metal works. We would appreciate anything you may be able to tell us.
