I am researching the same McGregor family but I have Christopher's brother Phibbs marrying Jane Arsdell. They had just 1 son and 5 daughters. The son was also named Phibbs born in 1803.

Kim, Yes, thanks for the correction, I got my generations mixed up. Christopher was Phibbs' father. It was Phibbs McGregor who married Jane Arsdell. They are here in the 1821 census : http://www.census.nationalarchives.ie/pages/1821/Fermanagh/Derryvullan/Druma ll/5/ I saw in an earlier post that Jane may have been an Archdale. I haven't been able to find proof of this.
