Gregory Per History of the Presbyterian Church of Oneida, New York, published by the church June 13, 1894, this was Caspar R. Gregory who "came from Philadelphia. This is a quote from that book: " On the 21st day of May, 1851, the session resolved, That we invite the Rev. Caspar R. Gregory, who is a member of the presbytery of Philadelphia, having engaged to supply our pulpit for one year, to act as our moderator during his stay among us. Early in 1852 Rev. Mr. Gregory was unanimously chosen the pastor of this church, at a salary of five hundred dollars." Again quoted: "Dr. Gregory's relation with us was dissolved in March, 1864, that he might accept a call from the First Presbyterian Church at Bridgeton, N. J. The following is from a sermon of Dr. Jessup's delivered July 2, 1876: " Dr. Gregory was therefore pastor of this church for thirteen years, nearly twice as long as his predecessor, the honored and beloved first pastor, and more than three times as long as either of his successors. It is not too much to say, therefore, that more than any other he has made his mark upon the church. He ministered in times of agitation, when almost every church in the land was more or less disturbed, and doubtless this church did not escape. But throughout his pastorate the church grew steadily in numbers and influence, and not a few of those among us hold in grateful remembrance his pastoral fidelity and watchfulness." More: "From Bridgeton, N. J., Dr. Gregory was called to a professorship in Lincoln University at Oxford, Pa., where he remained until his death, which occurred February 26, 1882. He was fifty-eight years of age. His last visit to Oneida was in November, 1879" His wife was named Mary L. and a son William H. Gregory with no other details. Dianne
