McGregor Family Sawmilling Legacy in Heywood Area
The McGregor family, long tied to the sawmilling era in Heywood, is noted for pioneering the trade in the district. William McGregor remains on the original mill site as steam power replaced water, with the business later expanding under Alex and James McGregor and after the elder generation, while Mrs Bruce and Mr Robert McGrregor are mentioned among descendants. The piece recalls regional drought, soil changes, and community ties, including connections to Cape Colony and New York ventures.
