华莱士堡和区博物馆澄清了一个长期的历史混乱,涉及在早期查塔姆-肯特市的两个名叫约翰·麦克格雷戈尔的人。 The Wallaceburg and District Museum has clarified a long-standing historical mix-up involving two men named John McGregor in early Chatham-Kent. 家谱学家凯西·斯通及其后裔莱斯利·帕利马卡的研究显示，“上尉”约翰·麦格雷戈，一位出生于苏格兰的士兵，曾参加1812年战争并在朗伍兹战役中失去一只手臂，因其服役获得了华莱士堡343公顷的土地。 Research by genealogist Kathy Stone and descendant Leslie Palimaka revealed that the "Captain" John McGregor, a Scottish-born soldier who fought in the War of 1812 and lost an arm at the Battle of Longwoods, received 343 hectares of land in Wallaceburg for his service. 这片土地现为Sydenham和区博物馆的所在地。 This land now houses the Sydenham and District Museum. “商人”John McGregor可能拥有一家磨坊, 将他的名字交给了麦格雷戈尔的溪谷, The "merchant" John McGregor, who may have owned a mill and given his name to McGregor’s Creek, was a different person. 这种混乱持续了几十年,其根源是名称和时间表相似。 The confusion, persistent for decades, stemmed from similar names and timelines.
