Biography
Ruth Ann McGregor is a d/o Alexander McGregor, Jr. and Mary Aldstadt.
Find a Grave has Ruth Ann McGregor's birth date as November 6, 1816, and her death date as March 10, 1899. From her newspaper obit, published March 15, 1899, her death date probably is in fact March 10, 1899. However, Find a Grave shows that Ruth Ann McGregor's age was 82y4m7d, which I believe is on her headstone, although from the photograph it cannot be seen. But using her age, and using her death date of March 10, 1899, her birth date comes out to be November 3, 1899.
