Sarah Gregory (b. Barrett) (1832-1907) was born in Harpers Ferry, Virginia, now West Virginia, and died in Nevinville, Iowa. Her Quaker parents relocated their family to Peoria County, Illinois, in 1834. There she met Francis Gregory, a farmer, whom she married in 1849. They settled in Whitefield, Illinois, and had eight children. Francis died in 1874, and in 1891 Gregory married Francis's younger brother, John Gregory, a tanner, in Valparaiso, Indiana. John died less than a year later. By 1900 Gregory had moved to Center, Indiana, before finally settling in Nevinville. In 1885 Gregory wrote to Mary Baker Eddy to order a copy of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures and a pamphlet.
