'''John Robert Gregg''' (b. [[June 17]], [[1867]], Rockcorry, Co. [[County Monaghan|Monaghan]], [[Ireland]] – d. [[February 23]], [[1948]], Cannondale) is the creator of the eponymous [[shorthand]] system [[Gregg Shorthand]].
== Biography ==
Gregg introduced his shorthand system in [[1888]] in a brochure entitled ''Light-Line Phonography'' which he published at [[Liverpool]] in [[England]].
In [[1893]], he emigrated to the United States, where he published in the same year ''Gregg Shorthand''. The method met with great success in the new country, and Gregg settled in [[Chicago]] where he authored numerous books for the Gregg Publishing Company on the subject of shorthand and contemporary business practices.
