LMcPherson1827 — 4 Jul 2001 4:37:08 GMT

My 4th. Great Grandparents were: Malcolm McPherson(1734-1817) and his wife Christian Downie(1744- ? ). They came to America - N. Carolina in 1774 with their 2 children, William(1765-1825)& Janet(1764- ? ). The ships manifest stated they came from Glenurcha, Scotland which is probably called now Glen Orchy, located a few miles east of Oban. I have not been able to get a hint of their Scotland families and would be grateful for any information. I should be satisfied but am always trying. 7 more children were born to this couple in America after the Revolutionary War but I am descended from their 2nd. child, William. Thanks in advance.

Loudoun / Loudon Genealogy

sug53 — 18 May 2008 5:16:53 GMT

Hello - I am researching my Loudon family history and am trying to connect my American Loudon's to my Ireland and/or Scotland Loudon's. A big task, I know :-)

My basic line goes like this: My 2nd great grandfather was William Loudon, son of John and Lovina Leigh Loudon. John was born in Ireland abt 1798 and came to the US with his parents about 1800 and settled in New York and then moved to Indiana where he settled. John's parents were Joseph and Jane McConnelle Loudon - both born in Londonderry, Ireland. Joseph's father was John Loudon, born 1740 also in Londonderry, Ireland and his mother was Ann - no surname. This is where documented information stops. However, I've recently found the following information that I'm hoping to confirm:

John's parents may have been John Loudon and Jean Campbell. John's parents may have been Nicholas Loaden and Elizabeth Morton. Nicholas' father may have been James Loaden from Fife, Scotland and his parents may have been James Lothian and Margaret Cunningham.

I've been told we are probably related to the Campbell Clan from the Castle Loudoun.

Any help with this line or suggestions on research would be most appreciated!

Many thanks,

Sue Manz Graham sug53@earthlink.net

David Stewart Galbraith of Machrihanish & Drumore House

debs91 — 4 Apr 2008 3:32:46 GMT

I'm looking for a death date and place for David Stewart/Steuart Galbraith and his wife Elizabeth Fraser.

David's birthdate is 9 Oct 1782 (Killean Parish, Kyntyre, Argyll, Scotland) according to Bourke's Landed Gentry 1847, and I have found online references to David being the Tacksman of Machrihanish and Drumore House. There is mention of his land being "sequestered" in 1852, and I'd like to know what that means exactly, if someone could help?

Elizabeth's birth year was 1797, and she was the only daughter of James Fraser. She had about fourteen children, with three younger sons leaving for Australia in 1853, including Alfred Stewart Galbraith, the g-grandfather of a friend here in Australia.

Can anyone help with their death dates and places, or any other information about them please?

population movement in mid argyll in mid 1700s

rod macduff — 6 Sep 2004 12:21:16 GMT

I have a query regarding population movement in the parishes of Inveraray, Klchrenan and Dalavich and Campbeltown in the mid 1700s.
I have an ancestor Alexander McDuff who appears in Klchrenan in 1778, partner of Betty Agnes McLachlan who gave birth to son Daniel that year.
I can find no reference to Alexander in OPRs prior to that date.
He may have originally been a McDuffie or McPhee from Colonsay or possibly any other part of the McPhee areas (Bute).
Alternatively he may have been a McDuff in which case his people would have come from Perthshire or Fife.
The breaking up of the Clans, the Kintyre Plantation, the 1745 rebellion, the clearances, the Crinan Canal and the start of industrialisation had significant effects on this area.
McPhees were and still are wandering tinsmiths (tinkers).

Has anyone else traced ancestors to this area and had any success in pushing further back?
The OPRs seem to run out of steam prior to 1750 in many parishes and it seems that many marriages were not registered.

McMillan/MacMillan Family of Argyll

gshaslam — 20 Mar 2008 6:22:05 GMT

Seeking information and descendants of Duncan and Mary (Todd) McMillan of Argyll. Duncan born about 1802/1806 Polaich, Kilmallie, died possibly 1871-1876; wife Mary Todd, born about 1809/1811 Craignish, Argyll; they are believed to have wed July 20, 1833 in Kilmallie, Argyll. Mary's parents believed to have been Elizabeth and Robert Todd of Argyll. Duncan had a niece named Jean McMillan born 1851 in Glasgow. The children of Duncan and Mary are believed to have been: Sarah, born abt 1835; Ann, born abt 1837/38; John, born abt 1838/39; Robert, born abt 1840/41/42; Janet, born abt 1843; Mary, born abt 1843/44; Angus, born abt 1845; Elizabeth, born abt 1846; Ewen Hugh, born abt 1848/49; Betsy (could be Eliz. above) born abt 1848; James, born abt 1852; Catherine, born abt 1854. The middle names for James and Katherine are believed to have been Todd, their mother's maiden name.
Ewen Hugh, James, and Katherine immigrated to Canada abt 1893 accompanied by the children of Ewen Hugh McMillan (late wife Alice Jepson 1886), the children were Mary Alice, Duncan Thomas, and Nancy Ann McMillan. All eventually lived and died in British Columbia. Passenger records have not been found, but it is believed they came over on the HHS The Boiler, May 1, 1893.
Researching this ancestral line is proving very difficult, and info or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, so I am new at this. I have been researching a branch of my family and have traced it back to the Argyll Campbell's of Scotland. I keep getting messed up in the 1700's, and need help on where to go from here. I have a Robert Campbell who was a sea captain in Scotland , and he went b/t Scotland and Charleston/Savannah in the late 1700's or maybe early 1800's. I want to find out more about him. Does anyone know where on the net I can look up information in Scotland about him? I can trace him from America on, but I can't find birth dates and such. I have all of his descendants and several predecessors, but I am STUCK on him!! Thanks for any help, and sorry if I was confusing in my questions. My mind feels a little overwhelmed.

Donald and/or Angus McLellan of Kilchoman area

Steve MacLellan — 7 Jun 2004 1:30:46 GMT

My great-grandfather was Angus McLellan, who emigrated from Scotland around 1848 to settle in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. In the 1881 Canadian Census, he is listed with wife Ann, and a Donald McLellan is listed as Head of Household. Donald is 60, Angus is 40. Donald is listed as a widower. Surely he must be Angus' father. In Scotland, the only case I can find of a Donald McLellan with son Angus, (and the wife is not mentioned, which is certainly giving it credibility), is in Kilchoman, Argyll, Scotland.
Anyone with any information on this would help me make the connection between the New and Old world. Thanks in advance.

kirstennelson_1 — 12 Feb 2008 1:05:41 GMT

Hi all;

I'm researching William Mitchell and Margaret McMillan, both born supposedly around 1803 in Scotland. Their son Donald was born in the Saddell/Skipness region in 1829.

Donald married Margaret McKinley, born also in 1829, but in Campbeltown. Her parents were supposedly Neill McKinley and Barbara McGill, both born about 1804. I'm looking for information on any of these six Argyll relatives of mine!

Mac/McKendrick

John Hughes — 6 Dec 2000 12:00:00 GMT

I'm searching for information on origins of Lauchlin MacKendrick (abt 1740 - 1817), who was married to Rachel Galbraith (1736 - 1838) in about 1760, possibly in Campbeltown. They both born in Argyllshire, possibly in or near Campbeltown, and emigrated to North America in 1770 on the ship Annabella. At least three children sailed with them, and legend has it that one child (Neil) was left behind. The otehr children were Donald, Janet, and Malcolm. Four more children were born in Prince Edward Island, Canada. The captain of the Annabella was Dugald Stewart of Campbeltown. The settlers may have been heading for the Carolinas, but landed up in PEI, either by accident or design. There are good records of the family in PEI, but no one seems able to find anything about their origins in Scotland. Any help would be much appreciated.

She married John MacDonald, also of Balinoe, on 11/1/1843. They had one child, a daughter, Catherine (my great-grandmother), born 7/3/1844.

Ann McLachlan

slmckibbin91 — 4 Jan 2008 6:49:57 GMT

Hello,

I am desperate for any information available for the above person. I have attempted to research Ann for a while but with no luck. Ann died in South Australia, but was married to Dugald McKinnon on 25 May 1851, Kilmallie, Argyll before emigrating to South Australia. On her death record (1902), it lists her age as 71 which means she would have been born cir. 1830/1. Most frustrating about her is that there could be several options for her on the 1851 Scotland Census. She should be there somewhere. Also worth mentioning is that two of her children, born in SA, had peculiar middle names which may be her mother's maiden name these are: Mcdougall and Thompson. If anyone can provide me or has some information on Ann, I would really appreciate it. Thank you.

Looking forward to hearing some replies,

Sarah

Anderson - John

Kath_Murray — 1 Jan 2008 4:42:49 GMT

Hello
I'm trying to trace my Gr Grandfathers family. He was John Anderson b 1883c.

I found that there was a John b 1854 ( my gr grandfather's dad was also called John)... this John was the son of William & Rachel and was born in the Parish of Kilbrandon in the village of ellenabeich at Engineers House.

He would be about the right age to have been my gr gr grandfather.

My Gr Grandfather was in the Gordon Highlanders & was reported ' Missing In Action' after the first battle of the Somme.

On my Gr Grandparents marriage certificate it says John (father) was a stone mason. I presume they came to Kendal (Westmoeland, England) to build the Carnegie library. As apparently my gr gr grandfather left his sign in the red sansstone.

My Gr Grandfather married Margaret ( Maggie ) Bainbridge-Halliwell on Christmas Eve 1906.

They had 2 children.

If anyone can tell me if this John is the same one as I am in search of I would be VERY grateful.

I have very little to go on I'm afraid...

>Hi there,

I am very interested in the information above so I will tell you a little of
what I know .

My name is Penuel Elaine Ellis-Brown nee SMITH.My father was John Henderson
SMITH the 3rd son of
Angus Peter William SMITH. My great grandparents were Neil SMITH and Jean
MCPHAIL who were married
in Greenock Middle Parish on the 6 Dec 1872. Neil was a ship's carpenter.
Neil's parents were Angus SMITH and Margaret ORR who were married in
Ardrishaig in 1804.
Jean's parents were Duncan MCPHAIL and Sarah DEWAR who married in 1825 in
Glassary Parish.
The children of Duncan and Sarah MCPHAIL were:

Mary b.1826
John b.1828
Archibald b.1831
Sarah b.1836
Janet b.1842
Jean b.1845 * my great grandmother
Isabella (Betsy) b.?

I can track the SMITH line back to a William SMITH born circa 1746 in
Kilmartin. According to my
second cousin, Miss Miread SMITH ,the original SMITH was a Roderick-but I have
yet to substantiate that fact.

I am at present trying to find out who the parents of Duncan MCPHAIL and Sarah
DEWAR were. I was told the MCPHAILS originally came from Kames, Lochgair and
then lived at Silvercraigs, Lochgilphead.I remember visiting a distant
Aunt? called Sarah MCTavish who lived at Castleton Cottage in Lochgilphead
when I was in my early teens about
30+ years ago. She had a sister and brother-I think they were Jock and Janet.

If you would be so kind to pass on the information to the McPhails that you
know I should be very grateful and
if there are any SMITHs out there connected to my line, I should love to hear
from them too.

annette smith — 21 Mar 2001 12:00:00 GMT

Hello Wayne,
I have just subscribed to this List (after many failed attempts) and am interested in your message of Feb. 18th re Colin Sinclair.
I am trying to locate a Colin Sinclair who was at the Battle of Corunna in 1809. He was a brother of my great great grandfather, Archibald Sinclair who was in the 79th Cameron Highlanders at Corunna. There was another brother, Donald. The three of them were together the night before the battle. There is a Donald Sinclair listed with the 98th Regiment, A&SH in 1794, but I have no record at all of Colin. He would have been in another regiment.
It is a long shot that your Colin and mine may be the same person, but possible.
Archibald was born in Oban on 5/1/1775, and is buried in the Kilmelford cemetery, near Oban, having died in August 1837. His parents are unknown to me.
Do you have any data concerning the emigration of David and Jane to Australia? The offspring of Archibald came to Adelaide in 1839.
Cheers,
John McIntyre,
Australia.

We would love to learn more about any Argyllshire Sinclairs - we have traced one side of our family back to Papa Stour, Shetland Islands - but we have another side (Sinclairs married Sinclairs) that appears to be local - at least for a longer time. Any idea what brought the Sinclairs to Argyllshire??
