My grandmother was Jeanie Reid descendant of John Reid who settled near Ormstown, Quebec in 1847. To the best of my knowledge, this family were the only Reids to settle in this area. I was born only 8 miles from the homestead and only 1 mile from the home of 2 of the sons. Please e-mail me with more info and will share. I have a full family tree up to 1966, when my father passed away. I still live close to the area and know a large number of people there.

My Reid ancestors settled near Ormstown Quebec in 1847 and to my knowledge this was and is the only family of Reids in that area. The latest Reid to live on the original homestead was Howard Reid. Please get in touch with me with more details.

Hi Marjorie, I can trace my Kerr line back to William Kerr (b. 1801) married to Mary Craig (b. 1801) who came to Canada in 1827. They were from Kilbirnie and Dalry, Ayr, Scotland and settled in English River, now Riverfield, Quebec south of Montreal. I was born and raised in this area and I have a fairly good record of the family from that time on down. The Kerr-Reid connection was through Albert Kerr who married Jeanie Reid, who were my grandparents. Drop me a line direct at donaldk33@hotmail.com or donald.kerr@3web.net if you feel that we could have something. I am presently working on the Reid families, those that settled in Ormstown, Quebec and those who settled in Renfrew area in Ontario.
Best regards, Donald
