Hi,
I found the will of James McDonell, husband of Catherine Grant of Charlottenburgh. The will was recorded on 23 June 1838. Evidently James and Catherine had no children. James left everything to his wife Catherine except the property that he had applied for from the government (on a land petition), which he left to his grand-nephews, John and James McDonell, sons of Angus. After Catherine died, James wanted the property to be divided equally between his grand-nephews James and John McDonell and Catherine's nephews John and Duncan Grant. I'm not sure yet, when the will was probated. Does this family sound familiar to anyone? I'm wondering if this Catherine Grant is the sister of my ancestor, Peter Grant who lived on Lot 10 on the front and his sons John and Duncan Grant.
Thanks so much,
Barb Gressel
