McKinnon Family

Surnames: McKINNON - DAFFORN
I'm looking for information on my McKinnon ancestors, specifically Dougal Stuart McKinnon. He was born on the Isle of Mull, Scotland and was a schoolteacher there before he came to Canada. I don't know when he emigrated. One of his sons was Donald Neil Campbell "Cam" McKinnon (b. 1855) who married Ann Elizabeth "Lizzie" Dafforn in 1888. Other children were: Sarah, Ranald, John, Achibald, Katherine Dugalda and May Ellen.

Ranald and John died in childhood. Sara married Tom Brown. Archibald married Sadie Graham. Katherine married Jim Gillis then Angus MacKinnon. May Ellen married F.T. Chapman then Tom Hill.

Dougal lived in Caledonia until about 1855 then moved to Tillsonburg.

The above is taken from my grandmother's notes from her research in teh 1960's so I don't know how accurate it all is. Her notes also included a lot about the Ranald who founded Caledonia, but I don't know how he and Dougal are connected or related. She also mentions a Neil McKinnon, but doesn't know how he is connected.

Cam and Lizzie had one child - Agnes May, born 1891 in Tillsonburg. May was my great-grandmother.

Any help or leads are appreciated.
