Surnames: Pagan
I am seeking information regarding the following PAGAN families.

a) John Pagan (ca 1802) & Margaret Carruthers (ca 1807) who worked the Brackenside (Breconside) Farm in Moffat. They and their family emigrated to New Zealand approx 1860 to Otago and settled in the Clutha region. They were preceded in 1857/8 by their son-in-law William Dalgliesh (Dalgleish) (ex Eskdalemuir parish) who had married one of their daughters.

b) Archibald Pagan (ca 1790) & Margaret Blacklock (ca 1800) who lived at Holmend, Moffat. One of their daughters, Mary, married James Beattie Dalgleish, a brother to the William mentioned above, and they emigrated to NZ about 1860. James and Mary headed into the Waitaki River valley of northern Otago, north of Oamaru. It is believed that one of Mary's brothers, Archibald, travelled with them or independently about the same time, and he is believed to have married a Jane Robertson and settled in Otago's Shag Valley. It is speculated that another brother (possibly a cousin), Thomas, arrived in NZ 1858, married a Caroline Beal, and may have for a time worked in the Waikouaiti District before moving north to the Waitaki River valley if not Oamaru itself.

c) William Pagan (ca 1800) & Mary Marchbank (ca 1798) who worked the Oakridge (Aikrig) Farm in Moffat not far from the above Brackenside Farm. Also William's brother Thomas Pagan (ca 1794) & his wife Ann Johnstone (ca 1798) who raised their family on the same farm, before they retired to live in Holmend, same parish.

d) John Pagan (ca 1795-1799) & (1) Mary Hamilton (ca 1798) & (2) Elizabeth McCulloch (ca 1814) of Wamphray. Seeking information particularly on John's roots.

e) Does anyone have a William Pagan (or Paggon) (say 1758, of Moffat?) & Betty Ferguson (or Elizebeth Ferguison) (b 1763 Eskdalemuir) in their tree?

f) Does anyone know of a John Pagan & Elizabeth Dalgliesh (Dalgleish) marriage/family vicinity 1850? Possibly Hoddam Parish?

Thanks

My GGfather was William Pagan born in 1923 in Moffet, who I beleive was the son of Archibald Pagan and Margaret Blacklock. He came to Canada and settled on 100 Acres near Lanes, Ashfield Twp, Huron Co, Ontario. He married Jane McMillan about 1866 and had one daughter Margaret Jane who married Rueben Spindler. I have all the family from William and Jane down to present time.

I just read my email and have realized that I have made an error. I posted that William was born in 1923, I should have written 1823.
I have a census record from the 1861 Canada West census for the Township of Ashfield, County of Huron, showing William Pagan as 37 and Jane Pagan as 30. Margaret Jane Pagan their only daughter was born 21 Aug 1868. She is my greatgrandmother, and I have a 4 generation picture with her holding me shortly after I was born in 1952. Mary

Hi! Re (e) below, we have that William Pagan and Betty Ferguson in our tree. Their daughter, Mary Pagan (1789-1829) was my GGGrandmother. My sister and I have recently discovered this and I found your post through Google. I don't know if you will get this reply, but if so, we may be able to add a little piece to the jigsaw.

Am quite excited because I've just seen, bmair, that you have logged in today - 2004/6 seemed a long time ago and I thought you might have disappeared!
Re (e) of your enquiry below, we have tracked William Pagan and Betty Ferguison back a generation and have a note of all their children, our ancestor, Mary being one of them. Looking at (c) in your enquiry, the William and Thomas Pagan, (1799 and 1794) are Mary's brothers, and she also had a brother John (December 1801) - could he be the John you mention in (a)?
I haven't had time yet to look for other links, or links to the other enquiries in the chain, but I'm sure you will have filled in loads of blanks since your post.

actually I haven't been able to fill in much of any thing except from Adam pagan here in yellow grass. I was married to larry so that part was easy. but scotland is so hard to get information from. so I was hoping to connect with the line and pick their brains.
