My McNabbs were also on Ballychatrigin
from before 1800 to about 1852. I can not match any of the persons you
list below, although there are some in my data without enough evidence to rule
in/out.
Some of mine also went on from Ontario to Chicago.

Roll Call ?
Hi Diane: Thank you for all your work with the group! I have wonderful
memories of our get togethers in Ontario and Islay. My gr-grandfather, John McNabb was born on Islay in 1842. He immigrated to Ontario before 1865. His sister, Martha
married Archibald Currie in Glasgow
in 1866. (Arch was also from Islay.) Their
daughter, Kate, was born in January 1867 and supposedly learned to walk on the
ship to Ontario
about 1869. A "cousin" just helped me locate their brother, Colin,
who also eventually ended up in Ontario
with their parents, John and Cathrine. Before living in Port Ellen, John and
Cathrine lived in Ballychatrigan and Lyrabus. I believe John's parents were
Alexander McNabb and Martha Campbell. Not sure about Cathrine.
John's and Martha's families both ended up in Chicago and many members
are buried there. Colin and the parents died in Ontario. This is John and his wife Margaret
Galloway (born in Ontario).
I assume this is their son, John, although they had a daughter, Martha,
first.
