Re: Place name
Thanks Donald. It is interesting to see the many "cousins" one gets after so many generations. Glynn Sent from my Galaxy

I am a descendant of Hugh Cameron who married a Nancy McNabb on Islay in
1826. That’s all I have with a McNabb.
Thank you for posting.

Ken,
Merry Christmas.
My paternal grandmother is descended fro two McNabb families who came from
Islay and settled in Simcoe Ontario some time around 1830. I have not been able
to connect them to a family in Islay. Andrew McNabb, b.1777, his wife Catherine
Matheson, b. 1879, children: Findlay McNabb, 1813, Duncan McNabb b. 1810, James
McNabb b.c. 1815. Would you have a connection?

It was indeed a farm, in the south of the island, and where several
generations of my ancestry lived, from at least the late 1700s to mid
1800s. They were tenant farmers and there were several families living and
working on the farm at any given time. Mine left for Canada in mid 1800s,
while cousins stayed on Islay to the present time.
My lot were mainly McNabb (various spellings) and McVoran (various
spellings, and anglicized in the early 1800s by some family groups to
Morrison). At least one branch in Ontario married a Young (perhaps
yours). I don’t have my data open right now, and seem to be a bit tied up
with another event, but would be interested in pursuing this with you
later.
Merry Christmas and a Vaccinated New Year!
