Re: Daniel and Jennette McArthur of Islay
Hi there
I show a 5.1cM link to you, and all my Mother's family come from Islay so chances are that is where the match comes from. I've got McArthur ancestors, but Islay records are thin on the ground before 1800 which means it's hard to get back to show a connection. (Are you Robert, by the way?) regards Seymour

Re: Surname interests
Hi Julie, We have Lang/Laing and Robertson, Dougal, Walker all connected to each other, but for the Redding, Wallacestone, area of Polmont , Stirklingshire. One of ours David Laing, with his wife Isobel//Isabella Hay and some of his family emigrated to New Zealand in the 1860's from Scotland. We havent found any Laing matches in our DNA on ancestry as yet other than one David Laing who doesnt reply. I think he maybe has same problem as for our McArthurs and cannot match anyone. NO with the name McArthur at least. with our McArthur we do have matches with familytreedna but not the Mcarthu rname, so wondering if that is his problem as well.. We have Laing back to a William Laing/Land, Seaman no birth and nomarriage, but had three children with Elizabeth Dougal in 1804, David, William and Thomas Livingston Laing, the last born 1814. Not much help to you but, thought I would let you know we do have some Laing/Laing, it was my late mother in laws maiden name. Her gret grandparents were James Robertson Laing and Jean/Jane Bennie of Polmont Stirling,Scotland they arrived in Tasmania 1857. regards Edie McArthur

Daniel and Jennette McArthur of Islay
Robert McArthur
I’d like to hear from anyone with knowledge about my great-great-great grandparents Daniel and Jennette McArthur, who emigrated from Scotland to North Carolina in America in the 1770s. They claimed to have come from Islay. Although there is abundant information about their descendants, I know nothing of their background, and to date I have not identified any of their Scottish ancestry. A few years ago Roger McWee told me he had found some data on Daniel, but no information linking him to any farm or town. I frequently receive Family Tree notifications of y-dna matches, including some strong Nordic, Isle of Mull, and Scottish mainland matches, but so far nothing with a definite link to Islay, and nothing identifying a common direct ancestor. I have seen trees indicating that Daniel’s parents were named John McArthur and Jean Hair, but no supporting evidence of that. Family Finder has been useful in helping me find some relatives, mainly distant cousins here in America. I have uploaded my dna information to Gedmatch (kit T894735) and am in process of deciphering the match information in that database (looks like a long learning curve).

Surname interests
Hi All, my surnames are Potter, Crow, Lang /Laing and Wilson mainly from around West Lothian ( Uphall, Livingstone, Whitburn, Bathgate) My 2x great grandfather married Marion Laing and their son James married Elizabeth Robertson Crow. They emigrated to New Zealand with four children in 1902. James had been an overseer & Joiner at Calder House in Mid Calder. I am not sure why they came here but maybe for a better life.
Regards Julie

Re: Charles Campbell 1787?
Hi, I cannot really help you but wonder if he may have been the William Campbell who fathered an illegitmate daughter born at Cambuslang in 1850. Her mother was Isabella Stevenson, who was born at Cambuslang, Lanarkshire. the daughter was Christina Stevenson Campbell. I have no idea where William Campbell was born. The name Christina may have come from Isabellas mother Christina though. Isabella left Lanrakshire and worked in Renfrewshire till she came to Tasmania wihtout her daughter who lived to the age of 28 after giving birth to four children. She married Robert Black of Campsie, Stirlingshire. We only found out about her two years ago when someone was curius who she was and did a bit of sleuthing. Edie Mc

Re: Clan MacDougall
J LOCHRIDGE
Interested in your Alexander Campbell who left Islay in 1774. My ancestor Alexander Campbell born Killarrow Islay in 1771 didn't leave Islay but it would be good to know if we share DNA? I have my results on Ancestry and on Gedmatch. Sorry I can't help with the Clan question, except that the name McDougall was also McLugash in Islay sometimes. Regards Johan

The one other piece of information about him came from his granddaughter, who was my great-grandmother, Jennie Campbell Jones. According to my great-grandmother, Alexander's family was tied to Clan MacDougall. I'd be intertested in learning more about possible ties between Islay and Clan MacDougall.

Re: Newcastle/Gateshead (io.groups)
Not sure if there’s a Newcastle/Gateshead one, but there’s certainly one for Northumbria at io.groups. If you go to your io.groups home page (via the subscription link below I expect), you can search for groups of interest. I’ve found most of the old groups I use seem to have migrated to io.groups by now and functionality is good. None for Argyll, but then there’s this one and various Argyll facebook pages that work well for me.
Apologies for the delay in replying; responding to the daily digest.

Charles Campbell 1787?
extonview@...
I seem to have hit a wall when it comes to ancestors in Islay. My grandfather was Alexander Campbell b.1872, illegitimate. His mother was Janet Campbell and his father was down as Alexander McDonald. Janets father was William Campbell b 1824, from Kilmeny on Islay. His father appears to be Charles Campbell and his mother Christina Campbell (Campbell), both late 1700's. I can find no info on either of them so if anyone has come across them or any suggestions etc. would really appreciate it.
