Pearl, could you write to me please about the McCaig's? I am researching the family of Donald McCaig, brother to Janet and James.
One of his grandsons Duncan Campbell McCaig born in 1862 married Rhoda Rebekah McLean in 1889 in Manitoba. She was the daughter of John McLean born 1815 in Glenalmond, Perthshire, Scotland, and his wife Rhoda Rebekah Black born 1826 in New Brunswick.
Where does "Campbell" come from in Duncan's name?
I am interested in finding out more about the McCaig's because they are connected to the McLean's, and I am trying to find out who 1815 John McLean's family was, and ditto for Rhoda Rebekah Black. I know John's mother was Grace Douglas who lived with John and Rhoda in Puslinch, and also in Manitoba.
I know NOTHING about Rhoda's family of origin. None of the Puslinch Black families seem to "fit".
John and Rhoda were married in 1844 at Duff's Church in Morriston; they lived in Puslinch at least 1851; they are on 1861 Nassagaweya census. In 1862 they left for Manitoba.
Any help about the McCaig's greatly appreciated- I have often wondered if John McLean was in Nova Scotia same time as McCaig's and that's where he met Rhoda and family. This John McLean also related to the McRobbie's, Wishart's, Anderson's, Barth's from Puslinch.
Thanks from Nora McLean in Alberta
