was in the obituary for Dan Morrison of Massena concerning the origins of his grandfather Donald Morrison.It also
said his "mothers people were natives of that country as well". I have found baptismal records at Kirkhill Presbyterian church that listed Malcolm's parents as Donald Morrison and Margaret Campbell residing on lot 3 conc 9 Kenyon. The parish records in Glenelg list a Donald Morrison
and Margaret Campbell as being married Dec 1809, however I don't know if they emigrated to Canada.
At any rate I do know Malcolm was born here in Canada
in 1821 , so I know they arrived by 1820.
Possibly Donald arrived some years earlier as a boy with
his parents as well?
The Kirkhill records also list births for a Sarah
and Ivor, that would be younger siblings of Malcolms'
Malcolm married twice, first to Nancy Ann McCrimmon, her
parents were Duncan and Isabella (MacLeod),
and Duncan came with his father John and other siblings on the "Eliza" in 1815
from Glenelg/Skye Scotland and settled in West Hawkesbury.
When Nancy died in 1865 Malcolm remarried Peggy Campbell,whose father Angus Campbell brought the family over
in 1832 on the Fanny and settled in Roxborough Stormont county, they were also from the Island of Skye.

Related families include Campbell, MacLeod, MacCrimmon and
MacRae from Glengarry Campbells were from Skye and came over 1832 on the Fanny
and settled in Stormont. MacCrimmons came in 1815 with
the MacRaes and settled originally in West Hawkesbury and
worked their way down to Lancaster.
The MacLeods I'm assuming were from Skye or Glenelg ,since
groups of families from Scotland tended to congregate once
they reached Canada. |
