• Notes

  <notexml>They be Ulster Scots. I am unsure as of yet. But reason to believe they are originally Scottish and then went to Ireland until 1700’s, leaving for Canada. rtf1\ansi\ansicpg1252\deff0\deflang1033{\fonttbl{\f0\fnil\fcharset0 Microsoft Sans Serif;}{\f1\fnil\fcharset2 Symbol;}} \viewkind4\uc1\pard\f0 Born in Ireland, head Gardener for Lord Moran with whose daughter Mary, he eloped and in 1761 came to Canada.
