    3. Greetings from the 'Land Down Under', Ancestors, siblings, and descendants are sought for respective GRAHAM line and spouses. Duncan (1779- ?) was born at Kilbrandon and probably moved to Colonsay after his marriage. He was a miller. m. c1800 to Ellen JOHNSTON (c1770- ?) of County Argyle. Only known child so far is: Duncan Nelson (1800-1885). Born on Colonsay m. 1825 Ann BUCHANAN (1806-1885) of County Stirling. Born in Campsey parish and married at East (New) Kilpatrick, Dunbartonshire. Couple may have worked on dairy farm of James BUCHANAN and Elizabeth KERR (parents of Ann) in Stirling or Dunbartonshire before emigrating to Australia in 1838. They had six children; five born and baptised at Westertown near New Kilpatrick; and the sixth born in New South Wales. Duncan Nelson GRAHAM and Ann BUCHANAN and their five children sailed for Australia as 'assisted bounty immigrants' on 11 January 1838 from Greenock on the sv 'Duncan'. They arrived in Sydney, New South Wales on 20 June 1838. I know that these are 'common' Scottish surnames - but her's hoping that someone knows of these families. Many thanks.
