Their son Alexander was born in 1832, their twin sons Duncan and Robert in 1834. The family then moved to Illinois in 1854. The McTaggart sons who moved to Illinois (plus their first cousin Alexander Montgomery) all married into the Carswell family, who apparently moved at about the same time from Bute. Neil's brother Daniel apparently came to the United States to work for a Mr. Rankin on the Sculkhill Canal and married Rankin's daughter, Margaret. Neil's two sisters were Isabella and Elizabeth, who never married and presumably stayed on Bute. I have been unable to find any information on Neil McTaggart before his marriage. Do you have information?
