In reponse to: I am researching the Scot settlers who were with the Lord Selkirk settlers in Manitoba. There's an article in the Manitoba Historical Society online that suggests that some of your forebears did not leave descendents in Red River, but in Ontario. http://www.mhs.mb.ca/docs/transactions/1/settlers.shtml . Among those who went were not only persons bearing the names already mentioned, but others named McKinnon, Cooper-, Smith, McLean, McEachern and Campbell, who have left no representatives on Red River. By a long and wearisome journey to Fort William, and then in small boats along Lakes Superior and Huron, they reached Penetanguishene and found new homes near Toronto, London and elsewhere." Bette
