I am researching the Scot settlers who were with the Lord Selkirk settlers in Manitoba. In 1815, Settlers to the Red River brought by Duncan Cameron, was Neil McKinnon as an Old Man, with his wife? and two Boys?????. Does anyone know who these boys were? Are there descendants ? There is also mention of a John Cooper. Is there descendants of this man out there? Earl of Selkirk and Coy's Party, engaged in Ross, Brolas, and Greenburn in the Isle of Mull, Scotland were: Charles Campbell Archd McKinnon age 40 from Torinbeg Neil Campbell age 40 from Torin Uich Flora McKinnin age 45 John Campbell age 18 Neil McKinnin age 45 from Glenbaire Marjery McGilvra wife age 40 Are there any descendants out there? I am researching the McKinnon, Campbell and Cooper families. Which of these families went to Ontario to settle later? Are their descendants in Manitoba also.
