Jane Cameron 1818. I have a Family Group Record (prepared in 1988 by a genealogy friend who was helping me identify my Antigonish McLean/Grant/Cameron ancestors)which SUGGESTS Angus and Jane (?Cameron) had 11 children: John, Angus, Alexander Nelson, Jane, Ann/Nancy, William, Hugh, Donald, Isabella, James, Mary. Probable Dates of Birth for these range from 1818 -ca 1838. I have a copy of the microfilmed Estate Papers for Angus GRANT dated Jan 1872. He and Jane were living on a farm in "the Ohio". Happy to share if this is of interest. Yesterday I found at http://www.rootsweb.com/~nsantigo/Cemeteries/northlochabercem.html an Angus Grant and his widow, Jane who died 4 years later. Also buried in the North Lochaber Cemetery I see a John Grant d. 1870 - could be the eldest child of Angus & Jane Grant - who predeceased his father. Their second son, Angus "the younger", was appointed administrator of his father's estate. That seems consistent, if the eldest son had already died. Ann/Nancy Grant (Probably 5th in the birth order of Angus & Jane's children) married Archibald McLean of Keppoch/later Mayfield. One of their ten children, my grandmother Molly/Mary Ann McLean who moved down to Lowell, Massachusetts - along with a younger brother Neil. Another of their siblings moved to Portland, Maine. I would enjoy hearing from "Mary" who posted the original inquiry in 2002, or anyone else researching these families. Thank you to all who have made material available to us long-distance researchers [George Newbury - No Lochaber Cemetery transcription - Thanks!] and have responded with references to excellent online resources [Dennis Ryan -Thanks!] Lois M.
