The following page is about the Samson family, one of whom married a Nancy McBrayne, but it contains information about the John and Mary McBrayne as well (2nd paragraph on right side of page). According to the information contained in the book, John and Mary immigrated from Scotland about 1828. Since Angus McBrayne, who died in Toronto in 1885 wasn't born until about 1833, I don't the this John and Mary were his parents. The parents of Angus were more likely John McBrayne and Mary McFarlan. http://www.ourroots.ca/e/page.aspx?id=3746094 Christening entries for the children of John McBrayne and Mary Campbell, born in Scotland, indicate they were baptised in North Knapdale, Argyll. The 1871 census index places John's birthdate about 1783. John McBrayne (b.c. 1830), who was married to Catherine Patterson probably was the son of Dugald McBrayne and Jane McKillop/McGilp, however, I couldn't find anything online that includes the names of his parents (marriage or death records). I only found a record for one of Dugald and Jane's children born in Scotland on the LDS website, although I'm sure there were more. The LDS site has a couple of entries for children born to Malcolm McBrayne and Mary McLarty, who also settled in Yarmouth, Elgin Co. The children of both couples were born in Glassary, Argyll, with the first born son named Archibald, so I would imagine they were related.
