Good morning list As there were Boyds in Glasgow and also in the Southern parts of Lanarkshire, this migration path of the 1820's and the book references maybe of value to some members of this list whom had family members migrate out of Canada into MI, IN. and perhaps Ohio.

Thank you for that. The Scots community here in Orleans County, Vermont, had a sister community in the Lanark (Ontario) district. In September 9, 1830 and at least two other occasions, Rev. James Milligan, settled Reformed Presbyterian pastor of Ryegate, Vermont, and supply pastor at Craftsbury, Vermont, traveled to Lanark and organized two congregations. The Ramsay Congregation was quite scattered, and had two places of worship - the village of Ramsay, and of Carleton Place (not far west of Ottawa). About 40 years later, they called my grandfather’s uncle Rev. Robert Shields, who assisted in merging the two meetings, which was then called Almonte. I was not aware of the “Narrative”, and will try to find that. Thanks again. I have a digital copy of W. Melancthon Glasgow’s 1888 History of the North American Synod of the Reformed Presbyterian Church. He lists elders of most congregations which he discribes. I do not find any Boyds in the Lanark, Ontario, churches. Anyone who wants Glasgow’s History may download it from the web site of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in North America. > On Dec 28, 2019, at 2:54 PM, Mike Boyd <[email protected]> wrote: > > Good morning list > > As there were Boyds in Glasgow and also in the Southern parts of Lanarkshire, this migration path of the 1820's and the book references maybe of value to some members of this list whom had family members migrate out of Canada into MI, IN. and perhaps Ohio. > > Mike Boyd > Brisbane, Aust. > > -----Original Message----- From: gmail > Sent: Sunday, December 29, 2019 1:58 AM > To: [email protected] > Cc: gmail > Subject: [Lanark] Re: Emigration Societies > > Bennett, Carol, The Lanark Society Settlers, 1991, Renfrew: Juniper Books Limited > > This is an excellent source for details about the Lanark Society Settlers.
