Hi Sue, I have the following info for you re Caircross. William Cairncross was born in Scotland, moved to Quebec, then to New York, then to Wisconsin, and finally to Sibley County, MN. In 1866 William Cairncross built a steam-driven sawmill on the NW corner of Section 19 in Washington Lake Township in Sibley County. A grist and feed attachment were added later. Bographical data: William Cairncross, a native of Scotland, was born in 1830. At 15 years of age he went to Quebec, and soon after to Montreal, but remained only a short time, then worked his passage to Kingston on a boat. (Noote: Kingston is in Ontario, Canada). For about 2 years he worked on a farm, and in 1857 went to New York to meet his parents, whom he expected to arrive from his native land. He engaged as driver on the Erie Canal a short time then went to Memphis, Tennessee, and remained until 1863. Removed to Wisconsin a purchased a farm a short distance from Madison; this he sold in the fall of 1861 and removed to Sibley County, locating in Arlington. Followed teaming for several years from Henderson to the indian reservation, and from St Paul to Big Stone Lake. In 1866 settled in Washington Lake Township amd purchased a mill site, erected a sawmill, and in 1874 built a small grist mill; both were destroyed by fire in 1877. He rebuilt the sawmill the same year, which he still runs. At Memphis in 1853, he married Catherine McLean, and has a large family. The biographical data has an error in the dates and was first published in 1883 in a book called the History of the Minnesota Valley by a priest, Father Edward Neal. It was reprinted in 1966 in a book titled A History of St Brendan's Parish, The Village of Green Isle and Minnesota's First Irish Settlement, written by another priest Father John Gerald Berger. There are a number of Cairncross references in the book besides the biography, but I don't have time to find them and type them up for you right now.

Hi Kaye, 1860 MN Census for Nicollet County, Traverse Township (near the Minnesota River north of Mankato) Louis Laramie married Tatodoota/Tateduta/Red Wind/Mary Red Iron by Father Augustine Ravoux around 1842 Mendota, MN. Mary was Sisseton/Wahpeton Indian (two of the seven Santee Tribes (Eastern Sioux) of MN) Children were Rosalie, Josephine Allaine, Louisa, Edward, and Narcisse McNeal (all marked as Indian on 1860 census records) Rosalie is my greatgreat grandmother whose records I have and her sister Louisa`s records. I going after Edward right now. After the Sisseton and Wahpeton were put on there reservation on the ND/SD/MN border Edward became a Indian Scout at Fort Wadsworth which was torn down and put back up three times between the three state borders, ending up near Sisseton, then renamed Fort Sisseton. That`s the last record I`ve got on Edward. Rosalie died in the Twin Cities and Louisa in Nicollet County, don`t know if the other kids went with the Indians or stayed in MN. Thanks Patrick
