In 1820 Peter CRAM left the Comrie area of Perthshire and sailed on the ship Benlomond from Greenock for the port of Quebec City, Canada. He was accompanied by his wife Janet KEY, five sons and three daughters. They were going to join another son, John CRAM and his family who had made the journey two years earlier and settled in Beckwith Township, Lanark County, Upper Canada (now called Ontario). Their son James CRAM (1799-1885) was granted land in Beckwith at Concession 11, lot 20 NE. He married Janet McPHAIL (1807-1874) in 1830, and they had six sons and three daughters in Lanark County, Ontario. Their son Isaac CRAM(1844-1923) married Martha Mary MOFFATT (1849-1921) at Carleton Place, Ontario, in 1868; this partnership producing eight sons and two daughters, still in Lanark County. One of their sons, William Moffatt CRAM (1869-1923) married a Joanna. They lived in Beckwith for some time before moving to Vermont, USA.. They had three daughters and a son Donald James CRAM who was born in Chester, Vermont in 1919. Donald lived his entire life in the USA., and in 1987 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He passed away in 2001. In summary, there is a large number of people from Lanark County, Ontario, and from Perthshire, Scotland who have this brilliant scientist on their family tree.
