Donald, I am hopefully replying back through Rossgen as well as to you, as my email to Alton McDonald of Palmerston North NZ came back and I thought the two of you would pay to exchange information as you were interested in Applecross Macraes. The main family I have been researching is that of my grandfather John McLeay born 24th March 1855 at Lonbain in Applecross. His mother was Ann Kennedy who died in 1895 at Lonbain, supposedly 68 years old. She may be related to your John Kennedy who married Betsy McLean in 1802. John McLeay's father was Alexander McLeay who died in 1880, aged 67. Ann and Alexander McLeay married in 1851. Alexander McLeay was the son of Donald McLeay [1775-1860] and Kate Macrae. Alexander was one of two siblings called Alexander and both lived!!![ Not the usually practice of renaming]. Donald and Kate had Ann in 1803, Janet 1807, Catherine 1809, John 1810, Alexander 1813, Jesse 1813, Donald 1817, Alexander 1821 [ I think I have those dates correct] I think Alexander McLeay's mother Kate Macrae is related to the family of Macrae being researched by Donald and Alton. However some other people on the list may be able to add information.
