Greetings to the list. I am interested in locating the pre-emigration origins of our family, as identified below. THOMAS MACNAB was born Abt. 1760 in [possibly] Aberdeen, Scotland, and died Abt. 1785 in [possibly] North Ireland. He married ELIZABETH MAXWELL Abt. 1780. She was born Abt. 1765 in Scotland, and died Abt. 1865 in [possibly] North Ireland. Elizabeth Maxwell lived to be 105 years old. It is thought that she was an albino. Children of Thomas MACNAB and Elizabeth MAXWELL: i. ROBERT MACNAB, b. Abt. 1785, Unknown Location; d. Unknown, Unknown Location. no documented proof. ii. GEORGE MACNAB, b. Abt. 1785, Unknown Location; d. Unknown, Unknown Location. no documented proof. iii. PETER MACNAB, b. Abt. 1785, Unknown Location; d. Unknown, Unknown Location. no documented proof. iv. JOSEPH MACNAB, b. Abt. 1785.no documented proof v. HENRY (HARRY) MACNAB, b. Abt. 1785, North Ireland; emigrated 1831 to Ontario, Canada. Lived in Mulmur Twp. Simcoe Co. Ontario, Canada. d. Abt. 1871, in Melanchon Township, (Simcoe County) Ontario, Canada. He married ELIZABETH LIVINGSTONE Abt. December 1816 in North Ireland (Church of England). She was born Abt. 1795 in North Ireland, and died Abt. 1871 in Mulmur Corners, Dufferin County, Ontario, Canada. Henry MacNab was a soldier in the 83rd Irish Regiment of Foot under Wellington in the Napoleonic campaign. The 83rd later became the 1st Battalion of Royal Irish Rifles. [Henry's son Robert said he was born in Dublin but was Scottish; it wasn't his fault, he said, that his mother happened to be in Ireland at the time.] Children of HENRY MACNAB and ELIZABETH LIVINGSTON are: i. JOHN MCNABB, b. Abt.1820. ii. WILLIAM MCNABB, b. Abt. 1822; d. 10 October 1911, Bowsman, Manitoba (while visiting). iii. THOMAS "HENRY" MCNABB, b. Abt. 1827. iv. ROBERT MCNABB, b. 25 December 1820, Dublin Ireland; d. 23 September 1899, Elkton, Michigan. v. MARY ANN MCNABB, b. Abt. 1840. vi. ELIZA MCNABB, b. Abt. 1842. any Old Country suggestions or sources very much appreciated. Family is well documented in North America, and will be pleased to correspond with other researchers. Janice
