I don't know if this will be any help, but I grew up in Glengarry Co.,Ont. Canada, & these names were very common there. As Laura Rhule knows we share the McMartins, who are my ancestors. Camerons were also my ancestors, & I haven't searched the whole line yet. There were many in the Martintown area & Lancaster.- also many Ross'. The Sutherlands were well known & documented in Glengarry. The Morris', & McKay's lived in Alexandria, & some McKay's lived in Dalhousie Que. just on the Ont. border. Sinclair is only familiar to me as an ancestor in Breadlebain Scotland ( Loch Tay area) as marrying into my ancestors,-Mcvichie. McQueen,Morrison,Fergusons, Jamiesons, McDonalds,are very commom names in Glengarry. After the war in 1783, men were given crown land, & some sold it & moved to be closer to their relatives in other area's. In my reading & old land indenture records I have showed me how much they did move around. In the mid 1800's there were big families & not enough employment for all the sons & as a result they moved westward. Hope this gets to all the people I rec'd emails from.
