Hello Merri, I can't really help you with your names, but perhaps I can send you in the correct direction. The first URL is for a site that if you go through it carefully you may come up with something, an email to one of the people who run the site may produce info. The second URL is an article that I read a long time back about a cemetery in ruin, and the first person buried there was a William MacPherson. http://websites.epidirect.com/~chateauguay/Default.htm http://www.rootsweb.com/~qchuntin/calvin/caltext.htm There is an area of Edinburgh known as Gladstone's Land, that may be where your ancestors hailed from. Good luck.
