I'm trying to find information about my MacPherson family in Quebec in the early 1800's in the area of Beauharnois. William MacPherson (d by 1822) is said to have married a Mary Ann Knight of Ireland...I don't know where nor on which side of the ocean. Their son William (aka Guillaume) was married to Mathilda Leduc. Family legend is that they came from the Isle of Gladstone, Scotland, but there is not (nor was) such a place. I hope these names or locations will ring a bell with someone who is able to shed some light on the matter. Any suggestions are welcome. My Canadian history is very rusty at best, so any information will be helpful. Thanks.

Hello Merri, I am aware of the Beauhornois area as some of my Scottish ancestors lived in Ormstown, & Howick Que.area which is close to Beauhornois. One of them m. a Brown. Valleyfield is also in that area. All this area was settled by French & Scot's --the cemeteries there might help you. It is also not far from the American border. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Merri Vinton" <merzi@arvig.net> To: <SCOTS-IN-CANADA-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: May 4, 2004 7:07 PM Subject: [SCTCDN] MacPherson-Knight-Leduc > I'm trying to find information about my MacPherson family in Quebec in > the early 1800's in the area of Beauharnois.
