Is anyone researching this couple? Donald McAlpin who married Elizabeth Black 13 Feb 1807 in Glassary, Argyll I am wondering if these are the same people as my Donald McAlpin b. 1787 in N. Knapdale d. 1859 in Aldborough Twp, Ont. who married Betsy Black b. abt 1788 d. bef 1871 in Aldborough Twp. Ontario. Could this be a possibility? It is believed that Donald was the son of Alexander McAlpin and Katherine McInterand. Betsy's parents are unknown. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Anne Reynolds Mt. Albert, Ontario

Hi Anne: It looks like the same couple. The Elgin County Genealogical Society have transcribed many of the cemeteries and some of the monuments contain helpful details. If you find where they are buried (via the Ontario Cemetery Finding Aid which is searchable) and then look for transcriptions, you may find some details you don't have. There is a Black's cemetery in the Aldborough area.
