Cheers, Scott Cameron / MacLean - Guelph, > Ontario 1851 > Canada Scott: My gg grandparents Alexander McIntyre (b 1801, son of Dougald McIntyre and Ann McDonald) ) and Mary McKinnon (b 1808) came to Canada from Tiree and settled in Mariposa Township, Victoria Co about 1848. Shortly thereafter, my g grandfather John McIntyre was born there. John McIntyre married in 1883 Mary McKinnon of Osprey Township, Grey Co. Mary was the daughter of Hugh McKinnon, who also came from Tiree. I have not verified the name of Hugh's wife (they married in Canada) but I believe that it was Margaret Cameron, who may well have also been from Tiree. She died shortly after the birth of Mary (their only child). In 1862 Hugh McKinnon remarried, his second wife being Ann McIntyre, daughter of my gg grandfather Alexander McIntyre. Thus John McIntyre's father in law was also his brother in law:) Regards, Deane McIntyre
