John My Donald Calder and Isabella Campbell first came to North Carolina from Islay about 1818. They came from NC to Thorah Township (Ontario County) about 1828. "Alexander Calder, whose father, Donald Calder, came out from Oa about fifty to fifty-five years since to North Carolina, and then came to Canada. Alexander resided in Fayettville, N.C., for ten years, and then followed his parents to Canada, and has been a resident in Beaverton for forty years past. The father and mother, who are still living with their family, acquired land here when the township of Thorah was first opened up. Alexander is married to a daughter of Donald McNab, who was formerly in Lurabus. She is second wife, and has a family of a boy and four girls, the eldest about 12 years of age. He has one boy by his first marriage. He owns 120 acres near this town and 100 acres about a mile further off, and is in comfortable circumstances; having no thought of the old country, though he likes to hear of it and to see anyone who, like myself, knows his relatives and friends. When he came here there was no cleared land around Beaverton." John Ramsey of Kildalton - Freda Ramsey - Peter Martin and Associates Notes from his diary of a trip to Canada in 1870 to visit emigres from Islay. "Intrepretation of this means that Donald Calder came out from Islay 1815-1820 to North Carolina. (1818 - The Beaverton Story - page 13) Donald Calder came to Beaverton in 1828 (page 13 - The Beaverton Story). Alexander remained in Fayettville (Cumberland County) North Carolina until 1830. He came to Beaverton about that time." This Donald Calder is my Great-great grandfather. If this is the Donald Calder you are interested in I have lots of other information about the Calder's of Beaverton and Thorah township. John Stanyon "Old Ontario County Family #3 Donald Calder & Isabella Campbell Origin: Isle of Islay, Argyll County, Scotland Year of Immigration: 1827"
