My Margaret McVORAN was married to Peter CURRIE, 24 Aug 1811. He left her behind while he and two sons came to Canada. See http://www.gencircles.com/users/gerodo1/14/data/247739 Peter was killed when he was felling trees in the 5 acre lots in Nottawasaga Twp., Simcoe County, Ontario, March of 1835. ********** A letter from Neil MORRISON contains the following quotation from Hunter's. History of Simcoe County; Peter CURRIE came with the first contingent of Islay settlers in the fall of 1834 but did not live long to see the growth of the settlement, having been killed by a falling tree in March 1835. The place, where the accident occurred was north of Duntroon on or about lot 26 concession 8 and his death was the first that took place in the new settlement. One of his sons John CURRIE afterwards settled on lot 35, conc. 12 and another James CURRIE on lot 38, conc. 10. ******** Malcolm Campbell
