Hello Carolynne When I was looking for my great grandfather, John McEachern, I found in the 1851 census a Peter McEachern married to Margaret; their ages were given as 57 and the children listed were John, Mary, Margaret, Catherine, Ann, Peter and Flora. No Rodger shown but he would have been say 23 years old and could have already gone to Canada. Peter McEachern's occupation is given as farmer of 40 acres.

Hi Carolynne and Janet Can you tell me who and if there was any other children for Peter McEachern and Margaret McInnes. I had family who lived in Egremont Tp. as well. My Mary McEachern (b-1826) married Peter McArthur (b-1812) my understanding is their daughter Catherine McArthur was born in Egremont Tp. Thanks Marilyn Hello Carolynne When I was looking for my great grandfather, John McEachern, I found in the 1851 census a Peter McEachern married to Margaret; their ages were given as 57 and the children listed were John, Mary, Margaret, Catherine, Ann, Peter and Flora.
