She would be of about correct age to be your "Hath". Fascinating but no way to prove it! Dixie Cutler Hello Dixie, My McArthurs were from Kildalton. Archibald McArthur would be my 3rd. great-grandfather Archibald McArthur born 1771 Lower Killeyan, Kildalton. Islay. Wife: Catherine MacEacharn born about 1771 Killdalton. Married: 13 Aug 1791 Kildalton. Both of that parish. Children: Catherine McArthur, born 16 Aug 1792 Lagavulin, Kildalton. Nancy McArthur, born 1 Jan 1794 Lagavulin, Kildalton Isabella McArthur, born 13 Feb 1800 Lagavulin, (my line) married 15 Aug 1823 James Keith in High Church, Paisley, Renfrew.
