Hi Christine and Mary I saw Mary's post. The dates indicate to me that my Archibald CURRIE, b. 13 Nov 1763, and Mary (Flory) McQUEEN, b. 16 Jun 1770, and married ABT 1803, are not the same people that Mary is looking for. Too bad. I've seen others complain that there were too many Archibald CURRIEs on Islay. This Mary (Flory) McQUEEN was my Archibald's second wife. His first, Agnes McLELLAND, died on or just before 18 Jun 1803, giving birth to John CURRIE, b. 18 Jun 1803. Mary (FLORY) then bore Malcolm CURRIE, b. 25 Feb 1807, and Hugh CURRIE, b. 12 Nov 1812, both at Baliharvie, Kilmeny, Islay. Malcolm lived on the 5 acre lots at Duntroon where he married first Elizabeth (Betsey) McDIARMID, b. about 1811 on Islay, who died giving birth to Laughlin CURRIE, b. 1838 in Nottawasaga Twp., Simcoe Co., Ontario. He then married Mary McDOUGALL, b. 03 Nov 1815 at Baolach (?), Kilarrow Parish, Islay. Their fourth child was Flora who married Robert George CAMPBELL. Their second child was Malcolm, who's only child was Robert George, who's only child was Malcolm, me. There's a pattern there. More details on request. I have my Archibald as a tenant on Gorbas. My Mary (Flora) McQUEEN immigrated to Canada with her sons Malcolm, John and Hugh. She died in Oro Twp., Simcoe Co., Ontario. Her sons moved her body to Nottawasaga Twp., Simcoe Co., after they became established there. Christine. I hadn't realized that we are 5th cousins!!!
