Dear John: I'm interested in your McNabb's in Brock twp- would that be Beaverton? Would your McNabb's be part of the group that had the Revere House? My Catherine McNabb was supposed to have a wealthy cousin in Beaverton- and I have wondered if it was the Revere House McNabb's. They lived near her nephew Alexander in Fenelon right after emigrating in 1871. Alexander was the son of Colin McNabb. Do you think there's a connection? Thanks. Carolyn

Hi Carolyn I too have a Colin McNab but I don't have much on him. He was the brother of my great grandmother. He was born about 1819 in Lurabus, Islay.
