Hi Nolene I am sure that you probably already know that you can view this will on Scotlands People (for a fee of course). I have checked and it is listed there. I wonder if he is possibly the grandfather to a Lachlan McNeil who married Elizabeth McCuaig 15 Jan 1834 and who left Islay for Ontario sometime after 1846. He died there 3 Aug 1909 aged 100 years and 8 months according to his tombstone. Monta > > On Ted Larsen's wonderful webpage - there is a link to a listing of wills > in > the early days of Islay.
