Hello Listers I have previously posted on this list about my great great grandfather Hugh YOUNG, who leased the farm of Garmony on Mull from Murdoch Maclaine of Lochbuy, from 1836 to 1841.I eventually tracked him down to Canada, where he went in 1851, dying in Brant Township, Bruce County, Ontario in 1883. During my researches, I came across a book called "The History of the County of Bruce and of the minor municipalities therein, Province of Ontario, Canada" by Norman Robertson. It can be accessed on the www.ourroots.ca website. There is a reference on pages 59 and 60 to the building of a road. Apparently, in November 1851, Simon Orchard undertook: "on payment of £12/ 10s, to open up "a sleigh track" from the vicinity of Paisley as far as Lachlan ("Lochbuie") McLean's tavern, standing where is now the village of Port Elgin; from there the beach afforded a road to Southampton." Does anyone know anything about this Lachlan McLean, who presumably was from Mull? Stewart Young

HI Moira A book recently written by John Collins of Ont - mentions Dougal McPhail - THE BARD of Mull 1818-1887 - inside he says though he has not shown a connection to mcphails of his boo - given the small size of the island of mull and those landing in PEI, NS ,etc he figures there is most likely a connection..... sherri

Hi there , Further to Moira's letter regarding papers mentioning Dugald MacPhail's family, Had a few credits left for 'Scotlandspeople,' Flora MacInnes, m/s MacPhail who was residing with her daughter Seonaid in Paisley Renfrewshire is most probably the one who died there in 1947 aged 91yrs , 573/01 0199, for anyone interested in looking it up. Kind regards Margaret Murray.

The article below was found among papers belonging to a member of our family after his death. Although there must be a connection to our family, as there is mention of Dugald MacPhail the bard, I'm not sure how it fits together and wonder if some of the Mull names mentioned may belong to other listers' families. Although there was no date or name on the papers, I belive the Dugald MacPhail named below was the Dugald MacPhail who died in 1939 at Croggan and was described as Retired Postmaster, informant was Archie Macdougall - grand-nephew. Dugald would have been born around 1853. There are a couple of Gaelic quotes which if by any remote chance anyone understand what they mean I'd be pleased to know. The writer also refers to Seonaid - the Gaelic Janet. Dugald's parents - Allan MacPhail & Janet MacColl - are on Ian's census, in 1881 Mary MacKinnon is with them also with 4 children. If anyone is connected to this family I'd be delighted to hear from you. “CLOINN PHAIL A ROILL An Old Mull Family Recently there appeared in these columns a kindly worded notice of the passing of Dugald MacPhail of Faclan Mor, Ardura, Mull, ever a faithful servant to his employers and a man of peace. A near kinsman to his namesake, Dugald MacPhail, the noted bard of Mull, he inherited the same love of music which is found in the majority of MacPhails. Dugald was a good neighbour, and his presence was always appreciated at social gatherings where his old world Gaelic melodies gave happiness to young and old. Much loved by friends and by those who were his intimates, he will be held in memory for days to come as a good friend and an upright man. Roill must still be known to many Mull folk, overlooking a pretty glen, which a Mull bard poetically describes as “Gleann an fhuarain, a nuas a Roill”. Half a century ago the MacPhails of Mull held their farms all around the Mull coast, from Lochbuie to halfway up the Sound of Mull. A fine tribute to the race was paid by an old shepherd, long since gone, who always quoted the saying – “Bu dual do Chloinn Phail a bhi ciuin”. Dugald’s grandfather, Donald, farmed at Coire-na-h-anachoir, where he married Flora MacLean, a native of the isle. Their son Allan married Seonaid MacColl of Iona stock, and settled at the beautiful homestead of Achaphuirt, overlooking the Firth of Lorn. A large family grew to manhood, but with the passing of our old friend Dugald, one son only is left, Archibald, who still occupies Achaphuirt. Allan had two daughters, one of whom, Flora survives. She married Hugh MacInnes, also a Mull man. Like many Highland mothers she suffered in her day. In the days of war her son Hugh heard the call of his country and traveled from Winnipeg to fall on the stricken field of Paschendale. Her daughter, Seonaid, with whom she resides in Paisley, trained as a nurse and served over four years of war in the hospitals of France. She is now held in high regard in the Public Health Department of Renfrewshire County Council in whose clinics and schools she serves. Allan’s other daughter, Mary, married John MacKinnon, also of Mull, who followed the sea and had sailed round the globe. Mary passed away some years ago but Dugald found rest in her old home at Croggan, where in his last illness he was nursed with much devotion by his niece, Seonaid MacKinnon, who occupies the old family home. Friendly hands laid Dugald to rest in the new cemetery at Balure on the shores of Lochspelve, and quite close to his old home at Ardura.” Regards Moira MacPhail Christchurch, NZ

Please find copied below the obituary for Mary McFadyen who married Angus McKinnon in Mull in 1824 and died in Bruce County, Ontario 13 Nov 1889. The photocopy that I have does not indicate the name of the newspaper or the date of publication. Now, of course, the genealogical puzzle is to determine all the descendants mentioned therein! My ancestor is their daughter Flora who married John McLean, s/o Hector McLean & Mary McGillvra. If this item is suitable for the Mull webpage, please feel free to post it there. - Jennifer ============================ North Bruce, 1889 Another Old Settler Gone. The removal by death on Wednesday of last week of Mary McKinnon, relict of the late Angus McKinnon, of the 12th con. of Bruce was like the taking away of a link that binds the present to the past. How few people there are now living who first saw the light of day before the present century began. Mrs. McKinnon was born in the island of Mull, Argyleshire, Scotland, in the year 1798. She was united in marriage to Angus McKinnon in 1824 who was a native of the same island. He was born in 1785 and passed away in 1882 at the advanced age of 97 years. The late Angus McKinnon was a good man and his name is yet fragrant in the minds of many for his holiness of life and the lofty spirit of devotion that characterized his every act. He was a most conscientious man and in the smallest details of life aimed at serving his Master most faithfully. This might be illustrated by mentioning an incident that happened in his early religious history and is frequently told of him still. In his youth he learned to play the bagpipes and was passionately fond of the music of his native hills. At the period of his conversion, about 1843, he underwent deep conviction ere he found the peace that never left him in his subsequent years. On one occasion during this period of his life on returning from church he deliberately consigned his hitherto beloved pipes to the flames and was never afterwards known to play them. During the stormy times of 1843, he and his wife identified themselves with the Free Church, being staunch defenders of the spiritual independence of the church. The year 1849 found them in Canada and settled in the township of Vaughan, York county, the first home of so many Scottish immigrants who afterwards led the way in pioneer life in many parts of Ontario. Five years later or in 1854, they settled on the lands in Bruce where they were destined to spend the remainder of their days and which are now owned by their sons, Donald and John. On August 17th, 1882, Angus McKinnon peacefully passed away, full of years, and respected by every one who knew him. One who knew him well says, "I never saw a more consistent Christian. He acknowledged God in everything and lived very near to Him, being specially noted for the qualities of reverence, trust and gratitude." And now after a longer stay of seven years his aged partner in life has also crossed the river. She went home on Wednesday last and her remains were borne to their last resting place on Friday. A large concourse of friends assembled to pay their last tribute of respect. The last sad rites were performed by the Rev. John Eadie, pastor of the North Bruce Presbyterian church. The aged couple were tenderly nursed and cared for in their last years by Mrs. Donald McKinnon to whom the other members of the family feel themselves indebted. This aged couple left a numerous family. Eleven children were born to them. Two of these died in infancy and another at a more matured age. The remaining eight survive and all were present at the funeral on Friday. They are Mrs. Thos. Smith, Tara ; Mrs. McGillivray, Port Eligin ; John McKinnon, Bruce ; Mrs. McLean, Bruce ; Mrs. John Bell, Saugeen ; Donald McKinnon, Bruce ; Mrs. Gilchrist, Bruce, and James McKinnon, Port Elgin. In all there were born to this patriarchal couple 11 children, 72 grand children and 19 great grand children, making the whole number of descendants 102. There are now living 8 children, 63 grand children and 17 great grand children, or 88 in all. The grand children are scattered widely, among them being teachers, preachers, merchants, &c. It might be worthy of note in concluding to say that nearly all the children and grand children who have come to years of maturity are members of the Christian church. How far this may be in answer to Angus McKinnon's earnest and frequent prayer for blessing "on children and children's children" we know not.
