That said, I'll tell you what I know. The first batch, beginning with Murdoch in Mariposa at age 52 in 1881 and ending with Mary Ann age 9, are all one family, of which the parents are Murdoch McDougall and Ann Ferguson, married 1 Feb 1859 in Brock Twp, Ont. Murdoch was reported to have been born about 1825 in Argylshire, Scotland. He died 28 May 1912 in Mariposa. It seems likely that this Murdoch was related to the Murdoch in whom I am interested, or to his wife Mary (who was also a McDougall), who lived way west of Mariposa, in Enderslie, Bruce County, Ontario, in the same time period. However, I have yet to discover how they were related. The remainder of the people listed in your post are unknown to me - I have no data on them, nor do I have a clue as to how or whether they are related to Murdoch and Ann, although it seems likely. Sorry not to have more to offer. Best, Ted
