Hi Shane Awhile back you were wondering about your Mary Buchanan and Alexander McLean's children. Although I can't confirm that the children did indeed come over before 1851. I've been wondering about Donald Whyte reference as this was a DC -a correspondence letter. I just came across another, which also is a DC correspondence that could be in error as well. Archibald McDonald & Flora McNaughton Bapt. 9 April 1809, Archibald McDonald, Iona and Flora McNaughton daughter Mary McDonald. [KLF7505728, 87 Bapt. 9 Dec. 1810, Archibald McDonald, Iona and Flora McNaughton daughter Catherine McDonald.
