Hello All! These two people, among others, can be found in the book "Eldon Connections" by Rae B. Fleming as I had mentioned in an earlier post. Here is some of the juicy parts.... This is the Donald GRANT b.1777 husband of Catherine MACKAY mentioned in the information that I had provided you, Christine. Donald and Catherine GRANT emigrated with their six children in 1831. Their daughter Christine GRANT married John GUNN b.1829, brother of Rev, Robert F. GUNN. Their parents, Donald and Flora GUNN who came with their sons to Ontario in 1830, also had a daughter Elizabeth born in Ontario. The father was said to have been a minister in Scotland who had been shamed supposedly because of an affair(with Flora?) and had lost his ministry. In Canada, the father had to be persuaded to preach at McMurchy's Church. As there was no one to lead the congregation at that time and Robert was rather eloquent, he took over the duties though he was not himself ordained. 'Rev.'GUNN lead the congregtion for years. The book can be found at the library here in Victoria County. I will gladly check it out again for anyone who requests. Regards from warm and sunny(whew!)
