Hi, I would also like to introduce myself to the list. My interests include the Munros from Dornoch, the MacKay's from Rogart and the Sutherlands also from the same area. I live in West Zorra, Oxford County, Ontario, Canada where a large number of Sutherlandshire people emigrated to following the Clearances. The settlement started about 1819 with William and Angus MacKay, brothers who made their way to Zorra because of land opening up in the township. William had been a Captain in the ninety-third Sutherland and Argyleshire Highland Regiment and at the close of the Peninsular War had been granted his discharge. Angus returned to Sutherland in about 1828 and hired a boat bringing back to Zorra many of his relatives that had been evicted by the Duke of Sutherland. The Munro's may have been on that original boat or they came shortly after. William MacKay was born in Rogart about 1794 and Angus MacKay about 1798. Their parents were George MacKay and Janet Gordon. George's parents were Angus and Isobel MacKay. Isobel at the age of 80 came on the boat in 1829 to Zorra but died within 3 months and was the first person buried in the Old Log Cemetery. Charles Munro married Ann Ross in Scotland and I believe that all their children were born in Canada. If anyone has connections to any of these families I would love to hear from you. Lynn Munro
