Over the years I have carried out quite a bit of research into this family and now believe that John Sutherland was a son of William Sutherland and his wife Janet Campbell of Rogart. Janet was born in January 1773 at Knockarthur, Rogart, daughter of Alexander Campbell of Knockarthur. There is no way now to prove any of the above. The old Parish Register does not include sufficient detail. I have corresponded with descendants in Canada and feel that the above is as close to the truth as is possible now. Having said that I keep looking!

We believe John's mother to be a Janet Campbell. Her sister was Katherine Campbell. Katherine's grave is in Earltown, next to her son Duncan Sutherland who also came out in 1831. The Campbell sisters had two brothers, Donald and Duncan Campbell who both came to Nova Scotia with rather large families. Records for Donald indicate he emigrated from Clyne. While Duncan Campbell had children born in Rogart at Dalbain, Tannachy, Inischemy, and Knockarthur. There is some evidence to suggest that John SUtherland and his cousin Duncan originated in or near Dalreavoch. We have a published book on this matter entitled "Donald Campbell, Duncan Campbell and "Coach" Sutherlands: Sutherlandshire to Pictou County" by Joan Bourque Campbell, published in 1987.
