If you think you are related to this one I have lots on this family: 1-180/1a ANN MURRAY married ALEXANDER SUTHERLAND [23/4/1800-1892] [1790-22/9/1864] Ann (Nancy) was born at Craggie, Clyne, daughter of Alexander Murray and Chirsty Sutherland - see 1-045. In 1819 Alexander, son of John Sutherland and Catherine Reid of Rogart, emigrated to Earltown, Nova Scotia, with his brother John. Together they became known as the Ballem Sutherlands. Ann and Alexander, married and settled around Earltown and River John (GM/NS). They had the following children (SUTHERLAND): Catherine, born 1819 [died 30 January 1912 Earltown] [married Donald Sutherland]; Christy, born 1821 [died 20 November 1902 Earltown] [married Angus Matheson]; John, born 7 March 1824 [died 1913 Earltown] [married Margaret Murray in 1857 and had eleven children]; Betsy, born 1826 [died 17 April 1865 Earltown] [married John Sutherland who was born 1809 in Rogart they had ten children born in North Earltown]; Jane, born 7 March 1829 [died 14 February 1908 Pictou] [married Donald Murray, son of Peter Murray - had seven children born in Pictou]; Alexander, born 1829 [died 1 March 1867 Earltown] [married Catherine Murray in 1863]; Robert, born 1833 [died 29 March 1859 Nova Scotia] [married Catherine Murray in 1858]; Donald, born 7 January 1836; Jessie, born circa 1838; Ellen, born 1840; Mary, born 1844 and Isabella, born 1842. Alexander and Nancys first daughter, Catherine, had the distinction of being the first white child born in Earltown. While an infant, she was dipped in a nearby brook by a native woman. This was a tradition of the natives to teach young children to fear water. None the worse for the experience, Catherine lived to the age of 93.
