In a passage describing the family of Alexander McLeod Jr. and his wife Johanna McLeod (that was her maiden name too), it lists their children. One of the children was a daughter Margaret who "married a Vanderwater, and lived in Spokane." This would be in Washington state of course When someone sent this to me I thought the Vanderwater was James Colborne as I stated in the message, as his family was the only Vanderwater family in Kincardine. I have in the last couple of days learned that it probably wasn't James, likely a Vanderwater from another line. Serves me right for jumping to conclusions. As for the McLeods, I know there a couple of McLeod researchers listed either at the Bruce Co. site or at the general Ontario site of GenWeb. I know there is someone at the Bruce Co. site who will do look-ups for that book, so maybe your McLeods are listed. I know there were quite a few McLeods there. Sorry I couldn't help more, Willie
