: I would like to correspond with other cousins
: who are researching the McCrimmon family. I
: descend from John McCrimmon who was born
: about 1759 in the Highlands of Scotland --
: probably either on Skye, or on the mainland
: near Glenelg. He married Catherine about
: 1786. Her maiden name may have been McRae,
: or it could have been McCrimmon. They had at
: least seven children. The eldest, Farquhar,
: was born about 1787. John and his family
: lived at Glenelg, Inverness, a village that
: looks across the Sound of Slet to the Isle
: of Skye.
:
: In July 1815, at age 56, John booked passage
: to Ontario, Canada on the ship Eliza which
: sailed on 3 August with 123 emigrants.
: Passengers of the Eliza included twenty-five
: families who came from the peninsula of
: Glenelg, among them: twelve McRaes, three
: McCuaigs, and five McCrimmons.
:
: My McCrimmons settled at West Hawksbury,
: Prescott Co., Ontario, Canada.
