  40. I am not a direct line descendant - my great grandmother was though. I grew up around her until I was about twenty years old and she was so very proud of that heritage. Her direct ancestor was Angus ā€œmacGhilleasbuigā€ (I probably spelled that wrong but, of Alexander?) of the Clan Ranald branch of the MacDonalds. He was born in Inverness-shire in 1821 but I think the family was originally from North Uist in the highlands and were possibly cleared - they ended up going to Nova Scotia to settle with so many others. His son in fact came a year or two after the main branch emigrated, as he had to finish an apprenticeship in Scotland before setting out. My great gram was from Glace Bay/Antigonish. She knew a little Scots Gaelic as I recall and told me… never to trust a Campbell. (Sorry, but what they did to my poor ancestors? Yikes šŸ˜…) On my maternal side one of my great-great grandmothers was a Campbell (Grace, of Donald Campbell and Catherine MacLean. Donald was born in Ontario in 1821, but his da was born in Scotland.) I don’t know their story, where they came from in Scotland, what drove them to the heart of upper Canada - but they were fairly early settlers to Martintown, Ontario. I also have MacDougall and MacIntyre, also from Nova Scotia but highland Scots. My mother in law is a Stewart. Her direct ancestor (Peter) was from Caputh in Perthshire born c. 1800. His son for whatever reason (it involved horse trading - or rustling!) ended up in Ireland. Their descendants also immigrated to America (1880’s/90’s)
