2 - We have traced our line back to John MacFarlane and Anne McIvor born around 1795. They had 10 children I believe and Murdoch was their son. Murdoch has a son named Angus and Angus had a son named Murdoch and Murdoch was my dad's father. Dad th
ought the family came to Huron Canada in 1841 but I think it was in 1851 during a time when Sir James Matheson took over land and a couple boatloads left from Stornoway (Bruce County history site). We know very little of John but believe he was bo rn in the county of Barvas but don't know any parents names or siblings.
