Hi,
I am related to McGregors, McLarens and McCallums all from Kirklane.
My grandmother was Marion McGregor 1887-1975 She was born in Kirklane as was my great grandparents, John McGregor and his wife also my great, great grandparents James McGregor and Janet McCallum.. They are buried in the old graveyard at the top of Kirklane opposite the church.
I live only about four miles from Kirklane, Parish of Kincardine, Perthshire, now within Stirling District, so I know quite a lot and have loads of information.
I can easily call there and photograph graves, buildings etc.,

Thanks for the note. Have you seen the 1814 Moss Census? My folks came from # 3 Kirk Lane (McLarens) - Duncan, age 29 then, was my 3 Gr. grandfather. He married Isobel McGregor late that year. I'm assuming she is the Isobel from #5, daughter of John & Janet.
My other line comes from #32 Kirk Lane John McKerracher and Elizabeth McNaughton are my 4G. grandparents. My line follows from son Finlay, age 35 in 1814. His Son Robert eventually married Duncan McLaren's daughter Janet. They are my gg grandparents.
Re: the McLarens at #3. I have a death certificate for Duncan's younger brother Peter. He died in Gargunnock in late fall 1855. It also says his son Peter died on the Moss in the spring of that year and Peter's daughter Isobel died 2 years earlier.
Some of the McLarens and the whole Finlay McKerracher family came to Canada.
Would it be alright if I emailed you direct to tell you who/what I'm looking for?.
Jan

Thanks for posting this piece from the old Paper. As I have McLarens who farmed on Kirk Lane I found it interesting. I must dig out my files to see if there is a possibility it could have been one of them. I have an ordnance map of the area and see Kippen but not the Bridge of Frew. I am in Canada - can you tell me where it might be or is it a place that doesn't exist now?
A story like this begs as many questions as the details it gives. I wonder, for instance, why wait 'til dark to start back over territory like that? Whiskey tents as the sale?  What happened to the cattle?  etc. etc. Thanks again for your thoughtful posting. Jan

valr - I noticed you had McFarlane's from Kirk Lane.
Would the following MI from a stone in Blar Drummond fit with any of yours:
"To the memory of John McFarlane, late of Kirklane died 15th? June 1851 aged 64
John his son died 2nd? December 1852 aged 26
Thomas his son died ? May? 1864? aged 36
Margaret Graham his wife died 19th? ............?
And their? children
Charles died May 18?? aged 43 years
Isabella died March ? aged 65 years"
The inscription is quite worn so the above is just what I can make out.
Anne

Fergie,
My name is Ken Hill, my Gt, Gt Gt Grand parents were Peter Ferguson and Ann McNaughtan. My Gt Gt Grand Mother was Margaret Ferguson, thier daughter b 1840, she married my Gt Gt Grandfather Robert Hill in 1861 and died in Roxburgh in 1917. Their son Peter, my Gt Grandfather emigrated to Canada with his family in 1903. In the old manner I am Peter's, Margaret's, Robert's, Peter's, Peter's, David's son Kenneth, and I am understanding your post's correctly we are 1st cousins 4 times removed. I have been stuck on the Ferguson side for several years now and have some leads the most interesting is the Fersuson's were on the homestead next to my Gt Grandfather in Saskatchewan. They were always refered to as cousins but I was never able to prove a definative link. I have my work on Rootsweb world connect at the following link:
http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=kandshill_gamma&id=I01578
The information back from Peter and Ann is speculation and I have been working for at least five years off and on to confirm it. Happy to meet you. The email contact at the link is correct. Looking forward to hearing from you.
Ken Hill
Thank you Pat. That Moss Census is a brillient document. I spent ages last night looking through it and will now have to do some serious re-thinking about my ancestors location at that time. My GGG grandfather, Peter Ferguson, was born in Kincardine in 1801 and I had assumed that they lived on the moss at that time. but neither him nor his parents, Donald and Marren, are on the Moss Census in 1814 although Peter was farming ( and clearing) at Robertson Lane in 1841. So it's more head scratching and trying to figure out, if they were not on the Moss, where were they ? Fergie |
