Hi, I live in Dryden, Ontario and am the great grand daughter of the James Louttit that you mention. I can tell you that the information on the death record in question is incorrect. His father was Peter Louttit and his mother was Jane Marcette or Marcelle. James Louttit was married to Jane Linklater. Her mother's name was Isabella Potts or the Cree name of Pattukaapun (many variations of this spelling) So William, who made this declaration was mistaken. I remember my Gt Gr mother Jane Linklater very well. James Louttit only had one arm and no one in our family knows the story behind this. They raised a large family (12 children) here in Dryden, after they left James Bay. A couple of years ago I visited Moosonee and Moose Factory and was allowed to photocopy the parish records. It was a goldmine! I have in my hand a copy of the marriage certificate of Peter Louttit and Jane Marcette -m 10 jul 1855-Moose Factory. It CLEARLY shows her name to be Jane Marcette and she signed her name as Jane Marcette. I'm not sure how the name evolved to Marcella but I know it did. There is no other information that I have for her. My aunt has been doing the genealogy for this family for many years but now is unable to continue due to age. I'm trying to add to what she has started. I am looking for the link to Scotland but can't seem to yet. I hope this helps you out a bit. Oh yes, James Louttit was a Scotch Cree and his wife Jane Linklater although herself also a Scotch Cree was admitted as a Dominion Indian with full status. James Louttit opted for the scrip of land and then never received it. Both Louttit and Linklater are named as "loyal Hudson Bay servants" in "Treaty 9 Book"
