You may have some fun investigating Sir John A. MacDonald

Hi first wife was an Isabella Clark, who appears to be about a decade older than yours. Your Clark's are a candidate as cousins/relatives of her. While Sir John was born in Glasgow, his parents came from the area near Petty. A lot of similar names in his family and yours.

My ancestor, Angus MacDonald, would have been a shipmate of Nathan Rumbelow(Ironic name) serving under Admiral Rodney. I saw a newspaper article discussing a Mr. Turner, who claimed to be the last surviving person serving under Rodney. I think Nathan Rumbelow beat him by a year or two. What did he do for a living after he returned home?

No, don't assume that at all. But, keep an open mind about marriage and birth of children happening elsewhere. There was a fair bit of movement. I think its perhaps a good clue from Theresa Keene above. I would investigate. I know there were other Hurley's and Hay's in Bathurst at the time, and also on the Gaspe.

Thanks Annie for posting,

Very interesting from my standpoint. My direct ancestor who emmigrated was Catholic, but the evidence is emerging that some immediate family members were Protestant. So, I have spent a lot of time figuring out what subbranches of ClanRanald where Catholic and which were Protestant.

There are clusters of MacLean's on the moidart mainland in two tacks, Egnaig and Glenuig. Some came to Pictou, Nova Scotia in 1791.
And clusters of MacEachern's around Loch Ailort.
This results from Ranald 1 of Benbecula obtaining land around Ardnish, Essan, Loch Ailort, Glenuig, Egnaig, from his nephew, chief of Clanranald.
Probably why MacIsaacs are clustered around Glenuig and Egnaig.
Probably why MacGillivray's are clustered around Loch Ailort.

Inverness / Re: Protestant records for South Uist 1780-1830

My MacDonald ancestors were cousins to your Boisdale's. Hugh's grandfather, Colin, bought the Isle of Ulva off the Isle of Mull, so its likely a fair number of Mull MacDonalds were originally Boisdales. It seems the Boisdale estates were foreclosed around 1839 after years of litigation.

Hugh's great grandfather, Alexander, 1st of Boisdale, who died in 1768, does have a will that can be purchased online.

There is  Donald Clark who is a minister on the Isle of Mull in the 1871 census, aged 50, which matches the Donald Jr. you mention.

Yes, I am researching the above. The children of John and Mary McLucais in the 1841 census of Mull reside in Ontario, Canada in 1861 under the name McDougal is my belief.
