I have enjoyed the discussion on Margaret Montgomery. She and Rev Thomas MacKay are my 5th great grandparents. I have no further info on the Montgomerys as has been posted.
My link is through their daughter, Harriet MacKay, who married Rev George Gordon. A daughter, Margaret Gordon, 1803-1829, married, as his 2nd wife,  James William (Willoughby) Anderson, surgeon of Brora and Golspie. A few yeasr after Margaret passed on, James emigrated to Pictou, NS Canada in 1832.

A fine day to all!

Mary Gordon, 1682-1725 (m to Alexander Anderson 1676-1754) is my 6th g gmother. My Anderson line from Peterhead went to Sutherland - with the son of William Anderson and Margaret Squire of Brora, James William Anderson, surgeon, emigrating to Pictou, NS in 1832. James William Anderson, 1772-1868, and his 2nd wife, Margaret Gordon, 1803-1829 of Golspie, are my 3rd g grandparents.
Margaret Gordon's ancestors were connected to the Gordons of Dunrobin, Sutherland. Her father was Rev. George Gordon of Lairg. They are part of the Gordons of Huntly, from which a branch went to Sutherland in the 1500s.
One ancestral line from that bunch is Alexander Gordon, 1552-1594, and Lady Jean Gordon. 1546-1629.... my 11th great grandparents.  They were related to each other via the Gordons of Huntly who were actually Setons that acclaimed the name Gordon to retain inheritances.

Sutherland / Re: Adam Gordon & family(c1780) - Brick Wall

 I am ok going forward with descendants. It is the ancestral link of the Gordons going back to the 1700s with which I have trouble.
I believe they are of the Dunrobin Gordons.
(one line was called Sutherland, but still of Gordon ancestry until the 1839s.)

On the MacKay line i am  linked to Huistean 13th Chief Mackay, 1561-1614 and his wife, Lady Jane Gordon, 1574-1615. Her parents were: Alexander Gordon and Jean Gordon. Both their lines go back to the Gordons of Huntly.

A fine day to al!
My 5th great gparents were Harriet MacKay, daughter of Rev. Thomas MacKay, and Rev George Gordon of Loth, 1765-1822. His father was Adam Gordon and Adam's father was George Gordon of Dunrobin. No links of George's ancestors.
