Hi Jo.
Thanks for posting your information on Angus & Janet Beaton -
Kinlochscridain in 1851. I am wondering if Angus Beaton was a connection of
William Beaton & Cathrine McFee (1774-1834). William had at least one
brother and possibly two sisters - whose names aren't mentioned in the
Beaton history unfortunately.
My gr. grandmother was Flora Beaton, dau. of William & Cathrine, who
married Neil McGillivray Jr. (last known McGillivray address - Ardalanish).

Kate Price and I have been trying to find out how William's son Hector
Beaton, who married Rachel MacIntyre Sidey in Pickering, Ont. Canada, were
connected to a Nicol MacIntyre family. Rachel was a cousin of Hector's
apparently. Hector worked in Glasgow and taught on the Isle of Mull before
emigrating to Canada in 1830.
One brother, Donald Beaton, remained in Glasgow when the rest of the
family came to Canada. I have often wondered if the singer, Alex Beaton who
grew up in Glasgow, was descended from Donald Beaton. He bears quite a
resemblance to my No. 4 son Campbell and seems to have the "Beaton Hair" -
i.e. white, or almost so, by the age of 35 or so.

This certainly gets confusing after a while. It makes my head spin every
time I see a new line of Beatons or McGillivrays.
Thanks again for the information.
