Hector and Julia lived in the Brolas area as far as I know. They had
never had any place in Duart and the suggestion is made, I think I recall,
that the Pennycross family looked after the rather more penniless
descendants of Hector. This of course would have been one reason why
Archibald joined the army to earn money since Hector had quite a large
family.
You have a few more steps than I have. Hector is my 3X Gt Grandfather.

Hi: I am interested in finding out what ship Archibald MacLean (son of
Hector and Julia MacLean) left Mull in to come to the U.S. in 1774. In
Whyte's book of Scottish to America he states that Archibald MacLean b.
1758 sailed from Isle of Mull with the 42nd Regiment to New York. I looked
online and saw info re: two ships that sailed - one being the Oxford.
Could anyone help me find out what ship Archibald came to New York on.
Also any info about the 42nd Regiment would be great!

I also wonder where Archibald MacLean was born - his family had lost their
hold on Duart Castle at that time period.

I am trying to piece together the life of my 5 gt. grandfather.

Archibald MacLean was given land on the Nashwaak in N.B. in exchange for
fighting in the New York Volunteers - he died there on 18 Feb 1820.

Thanks!

Heather

Hi Gerry
Whilst searching through paperwork I came across a passenger list for the
Barlow. The Campbells were not on board but looks as if they did sail on
the CONRAD out of Greenock (Port of Glasgow) on 18 June 1850. Passenger
list reads
Hector Campbell age 47
John Campbell 15
Allan Campbell 17
Donald Cambell 12
Sarah Campbell 8
No mention of either Catherine (presumed decd) or Charles born 1837. Did
find record of daughter Marrian Campbell born 21.4.1842 - she and Marrian
must be one and the same with a mix up somewhere over her Christian name.

Amongst the same information was a list of people wanting to emigrate taken
23 March 1847 and Hector is listed as himself, wife, another adult and four
children. Catherine therefore must have died between March 1847 and June
1850.

The Conrad sailed with 241 on board, 74 from Mull and 167 from Tiree.

I have also come accross a copy of A HISTORY OF THE COUNTY OF GREY from
1865 which lists Hector Campbell as holding concession 11 Lot 17 in the
Township of Egremont. ou may already have this info.

Hope the above helps
Fiona

Great news that you have found some more of Hectors family.
There are 2 possible cemetarys that would have been used in the 1840s but
unfortunately they have not been fully recorded. This is a future and very
worthwhile project. I may be visiting them at some point and will look for
Catherines stone but it might not be for some time. I will let you know if
I find anything.
The weather here is turning cold and very windy of late - next time we
get a bright dry day I may take some air.
We look forward to copies of any further research which we can place
with existing material.
Regards

Fiona

Hi Shannon
Thank you so much for your info .I though for a while the Catherine born
in Benik was mine but both my cousin & I on contacting the Mcleans in
Canada we
had to think again.Your info has helped to narrow the search ie she came
from out of the Parish.Also I know Hector was a widower in 1851.She must of
died in Mull or in Glenelg, Grey County Ontario.I also know they were
Baptists.They lived in Ardtun in 1841.What cemetery would would she be
buried in if she died before they left?.She did not show on the Candian
census.
I have have come across Hectors 2nd wife and family. Jean Kinnaird also
one of Hectors has contacted me and we are working together. I will send
you all of our latest finding which can be attached to to family history I
sent to the Centre last year.

Hi Gerry
Just to let you know that Lynda has moved on and myself and Andrea
will be manning the Centre from now on.
In answer to your query I'm afraid that the only record of Hector and
Catherines marriage is a listing in the Old Parish Records and it does not
give parents details. This is all that is available for Marriages before
1855.
I could not find any record of another Catherine Fletcher in this parish.
I did however come across some more details of Catherine Mclean which you
may or may not already have-
she is buried in Rocky Saugeen Cemetry in Bentick Township and her
gravestone reads
Catherine McLean w of Hugh Fletcher Dec 10,1783-Sept 20,1875 b Mull.
Also buried there are
Alex Fletcher d Apr11,1853 age 39 yrs b Ross Mull
Elizabeth Fletcher d Dec 2,1861 age 43 years
Charles Fletcher d Jan 25,1893 aged 65 yrs w
Catherine Stewart 1848-1917
Stewart Fletcher d June 20,1879 age 2 yrs 8 ms
Alexander Fletcher 1874-1931
Donald Fletcher d 1869 age 45 yrs
Margeret Fletcher 1870-1911
Charlotte Fletcher 1883-1940

As for records of the Barlow we believe she sailed in 1849 and there may
be passenger lists held at Inverary Castle (the ancestoral home of The Duke
of Argyll) although access to these papers is extremely difficult.

Finally there is a record in the OPRs as follows
27 March 1847 Catherine Campbell died
This may be Catherine Fletcher.

I hope something here is of use to you - please keep in touch with
any more findings.

Hi Lynda

I have run into a brick wall with my Catherine Fletcher who married
Hector Campbell in 1832 Kilfinchen.I thought her parents were Hugh Fletcher
and Catherine McClean.They also had a Catherine Fletcher who married a
Alexander Stewart who drowned - her 2nd husband was Hector Mclean.They
joined Catherine Fletcher widow in Grey County Ontario.I got in touch with
the canadian Mcleans .I asked them if they knew of another Catherine
Fletcher but to no avail.Would it be possible to find a record of
Catherines and Hectors marriage document to find out who her parents were.I
know Hector was a Baptist but do not know if he was one at the time of his
marriage.

many regards Gerry

Dear Gerry
I found the marriage of Hugh Fletcher and Catherine MacLean on 6 June
1809 in Creich. Hugh Fletcher's parents were Donald Fletcher and Marion
Stewart.
Hugh & Catherine had 10 children and at least one son, John, emigrated to
Sydney, Australia in 1852. I think I have had people researching this
family, perhaps you would like to get in touch with them.
I hope you hand your family have a lovely Christmas and a happy new year -
at least you will be a lot warmer than we are just now.
Since we married 15 years ago I have always fed a minimum of 13 on
Christmas Day but this year for various reason there will only be my
husband and our 3 children. I think we will be eating turkey for 2 months.
Kind regards
Lynda

Dear Geraldine
Your package arrived safely - many thanks- I enjoyed reading it very
much. They certainly were a tough, hardworking lot who lived on Mull, as
they still are! I will have a look for any information we might have on the
Barlow.
best wishes from a very cold and stormy Bunessan

Dear Lynda
Do you have any records on the Ship Barlow which took migrants from the
ross of Mull in the 1840s to Canada? Their ultimate destination was Grey
county.I sent off my membership fee today.

Dear Geraldine
Thank you very much for your very interesting email, I look forward to
receiving your family information and photographs.
In the Old Parish record I found the following
information
15 June 1806, Ronald Campbell, Argyllshire Militia and Marion MacLean,
Creich had their legal son Hector baptised.
This may be the family you are looking for.
If you have any further queries please do not hesitate

Dear Linda I am very eager to to take up membership.I have recently
contacted my relatives in Canada who have sent me a family tree which I
would like to sent a copy to your group.I am also adding to the story.The
story begins with Hector Francis Campbell born Mull 1805 died 90 and is
buried in Lovat cemetery Bruce County Ont. Can. he married Catherine
Fletcher in Kilfinchen in 1832 but she must have died before the family
migrated in the 1840's.My ggrandfather Donald was one of the chideran.I
have a good family picture of Donald and his family which I will also
send.Right now I am following a lead of Ronald Campbell and his wife Marion
Mclean who are probably Hectors parents.Will send money and family tree and
stories.
