    From Margaret Cameron of Long Sault


    . Archie Corribuie's wife(Nancy Maclean) was probably a cousin(Lochbuie's)to the...Ann(Nancy) the wife of Johnny Archie. I hope tosort this out.

  1. 8.  Ewen(Hugh) (of Corriebuie & Lochiel) Macmillan (son of Ewen (of Corriebuie) Macmillan and Annie McDonald); and died.

    Notes:

    "It is this writer's opinion that Ewen, second son of John MacMillan inLagganfern, was progenitor of the Corriebuie branch. Corriebuie lies onthe south-west side of Loch Quoich and was mainly possessed by MacPhees.Ewen MacMillan had a son Allan, who was living at Landavra in 1779, andin early 1800 he took action against john Cameron of Corriechoillebecause the drovers of the latter were being blamed for carrying awaysome of MacMillan's live stock. Ewen MacMillan of Corriebuie, possibly agrandson of Ewen from Lagganfern, and his wife and children emigrated toGlengarry, Canada in 1802." (p88, chapter "The Macmillan of Corriebuie"in "Bygone Lochaber" by Somerled MacMillan. 1971 (Printed for privatecirculation)


    "Neil (Corribuie)MacMillan's father(Daniel Lochiel MacMillan) alsodescended from Angus MacMillan of Callich(1766-1841).whose daughter,Marjory(b. c 1809), married Ewen (Corriebuie) MacMillan. In my records,it states that Ewen (Lochiel/Corribuie) MacMillan was the son of EwenMacMillan and Annie McDonald. (I am not certain what year the familysettled in Finch from Lochiel Township). " From Margaret Cameron

    Ewen(Hugh) + Marjorie Macmillan. Marjorie (daughter of Angus (of Callich & 20-1 & 14-3 Finch) Macmillan and Margaret (of Corriebheg) Macmaster) was born in 1809; died in 1890. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  2. 9.  Marjorie Macmillan was born in 1809 (daughter of Angus (of Callich & 20-1 & 14-3 Finch) Macmillan and Margaret (of Corriebheg) Macmaster); died in 1890.

    Notes:

    "Marjory(1809-1890) married Ewen(Hugh) MacMillan of Corriebuie (TheCorriebuie MacMillans were not closely related to the Callich/GlenpeanMacMillans). Corriebuie was nearer to Loch Gary.) Marjory is A.Millard's ancestor through her grandfather, Dan MacMillan."

  3. 12.  John Macmillan (son of Angus (of Callich & 20-1 & 14-3 Finch) Macmillan and Margaret (of Corriebheg) Macmaster); and died.

    Notes:

    "John married daughter of Donald Cameron Lot 21-4 (Cameron SchoolFinchClunes) and Nancy (Ann) Cameron (my gtgts)
    (The above is taken from notes by Ak, JG, Sadie, and Cassie)

    The following are from family records in reference to John MacMillan, sonof Angus MacMillan of Callich, Lot 20-1 Finch:

    JOHN MacMillan(This family was known as the Widow MacMillans), son ofAngus of Callich, Lot 20-1 Finch married the daughter of Donald Cameron,killed March 1809(Clunes), Lot 21-4 Finch (The Cameron School) and Nancy(Ann) Cameron(Inveruis.)b. c1779. I think John's wife's name was Mary(her name is not listed in the family records but I did have her name ina file which I lost a few years ago, but I think it was Mary, notNancy). Their children were:

    1) John
    2) Alexander
    3) Ewen(Hugh)
    4) Donald
    5) Duncan'

    from Margaret Cameron, Box 621, Long Sault, Ontario KOC 1PO

    John + Catharine (Mary) Cameron. Catharine (daughter of Donald (Clunes of 21-4 Finch) Cameron and Ann (Nancy) "The Red Widow" Cameron) and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]


  4. 13.  Catharine (Mary) Cameron (daughter of Donald (Clunes of 21-4 Finch) Cameron and Ann (Nancy) "The Red Widow" Cameron); and died.

    Notes:

    "What I have sent to you has been typed from family records. I was'creative' about the name of Donald Cameron's(my gtgt)and his wife's(Nancy's) one daughter who married John MacMillan, son of Angus MacMillanof Callich, Lot 20-1 Finch, because she was described only 'as thedaughter of'' my gtgts. ... Other than the name 'Mary' all the otherinformation is from the older members of my family and is correct." (19Feb 2003)

    Clifford McRae(now deceased), my cousin, and Kenny MacMillan were lovelygentlemen but, unfortunately, did make errors in family lines. EleanorMacLean moved into Finch c 1944/5 as a Public Health nurse, unrelated tothe area and the relationships."

    However
    "Clifford might have been correct about the name of Donald Cameron andNancy Cameron's daughter as being 'Catharine', who was married to JohnMacMillan(this is the line that later became known as 'the WidowMacMillans'.) son of Angus of Callich. I was unsure of her name, becauseit was not written down, and I lost my father's papers but had typedtranscripts and family records from my cousin.. although I thought hername was 'Mary'. That was the one name that was missing from the familytree."

    "I don't have any daughters listed for John MacMillan (son of Angus) andhis wife, but that doesn't mean that there weren't any daughters. "
    from Margaret Cameron, Box 621, Long Sault, Ontario KOC 1PO
