Hello from Canada!
I'm on the hunt for where my researching of the McMurchy line stops dead in Kintyre.
Sooo, essentially a group of McMurchy's departed Scotland from the Killean/Kilchenzie area ~1825, ending up in Maple, Ontario, Canada. How they got to North of Toronto from a route/ship standpoint - unknown at this time. I have a James McMurchy(ie) who married a Martha Malloy on 12 Dec 1820 in the Kilchenzie area (location unknown).
James McMurchy
b. ~1801 Killean & Kilchenzie Parish
d. 19 Feb 1854 in Vaugh Twp, Ont Canada
Martha Malloy
b. 9 Apr 1800 Campbelltown
d. 26 Feb 1848 Vaughn Twp, Ont Canada
I know that Martha Malloy was d/o Neil Malloy & Isabella Watson, s/o Malcolm Milloy. Neil Malloy and James McMurchy farmed across the road from each other in Maple, Ontario Canada.
What I need help from my Scottish (and worldwide) friends is to crack the father of James McMurchy mystery. Who was he? That finding will open the door to finding out James' siblings, and hopefully a "boatfull" of more McMurchy's/MacMurchy's/McMurchies that I can call family.
Any information at all (regardless of how petty it may be) would be greatly appreciated. Help me crack the code!!
Cheers!
