Angus, I appreciate your suggestions. Thank you.
I didn't think that there would be any church records, but felt that I should check. I realize that some of these relatives (especially those listed later) weren’t born in South Uist. The list is rather long, but I don’t want to err by omission. I would greatly appreciate if any interested readers of this post might be able to steer me in the right direction for any historical information.
Some of my distant Scottish ancestors who may hail from South Uist are:
Neil and Jane MacDonald South Uist, Invernessshire (emigrated in 1772 on the Queen of Greenoch)
John "Little John" (Morar) MacDonald b. Morar, Invernesshire, Scotland
Angus Campbell from ?
Ronald (Morar) MacDonald b. ca. 1720, Morar, Invernesshire, Scotland, m. Flora MacKinnon
Flora MacKinnon b. ca. 1720
Alexander Fisher b. ca. 1750, occupation Carpenter, m. in Scotland, Christina (Officer) MacDonald
b. May 14, 1755, Achnancolcheau (??), Lochabar, Scotland
Angus (Spry Cove) MacDonald b. Scotland
Archibald (Officer) MacDonald b. Sept. 20, 1757, Achnancolcheau (??), Lochabar, Scotland, m. Isabella MacDonald
Donald (East Point) Beaton b. July 20, 1746, Athlauchrach, Lochaber, Scotland, christened: Cappach, Lochabar married …Mary (Morar) MacDonald b. 1764, Morar, Invernesshire
Other 3rd Great Grandparents
Joseph MacPhee and Jane MacLean
Angus MacCormack born in Frobost, South Uist 1750
4th great grandparent
Dugald MacCormack, born between 1700-1725, Boisdale, South Uist
MOST OF THE PEOPLE FROM THE THE FOLLOWING LIST WOULD NOT BE FROM SOUTH UIST. I WOULD TAKE THE “LAIRD AND CHIEF’ DESIGNATIONS WITH A FEW GRAINS OF SALT
Alexander (Laird of Morar??) MacDonald #147834 m. (1) Anne (Sleat) MacDonald, m. (2) Mary (Kinlochmoidart) MacDonald. Alexander died after 1726.
Mary (Kinlochmoidart) MacDonald She was the 3rd. daughter of Major Ranald MacDonald, 3rd. Laird of Kinlochmoidart
Madeline \"or Magdalen\" Fraser b. April 16, 1731, Scotland, d. 1768, Scotland
Angus (Officer Angus) MacDonald b. January 1, 1727, Achnancolcheau, Lochabar, Scotland, lived in: St Peters Lake, occupation Captain, m. (1) 1751, Madeline \"or Magdalen\" Fraser, m. (2) 1768, in Scotland, Janet \"Johanna\" MacDonald. Angus died ca. 1806, Prince Edward Island, Canada, interred: Prince Edward Island, Canada. He came before 1776 and made his will in 1802. He had rented the estate of Borodale on South Uist where Prince Charles Edward landed in 1745 to begin his unsuccessful effort to regain Scotland from England. It would appear that he was the 5th. Laird of Achanancoichean (??)
Alexander (Lochaber) Beaton #145175 b. Lochaber, Scotland, lived in: Scotland, m. Jessie Flora Cameron #145179. Alexander died Scotland
Jessie Flora Cameron was a sister of Aonghius Dubh Cameron. Oral history states that she was ill from the long crossing from Scotland and that when she arrived on the Island, she was carried ashore, into her son Donald\'s house. She supposedly died without her feet ever touching P.E.I. soil.
. Iain Dubh \"Black John\" MacKinnon #201082 b. 1682, m. (1) Penelope Sharpe, m. (2) Janet MacLeod. Iain died 1753. He was the 17th. Chief of Clan MacKinnon. He was a part of the 1715 uprising and rose again with Prince Charles Edward in 1745. He was imprisoned from 1746 to 1747
