McGillivray Family

Anne McGillivray was born March 10, 1809 in Upper Phorp, Rafford, Moray, Scotland and died June 18, 1888 in Lachute, Quebec, Canada. She was a twin to Isabel. Ann married William Barron, on July 25, 1826 in Rafford, Moray, Scotland. William was born in 1797 in Moray and died December 30, 1873 in Quebec, Canada. They had the following children:

• John Barron born 1827 in Scotland, died October 21, 1894 in Lachute, Quebec, Canada, married Murray McFarlane.
• Jane Barron born January 3, 1831 in Rafford, Moray, Scotland, died June 4, 1880 in Chatham, Quebec, Canada, married 1857 in Lachute, Quebec, Canada to Thomas Todd.
• Mary Ann Barron born March 30, 1845 in Lachute, Quebec, Canada, died January 17, 1910 in Canada, married May 11, 1869 in Lachute to Robert Morrison.

Isabel/Isabella was born March 10, 1809 in Moray, Scotland. Some previous records from Canada had Isabella born in 1811. She married Thomas Stornach.

John McGillivray born April 9, 1811 in Moray, Scotland.

William McGillivray born September 4, 1814 in Moray, Scotland and died between 1842 and 1847. William married Mary Loggie on March 17, 1840 in Dalesville, Quebec, Canada at the Dalesville Baptist Church. He was a farmer from Lachute (5 miles from Dalesville) and Mary Loggie’s father had a 200 acre farm just about 3 miles west of Dalesville on range 9, lot 14. Mary was born and died April 15, 1847 in Lachute, Quebec, Canada. See below for more information on William McGillivray’s descendents.

John was born March 15, 1841 in Dalesville, Quebec and died February 13, 1893 in Staples, Minnesota. He married Mary Jane Hudson. More info on John McGillivray family>>>

James was born December 7, 1842 (probably in Quebec, Canada)

William was born December 15, 1844 (probably in Quebec, Canada) and died August 23, 1844 in Jerusalem, Quebec, Canada.

There is the possibility of yet another son, Donald McGillivray, who was born in 1816 to James MacGillivray and Annie Barren and would have been the brother of William, Sr. above. The headstone for Donald shows that he was a native of Morayshire, Scotland, the same as Annie Barren. This appears to have been the only other McGillivray family in Lachute. Donald came to Canada in 1835, the same year as William. He married Flora Loynachen, was born in Argylshire Scotland in 1813 and died on July 10, 1877. Donald died January 28, 1892 and both he and Flora are buried in the Lachute cemetery. Donald is shown in the 1842 census on the same page as William.

There is a book, “A History of Lachute” by G.R. Rigby that mentions the Barron family extensively. Thomas Barren was the first Scottish settler in 1809 and was from Morayshire. He was probably related to Anne. Thomas rapidly began to purchase all the land on which the center of Lachute now stands. He and his family dominated the Lachute area for many years.

Some pictures were found in a Barron family album and are in the possession of Joyce Jones. They have graciously allowed me to display them in the hopes that someone may recognize the people in the pictures. They are believed to be McGillivrays.

John Loggie/Logie Sr. was born in Ayrshire Scotland in 1790 in Fife, Scotland and resided in Wemyss, Fife in 1841 according to the 1841 Scotland Census. John died on July 13, 1860 in Lachute, Quebec, Canada and is buried next to his son Alexander in the Lachute cemetery about 4 miles east of Dalesville. He married January 20, 1813 at Kirkcolm, Ayrshire, Scotland to Mary McFadyen* who was born in Scotland in 1787 in Kirkcowan, Wigtownshire, Scotland to John and Mary McFadyen and died in 1888. According to the 1861 Canada Census there is a John Logie in Chatham, Argenteuil, Canada East, Canada and since John Sr. died in 1860, I assume this is his son. John and Mary settled finally in Dalesville, Lachute, Argenteuil, Quebec. There he farmed 200 acres in range nine, lot fourteen, about 3 miles west of Dalesville. The children of John Loggie and Mary McFadyen are as follows:

Jane Loggie born 1814 in Scotland and died March 24, 1847 and buried in Lachute, Quebec, Canada. She was married to Thomas Lockie, Jr.

Mary Jane Loggie born July 11, 1815 at McGounston, Kirkoswald, Ayrshire, Canada and died April 15, 1847 in Lachute. She married to William McGillivray on March 17, 1840 at the Little Baptist church in Dalesville, Quebec.
