           Our gr-grandmother, Janet McDOUGALD was a desc. of Alexander McDOUGALD (1769-1852) who came to Lanark Co. from Scotland in 1824 with his wife Janet CLARK (1790-1860) and Janet's widowed mother, Margaret McKellar CLARK (1748-1845). They settled on Lot 13, Conc.1, N. Sherbrooke. As far as I can learn, they had a family of:

2. Duncan (a shepherd & knitter) m. Agnes TWADDLE, had a family of 3, died a young man;

I am researching the CRAWFORD/McDOUGALD side of my father's ancestors.

           John CRAWFORD, b. Scotland ca 1785, married Janet BRYCE (ca 1786-1858), came to Canada as Lanark Society Settlers in 1821. John and Janet came with their family on the ship Commerce sponsored by the Hamilton Emigration Society. They settled in Dalhousie Twp. on W 1/2 L9 C12. John CRAWFORD was a staunch Presbyterian and in 1855 set aside part of his farm for a church and burial grounds, which today is Crawford's Cemetery. Janet is buried there, I have no date as to when & where John died.

They had a family of six known children:
1. John: b. Scotland 1810. Married ? Alive and listed in the 1881 Census with his younger brother Thomas -- no info on Thomas.
