Family Tree Maker's Genealogy Site: User Home Pages: The Duncan McLeod Family Home Page


Our pioneer, Duncan McLeod, with his brother John, emigrated from Clanranald Territory, Inverness County, in the Western Highlands of Scotland. All our research points to their origins as being the Isle of Eigg and sailing to Nova Scotia/Cape Breton sometime in the late 1820's. They first settled a few lots east of present day, St. Margaret of Scotland Church on River Denys Mountain, Inverness County, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Canada. A monument now stands at the church in their memory and in the memory of all the pioneer settlers. Duncan and his wife, Isabelle Gillis, later resided on Dunmore Road, in Port Hood and lastly in Mull River. All the descendants of Duncan and Isabelle eventually departed Cape Breton for the Boston States with several moving westward to Montana and the State of Washington. We are actively researching the following surnames: McLEOD, MacISAAC, MacFARLANE, MacDOUGALL, MacINNIS, MacDONELL, GILLIS and BEATON. Our MacIsaac and MacFarlane ancestors both came from Glen Moidart, Inverness County, Scotland. This is also within the bounds of Clanranald lands. In the year of 1801, they arrived aboard different vessels, the Nora and Dove respectively. Within a short time they both settled at South River, Antigonish County, Nova Scotia. Our family lines later moved onto Broad Cove Banks and Margaree Harbour, Cape Breton and later, some went onto Bay St. George, Newfoundland. We have significant research data on hand and would love to share information with anyone researching Catholic Highlanders, in Inverness County, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, Bay St. George, Newfoundland and indeed, from Clanranald Territory in Scotland.
