I am searching for information on the parents of Anna MACNEIL, who was born May 09, 1884 in Benacadie Pond, Cape Breton, NS. Her father's name was John MACNEIL who supposedly was from Glasgow and her mother was Mary O'DONNELL or O'DOUD. Names of Anna's siblings were Kathryn, James and Angus, although it was said that the family was much larger. Anna left home at 14 yrs. of age and emigrated to the US. Little else is known other than it was passed down that John had to work for the railroad to pay the taxes on the land. There was also a family story about 'first cousins' with Alexander Graham Bell, but the only link I can find is that a Hector MacNeil (also spelled McNeil) worked for Bell for quite some time in Baddeck. Could he have been a cousin? In searching the book, 'The MacKenzie's History of Christmas Island Parish', the only family that sounds close has a mother named Mary CONNELL, who was the first wife of a John MACNEIL. and the MacKenzie book states that the family "left the area." Any information or leads would be greatly appreciated! Mike McIntier mcintier@phnx.uswest.net .

Tom Ferguson
on Monday, April 17, 2000

I am a Ferguson descended from Doherty, Ross, McDonald and McLean. According to oral history, little is known of the Scottish origins of the Ross or McDonald sides of the family; we have a very detailed family tree, based on the recollection of my (late) great aunt. Although I have thus far been searching Nova Scotia census records for individuals and/or their family listings, little of the known oral information has been confirmed by documentary evidence. Further, we know precious little about the Doherty side of the family, and even less about the Ferguson lineage. We do know that the earliest known of our ancestors - John Ross, Neil McDonald and John Doherty - were each born in Scotland and that Ferguson is a Scottish name; we do not know anything about their respective parents, nor the town/county from where they came, nor (except for Neil in 1830) when exactly they arrived in North America, nor how (ship passage, etc.), nor why they emigrated. A potential researcher in Scotland has informed that my particular Scottish ancestors have very common names and that, in order to proceed, she needs exact locations in Scotland and dates of events which, based on the information available, I cannot provide at this time. It is, therefore, like finding a "needle in a haystack." As you review the following, can anyone offer suggestions to pursue MY John Ross, MY Neil McDonald and MY John Doherty? What we do know is that our Scottish ancestors settled in Canada or the USA: in Nova Scotia on Cape Breton Island (Victoria County in Plaster/North Shore, Englishtown and Sydney/Sydney Mines); or in Boston, Massachusetts. Here they are by generation: I. John Ross, (b. Scotland ca 1814) became a farmer in the Englishtown area of Cape Breton. He had two sons with his wife Mary (surname Marey? or Montgomery? also b. Scotland ca 1823): first son Donald Ross (b. 1850 St Ann's, Victoria County, NS); second son John Ross (b. 1852 St Ann's, Victoria County, NS). So the naming pattern is John, Donald, John. In seaching for John Ross's parents, are we therefore looking for another Donald Ross who preceded our 1814 John Ross? For farmers living in Englishtown, would the births of children in St Ann's be normal given time/distance considerations? According to the 1871 Englishtown Cape Breton census, one Isabella Montgomery age 70 (b Scotland 1801) and one Sarah Ross age 45 (b Scotland ca. 1826) "resided in John Ross's household". No mention is made of Isabella on the 1881 census in the John Ross household where Sarah was recorded as Sarah Ross Ferguson. However, an Isabella Montgomery age 80 is listed in the household of John Montgomery (an Englishtown neighbor of John Ross) in 1881. Could this be Isabella's son? Further, no mention is made of John and Mary Ross or of Sarah or Isabella on the 1891 census (presumably they had moved or died). Based on the 1871 census alone, I had speculated that Sarah was John Ross's younger sister and that Isabella (maiden name Montgomery) was the mother of John and Sarah Ross living in John's household. Based on the 1881 census listings I am now wondering: could Isabella (m surname Montgomery) have been Mary Ross's mother living in the senior John's extended family household (or visiting) at the time of the 1871 census? that Mary's maiden name was Montgomery? that Isabella was living in her son John Montgomery's extended family household (or visiting) at the time of the 1881 census? "None of the women in the (John Ross) household could read or write." It is my contention that the elder John Ross may have emigrated Scotland to Cape Breton either in his father's family or else with his own extended family intact sometime before his own sons Donald and John were born St Ann's (1850 and 1852 respectively). Any thoughts anyone? II. I also have the names of the children of John and Mary Ross: In 1871, Donald Ross and brother John Ross, both "fishermen and single, lived in the household of John Ross" their father. Based on the 1881 census from Englishtown: Donald Ross was single, a farmer/fisherman residing in his father's household which at that time also included the family of son John Ross. By 1891, Donald is no longer listed in Englishtown; his brother John, then head of household, continued to reside there as his own family grew (but without the senior John Ross, Mary Ross, Isabella Montgomery or Sarah Ross). a. Donald Ross (first marriage: 2 girls; and second marriage: 5 girls): (1) As of the 1881 Englishtown census, Donald was a farmer and still resided in his father John's household. Donald moved in the 1880s to Cow Bay/Port Morien, became a miner (probably coal), and married McIntosh (who died after 2d daughter Christine Ross/later Morrison was born 1888). Donald's children from 1st wife (given name unknown, surname McIntosh): (a) Kate Ross Pentecost (Kate married a Pentacost, first name unknown, had four children, Donald Ross's grandchildren [Danny, Wilbur, Mildred, David], and lived in Sydney). Can anyone identify? (b) Christine Ross Morrison (Christine b 1888, married a Dan Morrison but had no children, and lived in French River). (2) By early 1891, Donald Ross was a miner and widower with two daughters. On May 1, 1891, he married Christine McDonald (from North Shore) in North Sydney. Donald's children from 2d wife, Christine McDonald (with spouse; known location): (a) Mary Ann Ross Chase, b. 1892 (married Fred Chase; Danvers, MA) (b) Margaret Isabella Ross Drown, b. 1893 (married George Lester Drown; Jamaica Plain, MA) (c) Johnena Ross Doherty, b. 1895 (married William Henry Doherty; Danvers, MA) (d) Cassie Ross, b. 1896 (Montreal, Ontario) (e) Jessie Ross Coburn, b. 1897 (married Joseph Coburn; National City/San Diego, CA) b. John Ross, fisherman/farmer, m Margaret (surname unknown); their children (2 boys and 3 girls): (1) Danny Ross (2) John Ross (thus, naming pattern is John-John-John) (3) Jessie Ross Ploff (married a Ploff, first name unknown) (4) Margaret Ross (5) Catherine Ross III. Here are some more of my ancestors, Neil McDonald (b. Scotland Aug 12, 1828) married Margaret McLean (b. Sep 10, 1838 NS (rural?). Neil was a farmer and resided in the Plaster/North Shore area of Cape Breton Island. He had "arrived from Scotland 1830" at the age of almost 2. Neil and Margaret had seven children (six girls & 1 boy) all b. NS.

I'm looking for a Frank MacNeil You would think with a name that common, it would be easy, but noooo. Frank E. MacNeil is listed as having been born in Belfonte, PA about 1883. His father, Frank MacNeil is listed as having a birth place of Cape Breton. I've been through the 1871 Cape Breton census, and have found no Franks at all. One guess is that perhaps that is short for Francis, of which there are several in the census. I don't have a lot of details that far back, and am trying to see if I can work both ways. Frank MacNeil married Unknown Children: Frank E. Macneil (perhaps others, no known siblings) Frank E. MacNeil married Gertrude L. Spence and had children: Elisabeth, Jane, Robert Eileen, Elaine, Ethel, Richard and Dana. Any help would be appreciated. .
