Another Hugh Ferguson  b. ca 1770 also lived in Urachyle or Urachoile, Strath Brora, Clyne.   His spouse was Janet Sutherland.  Three of his children,  Elspeth, 1795,  Alexander 1800 and Barbara, emigrated to Earltown, Nova Scotia in 1821.  Earltown was settled by approximately100 families from Clyne, Rogart and Dornoch.
Hugh had a brother George who was the miller at Kilpheddermore, Clyne.  George was married to Catherine Graham of Urachyle.   George died of cancer in 1817 after which his widow and five children emigrated to Earltown.

Sutherland / Re: Two Sutherland area families

The Margaret Campbell, born 1798, and daughter of Robert Campbell and Margaret MacIntosh, appears to be the Margaret Campbell who married  Donald Murray of Reachar in 1819.  He was son of William Murray and Grace Grant.   Donald and Margaret together with their young children emigrated to Pictou in 1831 or 1832 and settled at Loganville, Pictou County, Nova Scotia.  Margaret died in 1845 of lockjaw.  There are numerous descendents of this family in Canada and Northeastern United States.
There was a distant connection betweem Margaret with the Campbell's of Rogart Parish.

Donald Murray's sister, Janet, came to Nova Scotia in 1812.  She was married to Alexander MacIntosh of Dornoch parish.
