Arthur and Margaret had 5 sons, Arthur, Robert, Thomas, Samuel and Alexander. Arthur, the younger, immigrated to the adelaide, london ontario area via quebec . They helped homestead this area and there still is a presbyterian church there that they donated land for. Alexander, md. Mary McClurdy, we are pretty sure immigrated to nova scotia and had 5 children, 4 girls and 1 boy. No other information on the other 3 boys including samuel . Although, documentation is very scarce , the Conkey line is part of the clan robertson (clan donnachaidh) and there is a good chance they came from scotland after they were defeated by james the first in the early 1600's
