An Elgin Menzies (daughter to Menzies of Culdares) was married to a Duncan McNaughton (described as being 'in Meggernie'). Susan McNaughton married Alexander Cameron (a schoolmaster at Camghouran). Susan and Alexander had two daughters named Elgin - the first lived 1790-1800 and the 2nd was born in 1804. There must be some family link between Duncan McNaughton and Susan McNaughton. Going by the fact that Elgin seems to have been the first born daughter of Susan then Duncan McNaughton and Elgin Menzies were probably the parents of Susan McNaughton.

The Elgin Cameron who died in 1948 was the daughter of Duncan Cameron and Christian (sometimes written as Christina) McNaughton. Duncan's parents were Donald Cameron and Margaret Cameron. Christian McNaughton's parents were John McNaughton and Margaret McNaughton.

I'm actually descended from William McNaughton who was the illegitimate son of William McNaughton and Euphemia Duff. William was brought up by George and Euphemia though. And as he named his eldest son George, I guess he saw George Crawford as his dad.

I know of only ten kids to George Crawford and Euphemia Duff though.

Hi

I'd be glad to share information with you. Oddly enough, my great-grandmother (my grandad's mother-in-law) was also a Cumming but hers were from Ayrshire, and so I don't think there was any connection with the Cummings who married into the Cunninghams.

Hi

Euphemia Crawford Cumming, who married William John Pearson, was the (half) 2nd cousin of my grandfather, Robert McNaughton as they had the same great-grandmother Euphemia Duff. Euphemia gave birth to my great-great grandfather before she married George Crawford.

I've got quite a lot of information on the various descendants of George Crawford and Euphemia Duff - and there's a lot of them!  :) Any additional information would be great though.
