Argyllshire / Re: Where is Caolasraide or Coalasraide, Argyll?
« on: Friday 30 January 15 05:01 GMT (UK) »
Thanks Mary and Ian
After I made the posting I found and downloaded a map from Wikipedia (search Argyll) of Argyllshire from the 1850's and Loch Lomond is not part of Argyllshire so looks like that supports Tarbert with an R, Did not see Caolasraide on the map.
Mary - a cousin of mine has our pedigree being Fletcher of Dunan's going back to the chiefs. Not my research so am accepting it at face value. No question of being from Argyll though as the predominate family names are Archie, Duncan and Donald on this side of the Atlantic!
Ian Yes I am a Caradoc/Lobo Fletcher descendant although I live on the south edge of St. Thomas now. Lots of Cousins between Komoka and Poplar Hill
My immigrating ancestors Archibald Fletcher and Margaret Crawford are buried in the Lamont cemetery on the Lamont farm on the caradoc lobo townline (yes it would have a different road name now). The Lamonts that own the farm are also fletcher descendants. My dad tells me that the original Scottish settlers of that immediate area called their community Culloden though it seems no village ever came about for the name to stick to.
Archie ,Margaret , their 2 oldest children immigrated with Margaret's four brothers Dugald, Malcolm, Archibald, and Dr. Allen Crawford. The Crawford's father was Malcolm Crawford who immigrated later. Margaret Crawford Fletcher is my great great grandmother but it seems that the Fletchers have lost Family "consciousness" of any Crawford cousins.
