Argyllshire / Re: Deserted Settlements of Glassary Parish

@JLitmore,
Your Margaret Currie Galbraith seems to be a lot like https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/93835564/margaret-galbreath
There were many from Glassary amongst the Talbot Settlement in and around Elgin County, Ontario.
My family had Galbraith neighbors in Dutton, circa 1910.
One of these (John Kenneth G.) became quite famous as JFK's economic guru and as author of The Scotch.
The library there is now named for him.

Anyone interested in this parish should read "A History of the Glassary Stewarts", especially if they have Stewart ancestors.  It was written by my third cousin, Alexander Stewart.  Sadly it is out of print, but the book is in the National Library of Scotland, as well as the British Library.

The families mainly lived at Dunamuck, Druim, Ballimore, Auchoish, Auchinbreck and Achnaba.

That book is available online at https://familysearch.org/search/catalog/839818

Hi Martin,
Any mention of the McArthur or McKillop names prior to 1790?
I have Catherine McArthur b.1760 m.1784 Donald McKillop b.1760 both were supposedly b. in Glassary Parish but no idea where.
