Great to meet you as well.

Well I got a bit of a thrill when I read your reply.  Your John McGregor may bring us a few generations closer than you realise.  It's going to send me trawling throught the copious amount of McGregor genealogy records I have.  You see the Charles McGregor I mentioned had 3 sons, James , John and Peter.  I decend from James and I have traced Peter and am in touch with his decendants.  I have a great pile of information on 'Johns' but like you was never 100 per cent sure which one was the right one.  Any information you can share would be GREATLY appreciated as it will narrow down the possibilities.  I am very happy to share any information that will help you as well as spend the time chasing the John connection, if there is one.  

Picture just came in thank you

I picked up this thread doing a general search and thought I could add a little to the picture for you.

The James Fleming you mention living at Keppoch is my great by 5 grandfather.  His daughter Janet was the spouse of Charles McGregor who was the Tacksman of a farm named Delavorar which is close by Keppach (or Keppoch as it is often written).
 
Re:the marriage record you have of the marriage between James Fleming and Ann Cameron. 

James' father James Cameron was married to Janet Cameron (the missing name). Their children in order of birth were Janet, Jean (Jane), James, Elizabeth (Elspet), Angus and Robert.

The Robert McGregor of Delavorar is the younger brother of Charles (above) and therefore BIL of Janet and Robert her brother.  Charles died in 1831 and Janet in 1889.  Their four children were born in the 1820s so would have been first cousins of the children born to James and Anne Gordon.

I haven't done a focused search on the Camerons and Flemings (yet) so have no other information for them before that noted here.  I am currently transcribing BMDs for Tomintoul in an effort to untangle all the related families (as well as the various spellings e.g. Fleeming !!).  I may get there one day!

I hope this adds a little to your picture of the community that was heavily interrelated!  In fact we may find that Janet Cameron (my great by 5 grandmother) was another Glenbucket relative as ties between families were often cemented through marriage. There is also McHardy links by marriage through Charles' grandmother.  Her sister married a McHardy.

Darwin, I am also curious about the photo of Lily Mcgregor you use.  Any chance this lady married into the same McGregor family ?
