Hi Brother! I finally located our great (4X)
grandfather's home area in Scotland. It was misspelled in our
records. They had added an "l" which shouldn't have been there.
(Aberfoyle) Duncan and Mary (McGregor) Sinclair's gravestones are likely
there. (Callander Parish)
A map can be located on the net at:
Aberfolyle Scotland - Stirling Aberfoyle Scotland -
then click on Map
(click area north and a little west of Glasgow on
map)
(Annie, a church letter dated Aberfoyle, April 17,
1822, given to Duncan and Mary (McGregor)- wife, says "lived a great number of
years in the parish of Callander, bringing up a great family". All we have
listed is three children: Isabella - living with them; Mary - tradition
says she was burried at Glengyle; John - born Portnellan - baptised March 7,
1785, moved to Canada 1817.
