• Notes

  From Notes in Museum in Stoneybridge Area of S.Uist obtained by Jim MacIsaac on 8/1/1994: "On 23 August 1849 three ships, the Alantic, the Tusker, and the Mount Stuart, sailed from South Uist. The Tusker made the trip to the St.Lawrence in six weeks, and Fr. John Chisholm accompanied them. They settled in an area of Ontario which they called Bornish. They built the first church in Bornish, Ontario in 1853, and opened the first school in the same year with enrollment of 100 pupils and Ronald MacIntyre as teacher." All evidence indicates that Neil and his entire family were on one of these ships. From Clan Donald library at Armadale Castle in Skye, the following record was found by Jim MacIsaac on 8/1/1994: "6287 McEachin, Neil. b.1800. From Stoneybridge, Is South Uist.
