Grahams of North Galson, Lewis

Angus Graham and Jane MacIver had three sons Kenneth (1776-1860), who married Margaret Graham, Donald (1778-1853), who married Catherine Nicholson and John (1779-1967), who married Catherine Morrison. I descend from John through his daughter Kirsty.
Of the children of Kenneth Graham and Margaret Graham, three sons Donald, William and Norman emigrated to Canada during the "clearing" of North Galson in 1863.
Donald, son of Kenneth, married Catherine MacDonald and settled in Goderich, Huron County, Ontario. His son John Graham migrated to Duluth, Minnesota and married Carrie Omestead.
Some of his descendants are still there.
William, son of Kenneth, went to Saulte Ste. Marie, Chippewa, Michigan by 1880. I have not been able to locate ant living descendants as yet. A number of William's children married and had families, so there must be descendants still in Michigan.
It is an on-going search.
