John MacDonald (1780-1830) married Ann Graham ( 1780-1853) and lived in Upper Shader, Isle of Lewis. They had five children, Catherine (b. 1811), Roderick (b, 1814), Angus (b. 1817), Mary (b. 1818) and Margaret (b. 1821).
Catherine married John Graham and they emigrated to the Eastern Townships of Quebec but then moved to Bruce County about 1855. They lived on Con. 8 Lot 28 Huron Township.
Roderick married Henrietta 'Effie' MacLeay in 1844. They came to Huron Township in 1851 and settled on Con. 8 Lot 27.
Angus never married.
Mary married Donald MacDonald and remained in Upper Shader.
Margaret married Murdo MacLeod of 20 Arnol, Isle of Lewis.
Taking a closer look at Roderick, he had a family of seven children. John (b. 1847) married Mary Morrison, Bella (b. 1849) married John W. MacIver, Annie (b.1852), Margaret (b. 1854) married John D. MacDonald, Mary (b. 1857) never married, Richard (b. 1859) remains a mystery, and Colin (b. 1859) first married Jane 'Ann' Murray and after her death married Catherine MacDonald.
John MacDonald and Mary Morrison lived on Con 8 Lot 27 and had a family of seven children.
John's brother Colin had five children with his first wife and lived on Con 8 Lot 27. Colin had a child, Annie Jane, with his second wife, but she died in infancy.
The descendants of these MacDonalds are still in Bruce County as well as other place in Canada.

Malcolm MacDonald who had been married to Margaret Gillis in Lewis emigrated to Antigonish County, Nova Scotia in 1804 with three children: John, Catherine (who died within sight of Pictou), and Angus, from whom I'm descended.
I have detailed information back as far as Nova Scotia, but once on the boat - the only ship I could find which travelled from Lewis to Pictou in 1804 has no info on the numerous persons with these names. I can't track anything with any certainty once in Scotland. There are hundreds and hundreds of us descendents living in Canada.
