    Notes:

    “It was, I think, while they [Neil & Sarah] were still living in Scotland that my great grandparents “left the church”. The cause for the break was the clergymans sermon on the occasion of their going to church after the loss of a baby - who had not been baptised. Neil arose during the sermon so clearly directed at them, took his wife and walked out. He never went back nor did Sarah until after his death - and the family grew up without church affiliations.” - Elliot Evans

    Grandfather McKay [Neil McKay] lost in being swindled in a real estate scam in Canada in 1860’s. Then they went to Michigan where they stayed for 12 years or more. He was in the lumber business there, burned out twice in forest fires of 1861 and 1871. They saved themselves by going to the river and covering the little ones with the mud - all over their eyes. It dried in the heat and kept eyes from being harmed.

    Neil was a highlander from Aberdeen and Sarah was a Lowland girl from Sutherland County (they spoke different Scottish accents).

    Neil was in the Riyal Scots Grey regiment in Scotland.

    In Michigan (Huron County), Neil served as a supervisor, assessor and one term as Justice of the Peace.
