Ontario Canada

This book traces the roots of certain Kennedys, MacDiarmids, Munros, and other Scottish families who settled in the counties of Glengarry and Stormont in the easternmost part of the province of Ontario. The Munros descended from David and Nancy Munro who remained loyal to England after the American War of Independance. They were given a land grant in Canada. The Kennedys descended from Hugh Kennedy, who immigrated in 1903-1904, perhaps as a disbanded soldier. Most of the MacDiarmids and McDermids of this book came between 1795-1805. Includes related families.

Volume 1, p. 497-678 and all of volume 2 contain biographies.

This illustrated collection offers a wealth of data on slavery, abolition, the Underground Railroad, providing unique insights into the African-Canadian heritage in Ontario.
