John, William and Arthur McArthur of Perth C. 1804?

Post by Aescleah » Sat Jan 23, 2010 5:50 pm

In 1804, 7 families were brought to New Brunswick, Canada by the N.B. government. They sailed on the ship called the " Rose Ann". They were McArthurs, McVeys, Blairs, Frasers, McGregors and Kings.

John, Arthur and William McArthur, three brothers from Perthshire settled on the north bank of the Kennebecasis river. John married Christiania Blair before leaving Scotland.

That's all I've got and the Canadian records don't go back far enough to cover their landing in Saint John, NB.

Any help is very much appreciated!

and is carried about as a burden.
The many ghosts are always a part of them, inescapable."
