Glenalladale settlers 1772: Scotland to St John's Island (PEI)
Description : 03 Apr, 2023
If there is a Scots Catholic "Mayflower" for Prince Edward Island, surely it is the "Alexander". The arrival of some 214 Highland Catholics at Scotchfort in the summer of 1772 launched a chain migration from the Western Highlands and Islands - from places such as Morar and Moidart, South Uist, Barra, Eigg, Ardnamurchan and Arisaig - that stretched out over the next half-century. This book is about one particular group of Highland Catholics, the Glenaladale Settlers, who came out to St John's Island (as it was then known) under the leadership of John MacDonald, a discontented Highland tacksman (or "laird) from the Clanranald estate of Glenaladale on the shores of Loch Shiel. [From the Introduction by Edward MacDonald, Chair, Dept of History, University of Prince Edward Island]
Careful research into this historical account has expanded the known list of "Alexander" passengers from 46 men to 183 men, women and children. The biographies are set out in alphabetical order and cross-references are provided within passenger families.
