Donald and Mary Livingston leased land at Nine Mile Creek, Lot 65, Queens County, PEI from about 1806. Lot 65 was not acquired by Lord Selkirk in 1803 or 1806. Some of his other sons were also at Nine Mile Creek. Sons John and Alexander at one point apparently had lots adjacent to the original homestead. Later Alexander and his family are in Prince County, PEI.
Son Donald Livingston Jr. is the Donald Livingston recorded as purchasing 100 acres from Lord Selkirk in 1806 located in the neighbouring Lot 31 which was owned by Selkirk. At the same time John Livingston presumingly his brother John and several Mcleans who travelled to PEI aboard the Rambler from Tobermory, Mull with the Livingston family purchased 100 acres at the same time and at the same price. It appears then to have been the Donald and Mary's son Donald and John then that were with other settlers from the Rambler involved in 100 acre land purchases of land located in Lot 31, a lot which Lord Selkirk acquired in 1806.
One of Donald Livingston Junior's sons a John Livingston shows up later in the 1800's in Lot 30 which had not acquired by Lord Selkirk.
So this family of Livingstons who originated from Morvern and lived in Mull as well resided in Lot 65, Lot 31 and Lot 30 in the 1800's.
