Vespra Township,Simcoe County,Ontario Livingtons


Donald Livingston b. abt. 1799 d. April 11,1888 Minesing,Vespra Township, SImcoe County, Ontario and Mary Brown of Kilarrow Parish, Island of Islay m. April 8,1828 Bowmore,Kilarrow Parish, Island of Islay. Before 1851 St. Anicet Parish, Huntingdon, Beauharnois County Quebec. Before 1871 family settled in Vespra Township, Simcoe County,Ontario. Donald and Mary appear to have left KIlarrow Parish, Islay in the early 1830's British North America but ended up in Lower Canada (Quebec) rather than Upper Canada (Ontario). Also living in St. Anicet parish in South western Quebec in the 1800's was Donald Livingston b.1791 surveyor and son of Miles Livingston b. Morvern parish who was married in 1812 to Janet Livingstone at Bowmore,Kilarrow Isle of Islay. Donald Livingston Surveyor son of Miles Livingston died in 1862 in St. Anicet parish and is buried in St. Andrews Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Huntingdon, Quebec. His death record indicates he was born abt. 1802 but the 1861 Quebec Census indicates his birth at about 1797 which is probably more accurate as he was in his early teens when he first arrived in British North AMerica with father Miles and his step mother Jessie (Janet Livington) There is no information as to whether Miles or his son Donald who settled in St. Anicet parish, Quebec is related to Donald Livingston who was married to Mary Brown. Just interesting that they lived in the same Parish in South Western Quebec and were both connected in some way to KIlarrow Parish, Islay.
