John Livingston Jr. of Coalard and Ardnaclach, Appin

Post by Canadian Livingstone »

Hi All,



According to the Appin Parish records, John Livingston Sr. (born abt. 1766 according to 1841 Scottish Census) and his wife Christy Graham resided at Coalard Appin in the early 1800's where son John Livingston Jr. was born or baptized March 25, 1804 and son Duncan Livingston was born or baptized October 30, 1806

The son John Livingston Jr. married Elizabeth Harriet Livingston born 1803 of Old Miln, Appin, Argyll daughter of Dugald Livingston and Margaret McCallum of Old Miln, Appin. John Livingston Jr. and his wife Elizabeth Harriet Livingston's daughter Christy was born or baptized June 06 1831 at Coalard, a son Donald (Daniel) Livingston was born or baptized June 15, 1835 at Coalard, a daughter Margaret Livingston was born or baptized at Coalard and a son Duncan Livingston was born or baptized Nov.3,1841 at Archaclach or Ardnaclach, Appin, Argyll

In the 1841 Scottish Census states that John Livingston Sr. born abt. 1766 age 75 a Tailor by occupation apparently formerly of Collard and now a widower is residing at Ardnaclach with his son John Livingston jr, age 35 also a Tailor, his wife Elizabeth and their daughter Christy age 5, Donald age 4, and Margaret age 2 (A son Duncan b. 1841 is born after the 1841 Census was conducted that year.) A daughter Mary was later born in 1847 before the family of John Livingston Jr. left for Canada. First child named Christy presumingly after John Livington Sr's wife Christy of Collard. Not known when mother Christy or father John Livingston Sr. died presumingly in Ardnaclach, Appin.

Sometime between the year 1847 and 1851 John Livingstone Sr., his wife Elizabeth Harriet Livingston of Ardnaclach, Appin and their children likely left Appin, Argyll and settled eventually in Plympton Township, Lambton County in what is in present day Ontario, Canada.

John Livingston Jr. and his family appear in the 1861 Canadian Census and according to that census are residing in Plympton Township, Lambton County, Canada West (Ontario). John Livingston Farmer age 56, Elizabeth Livingston age 56, with their youngest children Duncan Livingston age 19 and Mary Livingston age 14 a daughter born in Scotland in 1847.

Margaret (McCallum) Livingston widow of Dugald Livingston of Old Miln, Appin Argyll also came to Plympton Township, Lambton County, Ontario in the 1850's after her husband's death where her youngest daughter Elizabeth Harriet Livingston had settled with her husband John Livingston Jr. of Coalard and later Ardnaclach, Appin. Margaret McCallum Livingston died in 1867 in Plympton Township, Lambton County, Ontario.

Margaret McCallum and her husband Dugald Livingston appear together in the 1841 Scottish census residing at Old Miln, Appin, Argyll. Margaret and Dugald Livingston are both recorded in 1841 as being age 55 or born about 1786. Other researchers however have suggested other birth dates for Dugald Livingston and Margaret McCallum of Old MIln, Appin, Argyll. Dugald died sometime between the years 1841 and 1849.

Known Children of Dugald Livingston and Margaret McCallum of Old Miln, Appin, Argyll
1. Elizabeth Harriet Livingston b. Nov. 22, 1803 (Not recorded in parish records)
2. Mary Livingston b. Aug. 12, 1805
3.Donald Livingston b. Jun. 2, 1807
4. Margaret Livingston b. Sept 12, 1810
5. Mary Livingston b. Sept. 16, 1812
6. John Livingston b. Sept. 17, 1814
7. Duncan Livingston b. Nov. 18, 1816
8. Jean (Jane) Livingston b. Nov. 27,1818
9. Euphemia Livingston b. April 12, 1821

On August 17, 1849 Margaret Livingston age 66 (b. abt. 1783) with a Fanny Livington age 26. Also with Margaret and Fanny is Angus McGregor, age 28, Mary McGregor age 28, Janet McGregor age 2 all arriving in New York passengers coming from Glasgow aboard the "Adam Carr".
Mary I assume was Margaret (McCallum) Livingston's older daughter Mary. With the McGregors and Margaret Livingston. A check of the Appin and Lismore marriage records shows that a Mary Livingston married Angus McGregor on July 17, 1845.Also aboard this ship is Angus Livingston age 30 whom I presume to be the son of Peter Livingston the Shoemaker of Port Appin, Appin and his wife Catharine age 26. I assume this is Angus Livingston who was later married to Agnes Livingston and lived in Plympton Township, Lambton County, Ontario.

In the Canadian Census of 1861 Margaret (McCallum) Livingston age 80 (b. abt. 1781) is living with Angus McGregor, age 40, his wife Mary Mcgregor age 45, Jessie? age 14, Jane age 9, Dugald age 7 in Plympton Township, Lambton County, Ontario, Canada.

Margaret (McCallum) Livingston is said to have died in 1867 in Plympton Township, Lambton County, Ontario, Canada
