Best regards Hugo Hello,
I wonder if John Drummond Buchanan Ogilvie, chief factor of the Bay, and hero of the so-called MacGowan’s War (c. 1860) was descended from the Ogilvies who
went out in 1800.
Best regards
Hugo

Archibald Ogilvie arrived with his wife Agnes Watson and most of thei children in 1800. He brought with him two millstones from Tourraine which his son Alexander set on the Jacques Cartier river on the St. Lawrence above Quebec City. The Watsons arrived a year later. They were close friends and in-laws of the Ogilvies and had had neighbouring farms in Scotland. The watsons also brought in their baggage a set of millstones which they set on the Nun's Island channel of Montreal. Around 1811 Alexander Ogilvie moved his millstones to Montreal from Jacques Cartier and incorporated them in his Uncle John Watson's mill on the channel. A few years later,in 1817, he married his cousin Helen Watson,a daughter of John. The Watsons would have an interes with the Ogilvies in the Mills until the death of William Watson in 1867. regarding the Ogilvies and Watsons arrival Paul Hutchison is somewhat in error.
