CHILDREN OF NEIL MACCALLUM AND HIS WIFE, MARGARET MACKAY

1 Duncan married Janet Gregor, daughter of Peter Gregor

ii Archibald - in 1798 census an Archibald McCallum was listed in

Lot 26 after his brother-in-law, Alexander Anderson.

iii Dugald

iv Margaret married Alexander Anderson

It is questionable whether this Dugald MacCallum, listed as one of the children of Neil MacCallum, was the weaver who arrived with the settlers in 1770. It is quite possible that he came first as his wife was a member of the Shaw family. In the 1798 census, there is no record of Dugald MacCallum in Lot 33 but rather John MeCallum is listed. Could this be explained as some people have suggested

over the confusion between Gaelic and English.

In the cemetery at Brackley Point is a gravestone inscribed, "Sacred To The memory of Dugald McCallum who died 29th July 1829 Aged 72 years. Also Margaret Shaw, his Spouse, who died 29th Sept. 1840 Aged 82 years. They were both natives of Kintyre,

Scotland. Erected by Neil McCallum their Son in 1844."
