MacKinnon Line — Uncertain
Archibald MacKinnon

Life
Archibald MacKinnon appears in the Bruce Township "Migrants" historical compilation (compiled by Anne Judd) as a widower named as the father of Neil (and Hugh) MacKinnon in Bruce Township, Ontario. However, confirmed genealogy records now show that Neil Chambers McKinnon's father was Donald McKinnon (b. 1790, Balevullin, Tiree, Argyll). Archibald may represent a different generation, a confused record, or a separate MacKinnon family branch. His exact relationship to the confirmed McKinnon line is currently unknown.

Research next
The compiled source listing Archibald as Neil's father may be incorrect or may refer to a different generation. Confirmed genealogy: Donald McKinnon (b.1790 Balevullin, Tiree) → Neil Chambers McKinnon → John MacKinnon (b.1868). Pull Ontario census records for Bruce Township to investigate whether Archibald McKinnon appears as a separate household.
