Life
Donald McKinnon is your 4× great-grandfather, born in 1790 in Balevullin, Tiree, Argyll, Scotland. He is the son of John MacKinnon (b. 1765, Strath, Inverness-shire) and Mary Kennedy. He married Christina McFarlane (b. 1802, Kilkenneth, Tiree) — both on the same island of Tiree. Together they are the parents of Neil Chambers McKinnon, your 3× great-grandfather who later emigrated to Bruce Township, Ontario, Canada. Donald's birth in Balevullin connects directly to the Tiree MacKinnon heritage confirmed in this family tree.
