MacKinnon Line — Child of Donald and Christina (Unattached)

Flora McKinnon Keith

18 May 1829 – 1903

Probable

Life

Flora McKinnon was born on 18 May 1829 at Balevullin, Tiree, and christened there on 24 June 1829 (FamilySearch tree), the daughter of Donald McKinnon and Christina McFarlane. On 19 February 1861 she married Duncan Keith (b. about 1826 in Scotland, son of Peter Keith and Julia McDougall) in Ontario County, Ontario; the register names her parents as Donald McKinnon and Christina McFarlane, and her age as 30. The tree gives her immigration as 1850 and her death in 1903 at Mosa Township, Middlesex County, buried at Oakland Cemetery, Glencoe. She is probably the sister of Rev. Neil McKinnon of Mosa, whose 1881 household included two Keith children, Christina and Neil D., who were probably hers.
