Notes - Family history passed down - In the year 1690, James McCrea and 6 sons went from Scotland to Ireland with the army of William the Conqueror to fight in the Battle of the Boyne. According to records, 5 of the sons returned to Scotland. The one who remained in Ireland is our ancestor. A descendant named Charles (perhaps grandson?) was born c1750. He married Peggy Johnston. Their son John was an ordained Presbyterian minister. John married a Welsh girl, Elizabeth Evans and they had 3 children - Matilda, John and Margaret. Their son John and his wife had Charles, John, and others. One of these [I believe to be Thomas]married and had 5 children - Mary, William (1843-1916), Richard, Katherine and Elizabeth.
William (1843-1916) - my great grandfather - came to Canada in 1867
