Three half brothers emigrated from Applecross, Scotland to Prince Edward Island, Canada in 1806. Roderick, John and Murdoch Matheson's father was John Matheson Sr. who married three times each wife was named Mary. Roderick was born in 1751, John was born in 1778 and Murdoch was born in 1768. They came to Canada with their families and settled in Prince Edward Island, Canada.
Much information in available on their families in Canada however information on their parents or lives in Applecross doesn't seem to be available. I often wonder what they did for a living in Applecross and who their respective mothers were.
I know there is a book on the Matheson's history but from that I can't pinpoint who is who. It goes back many generations.
Any suggestions.
