The Laird of McNab Township - Duncan McNAB
Scottish Settlers in 1825 near Arnprior, Ontario, Canada
January 18, 2003:
Duncan McNab
(The Laird of McNab Township)
Archibald McNab was the last chieftain of the McNab clan from the Loch Tay
region in Scotland. In order to escape heavy debts, he fled to Upper Canada where
he negotiated for land along the Ottawa River so that he might bring his clansmen
from Scotland as settlers. He was empowered by the government to assign up to 100
acres per family and was granted personally 1200 acres which could be increased
upon completion of the development of the settlement. In 1825 eighty-four settlers
were met on their arrival by McNab and his piper. From there, they travelled by
boat or walked through the bush for three weeks until they reached their new
settlement at Chats Lake. Under McNab, they endured many hardships. Provisions
were scarce, and had to be carried long distances for the first three years.
The already impoverished Scots were hounded for interest payments required on
any money spent on their behalf and then forbidden the right to work outside
McNab's "serfdom". Young children in the settlement came close to starvation;
meanwhile, the Laird gave lavish parties financed by the money flowing in as
income from his large timber interests. Petitions were drawn up by the settlers
and sent to public bodies but McNab's strong support of the Family Compact, the
ruling oligarchy of the time in Upper Canada, caused their pleas to fall upon deaf
ears. At the time of the Rebellion of 1837, McNab was appointed "Laird Colonel of
the 20th Battalion of Carleton Light Infantry". But his own clansmen, fearing that
McNab would gain even more power over them in a time of military service, refused
to serve under his command. Finally, the Crown Lands Agent at Perth was appointed
to investigate, and, after surveying the settlers, concluded that all charges against
McNab were valid. McNab, sensing trouble ahead, quickly offered to sell his lands to
government for 9000 pounds but in the end he settled for 2,500. The government began
issuing Crown grants to the settlers, removing the Laird's feudal powers. His fortunes
continued to dwindle, and though he tried suing his clansmen for his losses, he was
unsuccessful, and returned to Europe. He died in 1860 in a small village in France.
The township retains his name.

whom the Laird of McNab met at Montreal and settled on the Laird's estate
near Arnprior.

Hello There,
I noted a LINK to my 3X great grandfather, Sgt Henry AIRTH of McNab Twp
on your site.
I am hoping you would be inclined to give me a LINK as well since I have
several pages on my web site devoted to Sgt Henry AIRTH and his desdencants.
I thank you in advance for your consideration!

Hi Al!
I was browsing over some info on the web site and
came across the McNab blurb.
My mother in-law was a Storie . Apparently a very
rare bunch of people. Her ancester came over in 1842.
But his younger brother came over in the first bunch
of settlers with Laird McNab. I have the list of 20
families on the ship if you are interested as well as
the land description where they settled. The younger
brother William came over in 1825 under the settlement
scheme of McNab.
If you are interested I can send the complete list.
The family farm is still in the hands of a Storie. .
What is amazing is the place names being so similar
to the ones in Scotland.

Storie Family History
Hi Al:-
Here finally is some information on the Storie Family.
As you might remember the first one James, was among
the first twenty settlers to arrive on Niagara. They
were in the Laird McNabb group.
Here is some more information.
William Storie, Handloom Weaver Kirkton,Renfrewshire,
Scotland and Elizabeth Stewart were married in
Lochwinnoch Village , Renfrewshire, Scotland, on Sept
7 1776.
Their children are:
William, born 1778 in Barfodd, Scotland, emigrated to
Canada and located on east half of lot 26, 9th
concession, McNab Township, Renfrew County, Ontario.
Jean or Jane 1780 Barfodd, Scotland,
Mary 1782 Kirkton, Scotland
John, 1786 Lochwinnoch Scotland, cotton handloom
weaver, Renfrewshire, and spouse Elizabeth Salmon,
married in Lochwinnoch in 1815 , emigrated to Canada
in 1842, spent the first winter in Canada with his
brother, William on the property related above. In
1843 he moved to the farm on Lot 27, concession 9 ,
McNab Township, lately owned by Edgar Storie.
Marrion, born in 1789, Yardfoot, Refrewshire
Robert 1791 Lochwinnoch, Renfrewshire
James 1794.
James emigrated to Canada in 1825 under Chief Mc Nab's
scheme of settlement arriving in 1825 on the first
shipload of twenty families.
The marital union of John Storie and Elizabeth Salmon,
married in Scotland in 1815 resulted in eight children
all of whom were born in Scotland and emigrated to
Canada with them in 1842
Their names, birthdates, deaths and spouses are as
follows:
Elizabeth Storie, spouse John Cameron
Jane or Jean Storie 1818 - 1904, spouse William
Blackburn, 1818 - 1902
They lived on Lot 2 concession 11, Horton Township on
a farm. They are buried in Goshen Cemetery.
Mary Storie 1820 - 1898, spouse Tom Durbrow, 1807 -
1896, settled near Glasgow Station, Ontario, on lots
24 and 25, concession 8 McNab Township
Ann Storie, 1822 -
Willian Storie 1824
John Storie 1826 - 1897, spouse Janet Wallace 1833 -=
1897.
John Storie who is the great grandfather of my husband
Ronald Hill was nicknamed "Red Jack" He was issued a
patent on August 18, 1851 for the East half of lot 25,
concession 8, township of McNab.
Both he and his wife died in Lochwinnoch, Ontario and
are buried in Goshen, Ontario Cemetery.
Prior to their death they lived on the farm now owned
by Arthur Storie
He was the last Storie to own the farm. He left in
1975. It was at this farm that my husband's
Grandfather was born in 1866.
Robert Storie 1828 - 1912 spouse Mary Henderson
1841 - 1903
Robert lived on the farm later owned by Morris Storie.
Lot 3 Concession 8, Horton Twsp. He and his wife
are buried in Goshen Cemetery.
James Keith 1832 - 1910 spouse Jane Ferguson
1835 - 1898
They lived on the original homestead but later moved
to Western Canada.
We have charts of each member of the Storie Family
descending from John Storie and Elizabeth Salmon.
They include Wallace, Fitch, Yorgey, Simpson, Lindsey.
The stories have scattered. Some out west and some to
the states. And there must be a branch in Scotland.
The brothers and sisters of James, William and John
must have descendants somewhere. We will have to do
more searching when I get the time.

Hi my name is Kim Campbell. My great great great grandfather was one of the
passengers aboard the Niagara that came to Canada in 1825 under the direction
of the Laird of McNab individual.
I just came across this website today and was really excited.
I've been trying to do my family history ever since my father passed away.
Especially researching about the one ancestor who came from Scotland has really
intrigued me to find out more about him and his family and so on. I would
love to know if Patti Hill knows any more information maybe about their voyage,
or if my ancestor Peter Campbell and his wife G.S McNaughton had any children
on board with them or other relatives. Also I think from looking at what was
left to me about my history is that the Storie's that Patti Hill spoke off run
into my family as well. I have an Elizabeth Dewar Storie born June 1877 who
married the grandson of the passenger Peter Campbell named John William
Wallace Campbell in 1903. Elizabeth's parents were James Clark Storie and Isabel Ellis.
Anyways maybe this information helps you or not, but I did find your site very
helpful and encouraging. Hope to hear from you

Hello,
My name is Eunice Patrick and I owned the farm you speak of in Lochwinnoch
(lot 26, Concession 9) from 1992 to 1998. It is a beautiful piece of property.
Most of it is cleared but there is a small river running through a gully in
the back which is still wooded. The house on the property was built approximately
1878 I believe but it had been renovated in the years between 1975 and when we
bought it in 1992. There was a small orchard at the back of the house and now
there is a swimming pool where the kitchen garden had once been.
When I first moved there, I was enthralled with the history of the place and
began to do a little research. There is a fair bit written about the Laird Mcnab
of course, but I was always fascinated to know that I lived in house that was
settled by the original Scots who immigrated with the Laird. I went to the
land registry office and got a copy of the deeds for the house to help
understand the history of the farm. I still have those deeds here with me.
In the woods at the back, I discovered the remains on an old wagon. Not much
left actually, just the iron spokes of the wheels and a few other pieces of
metal hardware. I found and old piece of horse drawn farm machinery used for
haying. A tree had grown between the tines, so it must have been there for
a very long time. There were oak trees on the property that had to be a
couple of hundred years old and I would sit under them at times and realized
that these trees had probably been there before the Stories or the Laird McNab.
I even visited the graveyard in Goshen, a few miles down the road from the farm.
I used to almost feel their presence when I looked at the hewn cedar beams
in the barn or the huge stones that were used to make the cellar for the house.
I imagined what it must have been like to live in those times, and work so
hard with your hands. As you can see, I discovered that I had a romantic
streak in me.
In fact, the first summer I was on the farm was the 150th Anniversary of
the establishment of the Lochwinnoch Settlement. In honour of the Anniversary,
the local historians asked if we would mind a number being posted at our laneway
coinciding with the map drawn up identifying all of the original farms. We
received a few visitors that weekend and one of those visitors was Morris Storie.
He was a very old man at the time but he told us some interesting things about
the farm and of all the work he had done in clearing the huge trees and their
stumps so the land could be farmed. Another person I met was Margaret Storie,
the widow of Arthur Storie I believe, the last of Storie descendants to own
the farm.
Margaret came again to visit us some time later before she died and we
invited her in to see the house since it had been renovated. She said she
hardly recognized it!!!. The banister on the staircase still has the big
"S" though, although it has been painted many times. My husband and I
converted one of the bedrooms upstairs into a bathroom and when we lifted
the carpet up to redo the floors ( the whole upstairs was wall to wall
carpeted ) we discovered that the floors were made of pine planks, an
inch thick, some of them were as wide as 16 inches. All cut by hand I assume
and probably from the farm itself as I believe it was once covered with some
of the most magnificent pine trees the Ottawa Valley was know for.
The Old School House was built on a piece of land donated by James Storie
( the elder) on the corner of Lot 26, Conc. 9 and I believe he was one of
the original founders of the Lochwinnoch Church. The ladies of the Women's
Institute have a large collection of very old photographs as does the church.
I am sure if you were interested they would be love to share some of them with
any descendants of the Storie family.
Anyway, you may know all of this but I hope that I have shared something
meaningful with you. I am currently trying to do my own family history,
and to tell the truth, I am more interested in the stories of the people
rather than the names and year of birth. I have travelled twice to the
village of my ancestry in Ireland, I have walked the farm, seen the foundations
of the houses and seen many gravesites, but I would love to sit with some
elderly person who would share some of the memories or second hand knowledge
of those people and times.
Good luck with your search and I hope I have been of some help.

My grandmother worked for the Laird when he lived on White Lake. Her name was
Marie Bond and her brother was James Bond. My mother was a Campbell so I have
heard many stories about the Laird.

More on the early STORIE family
November 26, 2007:
I was happy to read the thread about the early McNab settlers. My G-G-Grandfather
was James Storie (b. 1791), who arrived with his nephew Robert Storie on the ship Niagara
in 1825. He wasn't one of the Laird's settlers, as he had paid his own way, but he
did end up settled on a parcel of the Laird's land after swamping his canoe in the
Chats rapids, (Ottawa River at Fitzroy Harbour).I'm uncertain about his wives.
There is an Upper Canada marriage record for a James Storie and Margaret Robertson
that occurred after the birth of his son James Stewart Storie but before that of his
daughter Elizabeth. Although there were subsequently a large number of James Stories
in Horton and McNab, ours was the only one of legal age at the time. Later he was
married to Isabella Cobourn. His son James married Annie Eckford and produced 11
children, including my grandfather Tom Storie.
I would be pleased to exchange information about the Storie or Eckford clans.
Regards,
Tom Lowery

Hi there,
James STORIE was 1st married to Margaret CLARKE on Jul 31 1813 in Lochwinnoch, Renfrew,
Scotland and there is a parish record on the online IGI for that.
Their son Robert [Black Bob] STORIE was baptised Dec 5th 1813 in Lochwinnoch and
married my ancestor's sister, Christian McLAREN d/o Malcolm McLAREN & Janet FISHER
of McNab Twp who came over on the Niagara c. 1825.
James' 2nd wife was Isabella COCKBURN and she died Nov 02 1874 in McNab while James
died Aug 08 1875.
Robert "Black Bob" STORIE & Christian McLAREN named their children:
1] James Clarke STORIE, after Robert's dad and his mom's maiden name
2] Margaret STORIE, after Robert's mom
3] Ellen STORIE, after sis of Christian who died young
4] Christian Coburn STORIE, after Isabella and Christian
Grace and Ellen Christian STORIE, 2 of James Stewart STORIE's daughters, married
relatives of mine.
Black Bob's 2nd wife was Janet ECKFORD d/o James ECKFORD & Helen GLENDENNING and
sister to Anne who married James Stewart STORIE ~ a very small world!!!

_____________________________
Hello Dallas,
I have the information that you provided, but am not certain that it is all correct.
I am willing to be refuted, but here are a few points regarding your 'Black Bob'
Storie and the marriages of James Storie.
For the following reasons I believe that Robert Storie was a nephew of James Storie
(b. 1791). A Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to Canada before Confederation, by
D. Whyte, and The Original Emigrants to McNab Township, Upper Canada - 1825, by
G. McDiarmid, both say that Robert was related to James, but Robert was not listed as
his son. The latter book says that no wife or children accompanied James on the voyage.
In the various census records Robert is never living with James, but he can be found
residing with one of James' brothers. Perhaps most crucial, James Storie's Last Will
and Testament includes provisions for daughter Elizabeth and son James Stewart, but
there is no mention of Robert.
Regarding the marriages, it is possible that James Storie was married in Scotland
and I hope to investigate that more fully. Listed in the District Marriage Records,
Bathurst District, 1831-1848, is the marriage, by special license, of James Storie
to Margaret Robertson, 1835, at Lanark. Although there were other James Stories in
the area by this time, ours is the only one I could find of legal age. He also had
a brother John Storie, who was a witness to the marriage.
The 1842 census indicates that James Storie's wife was under 45 years of age, while
James was 51. They were all members of the Church of Scotland. For the 1851 census,
however, both he and his wife (Isabella Cobourn) were 59 years of age, and she was
a member of the Church of England. Not only did his wife gain an additional six years
(at least) and change her religion, she would have had to have been 46 when she had
Elizabeth (b. 1835), which is unlikely. Interestingly, the 1842 census includes a
single woman with an older son living with James and his family. This single woman was
over 45 and a member of the Church of England, which matches the 1851 census information.
We can even add other bits of circumstantial evidence. James Stewart Storie (son of
James Storie) records that his mother was born in Scotland, while Isabella lists her
place of birth as Ireland. Based on all this and other evidence, it appears pretty
clear to me that James Storie married Isabella Cobourn, who was living with his
family previously, sometime between 1842 and 1851 and that she is not the mother of
Elizabeth and James Stewart.
Please excuse the lengthy message. I look forward to any information you might have
that would help refute or clarify what I have been able to find.
Sincerely,
... Tom
February 21, 2008:
My daughter and I visited Edinburgh last year and had an opportunity to do some
research at the Registry Office. We have a copy of the following from the Registrar
General for Scotland. 31 July 1813 – James Storie and Margaret Clarke both in this parish gave in their names to be proclaimed which was accordingly done.
Regarding James Dumbarton Storie In the book “Descendants of William Storie” compiled
and edited by Terris “Terry” C. Howard is the following item.
Willie Storie in 1953 stated that his grandfather, James, married the widow SMITH who
had three children, 2 daughters and a son. Willie also stated that his grandfather,
James, had been married three times, the last time to --?—Coburn.
I hope you find this information useful.
Sincerely,
Iris Storie

Hi Al,
I just checked my posting on your website and thought that I should point out that
the information regarding the marriage of James Storie and Margaret Clarke and the
birth of Robert Storie, were the two items I had obtained from the Scottish Registry
Office. The quote from Terry Howard’s book is from the book that I have here in Canada.

I am a descendant from Major Duncan Campbell and of course the Storie's were a big part
of the family also.
Duncan came over with the McNab and settled on Chat's Lake near Sandpoint.
I have found the homestead fireplace which still stands to this day as they had built a
cabin around it to preserve it.
Any info would be welcome and I have done much of the history however I do know they
settled in Glengarry County first and would love to know if there were any other siblings
or relatives that stayed in this area

The following excerpt is page 30 from the book
A Life in the Bush -- Lessons from my Father by Roy MacGregor, 1999,
Penguin Books, ISBN 0-670-88082-5.
This book is about Mr. MacGregor's father, Duncan MacGregor, who lived and
worked in the Whitney, Ontario and Algonquin Park area. Good information about
lumbering in the Valley. One of my all-time favourite books.
