Your data about Bytown or Bust is most interesting.  I am tracing the Robert Leishman 
family who settled in Nepean Township by the 1842 census.  Robert emigrated to Canada 
in 1815  from Scotland (exact place of birth is not known) and married Helen / Ellen 
Miller (from Fife) in Nova Scotia in 1818.  Their children were born in various places: 
Halifax, Boston, NY, USA, and Ottawa!  The family eventually ended up in Ramsay Twp. 
Daughter Catherine Leishman married James McQuarrie, son of Neil. 

Neil McQuarrie and Flora McFarlane were Scottish Emigrant Society pioneers in
Ramsay Township. They are buried in the Auld Kirk Cemetery at Almonte, Ontario.

Dear Mr. Lewis,
 
Thanks for adding the new information re the above to the "Bytown" site, along with 
the Leishman connection. I never did find out where Robert Tinkerton Leishman Senior 
and his wife, Ellen, were buried.  The last record I have of Ellen is on the 1871 census 
where she is enumerated with her son, Alexander Leishman, in Ramsay Twp.
 
In 1861 she was enumerated in Morris Twp., in Huron County, ON with son-in-law 
James McQuarrie, daughter Catherine and grandchildren. She was a widow by then, so 
husband Robert had died sometime before that.
