Archabald PORTEOUS
(1819-1886) was the son of Archibald PORTEOUS (c1776-1824)
& Grace ROBISON (1776-1852) who married in 1798 at
Dornoch parish, Dalton, Dumfriesshire, Scotland. Archie was married
in 1849 at Newcastle District, Ontario, Canada to
Nancy/Nan/Ann BLACK (c1834-1888). Archie was born in
Kirkpatrick-Fleming, Dumfriesshire, Scotland and immigrated to
Canada in the mid-1840s. Nancy came from Ballymena, county Antrim,
Ireland with her family. Moses Black, Sr (c1776-1881) &
his wife, Mary, left Belfast in 1845 and came to Canada with their
family: sons James (b. c1827), John (1822-1903) & Moses Jr.
(b.1825), & 4 daughters. They settled in Gloucester, Nepean
& Goulbourne townships in Ontario. Mary Ellen
(1830-190?) married James K Fleming (c1810-83), Margaret
(1836-18??) married Thomas A Barton (1840-19??), & Mabel?
(b.c1829) m: James E McKinley/McKinney. It is probable that Moses'
brother, Thomas, with his wife Jane, arrived at the same time;
they settled in Richmond, Carleton County, Ontario.

*Mary
Jane had a son, John BUTLER (aka PORTEOUS), in 1878 (John's
father = Edward BUTLER) who died in 1888 & next had William
PORTEOUS in 1880 (father = Mr. GOOD?). She married Robert
DEAVES (c1847-1890) in 1882 & had 2 daughters,
Grace Louisa (1883-1957) m. 1902 George CARDIFF (1880-1950);
& Margaret Jane (1884-1957) m.
1902 Robert James LACKEY (1875-19??).
In 1891 Mary Jane married, George CROZIER (1845-1906) in 1891
at Carleton Place, Ontario and in 1908 married William CARDIFF
(1855-1916), her son-in-law's widowed father.
Alexander BIRSS (1851-1940), was born at Kincardine-O'Neill,
Aberdeenshire, Scotland, s/o Hugh BIRSS (1812-1860) & May
MERCHANT (c1816-1875); he came to the Gladstone, Manitoba
area c1879 and then moved to Dauphin Manitoba in 1888 and married
Cynthia Vesta McDONALD (1863-1928) in 1884. Their daughter, Mary
Ellen (1889-1973), married William PORTEOUS (1880-1953) in
1908 in Dauphin & Bert HORSLEY (1899-1976) in 1955 in
Winnipeg.
Neil McDONALD (c1800-1880s), came from (probably Islay)
Scotland to Caledon, Ontario, Canada c1830, likely with his wife,
Elizabeth 'Betsy' (c1805-1898?); their son, Neil (m. Mary
Ann ROSZELL) moved to Bruce County Ontario in the mid 1800s,
then to Gartmore (near Dauphin), Manitoba in 1888.
ROSZELL: this family may have originally emigrated from England
to USA; Charles Roszell Sr (1742-1817) came up from New Jersey, USA
c1810 to the Belfountain area in Ontario; his grandson, Charles Patrick ROSZELL
(1811-1878, s/o Nathaniel ROSZELL & his
first wife, Christien FELKER)
m. 1832 to Cynthia EAGLES (1814-1895, d/o William EAGLES
& Mary RUSHTON). Their daughter, Mary Ann (1838-1897),
married Neil McDONALD Jr. (1832-1916) in 1855; their youngest
son, John (1874-1949) married Mary
Octavia WARD (1878-1920).
EAGLES: Planters from Eastern Seaboard states moved to Kings County,
Nova Scotia c1763 and on to Belfountain, Ontario
in 1826 [An updated version of the
original 1982 EAGLES family history book which was written by Douglas Eaton Eagles of Sarnia, Ontario was
published in 2006]. The RUSHTON
family, which married into the EAGLES family followed the
same route - quite a few of them are included in the Eagles book. We
were saddened to hear of Douglas Eagles' passing in 2008 (... his
daughter, Carol, can still be contacted via snail mail regarding his works.)
