Charles Milne and Elspet Ross
and Their Descendants
From Aberdeenshire to Wentworth County
Charles
Milne and Elspet Ross were married on December 13, 1831 in Premnay
Parish, Aberdeenshire, Scotland and resided in nearby Leslie Parish.
They emigrated to what is now Wentworth County, Ontario ca 1844 with
their children: Margaret, John, Alexander, Robert and Charles. Three
more children: George, William and James, were born in Wentworth County.
A Gathering of the Clan
In
June 2002, a reunion brought together seventy-five descendants of four
of those children. They came to Ontario from British Columbia,
Saskatchewan, Arizona, Florida, Illinois and Michigan. Of the children
whose lines were not represented at the reunion, one son died with no
surviving descendants, and three sons moved to Michigan and have not
yet been traced.
Purpose
This web site hopes to:
• provide new information for known descendants
• post information submitted by descendants
• contact more of the descendants of Charles and Elspet
• break through the brickwall regarding those three missing sons
