Thank you for this helpful summary of your best understand of the Mull-to-Dalhousie Livingstons. (Sorry I didn't find it for over a year!) I agree with your conclusions -- but just a few comments: Once in a while you have a typo and refer to (patriarch) Duncan Livingston and "Donald". (As ...

Greetings -- I've again neglected this forum too long, and just found you've made some relevant postings (Dec. 2016!) on the Livingstons of Mull that settled in Dalhousie, Lanark Co., Ontario.

I'm a new forum member, and very interested in this thread on Alexander Livingston and family of Dalhousie.
