  • Notes 
    • The next family to arrive came from {South} Uist; they sailed from Loch Bo isdale on June 1st, 1849 and after a pleasant passage of six weeks they ar rived at Quebec. This vessel carried 437 passengers, all bound for differe nt parts of Canada; those who came to Mara come by vessel from Quebec to T oronto, which took them six days, and after a short stay in Toronto, th ey bade the rest of the party good-bye, and took stage to Holland Ladin g, which took then one day. At this point one of the party by the na me of "Pat Steele", was stricken with typhus fever and died, which ca st a sad gloom over the rest of the party; they buried him under the sha de of a large pine tree; marked and lonely grave by a rough stone, an proc eeded on their journey. They took a vessel called the "Beaver" to Atherl y; the hull of this vessel can still be seen at the Narrows, which separa te Lake Simcoe and Lake Couchiching. [In 1957 a rib from this submerged wr eck was raised by David Brown.]

      This party consisted of John Steele, the father, two sons, Alexander and J ohn, and one daughter Mary;

      {Donald and Alexander McIsaac and five sisters, [7 actually, including]: M rs.

      Donald McDonald, his mother and two sisters; John and Anne McIsaac, half b rother and sister of the McDonalds, Hugh and Findlay Walker, Neil and Flo ra Morrison. Also John McKinnon and Donald McLean. This party are mostly a ll dead. [The two sisters of Donald McDonald were Mary who married Arch ie McDonald and Janet (Jessie) who married Donald McIsaac. Their mother h ad been Anne Steele widow of both an Alexander McDonald and Donald McIsaa c. Neil Morrison's wife was Ann not Flora.]
