Neighbors

The 1851 Census for Mauchline, Ayrshire Scotland, contains the following familiar Scotch Settlement family names. At this time, I can not say for sure that these are relatives of pioneer families, but they are living in the right region of Scotland and evidence is strong that this may have been the core group that formed the Michigan Scotch Settlement. This list of neighbors would indicate that the Reids, Borlands, Campbells, Hamiltons, Wilsons, Cochrans, Gilmours, and Smiths all knew each other before the journey to North America:
