Sarah McCallum (1843 - 1871)

Duncan McCallum and his wife Isabella Ferguson came to Canada from Craignish parish, Argyllshire, Scotland in 1842.

The arrived in New York and came overland to Canada. It is believed that they came by the Hudson river to Albany and from there to Oswego on Lake Ontario. There is some evidence that they may have crossed to Kingston where they continued by boat to Port Stanley on Lake Erie.

From there it would be a very difficult trip overland, probably on foot, to Williams township in Middlesex county, Canada West, where they acquired a farm from the Canada Company. Daughter Sarah was born in their first year in the new land.

MacCallum ancient lands
on the Craignish penninsula

Duncan McCallum was a tenant on Soroba farm in the middle of the Craignish penninsula, and it appears that some of his ancestors held the same tenancy or a tenancy on Lergychoniebeg farm a bit further up the penninsula. There is little doubt that the family was part of the MacCallum clan who inhabited this area from the time of St. Columba.
