• Hello everyone,

I descend from Donald "Dan" McGillivray and Christina Fraser who settled at Low Point, Cape Breton. Francis Xavier McGillivray asserts that Christina may have been the daughter of Colin Fraser and his wife Christian. Colin died in Sydney in 1787. His will dated 30 December 1787 was witnessed by Donald McGillivray. Colin's widow Christina Fraser went on to marry a Mr Lambert at St. George's Anglican Church. Does anyone have any information on this Colin Fraser?

Thanks, Vince MacNeil
