I am willing to help or answer any questions anyone might have on my book "The Family and Descendants of Dr. Robert Chandler" and John and his descendants as much as I am able. I also have books for sale for $35.00 plus shipping and handling.

I just acquired the book "The Emigrants from Scotland to America 1774-1775" by Viola Root Cameron who "copied from a loose bundle of treasury papers in the public record office, London, England". This book had my McDonald ancestors who came from Strathspey, Scotland along with many Cummings, Grants, Stewarts and others who may have also migrated to Delaware County. That was only one ship (The George) - there are many other listings of people on ships. I will do lookups.
