I am descended from John Lindsay, 1LT in the American
Revolutionary War on the Loyalist side. John was born
in Ayrshire (possibly in Loudon) in 1745 and he went to
Charlotte, New Brunswick, Canada where he fought for the
British. He is listed as being in the 78th Regiment.
John was the son of Robert Lindsay and his wife Margaret
"Peggy" McIntyre. John had a daughter named Mary, who
married James Cockburn of St. Patrick, Charlotte, New
Brunswick. Mary was born in Castine, Maine which later
became part of Canada. James and Mary Lindsay Cockburn
had a daughter named Sarah Elizabeth Cockburn, who married
John Cramer Towle, b. 1824 in Oak Bay, St. David, New
Brunswick. On their honeymoon to Michigan, John and Sarah Towle fell in love with Michigan and moved first to Montrose, Genesee, MI. They had five children: Frank,
John, James Sargent Towle, twins Isabella "Isetta" Desire
Towle and Ruby Cramer Towle (both born in Montrose in 1863, and Mary Towle who married Alphonso Reid. Isabella
was my great-grandmother, who married Thomas Burns Hughes
of Ontario, Canada. This Hughes family came from Kilalla
in County Mayo, Ireland and is now very large.
