Mac, I am going to check out more on this.Certainly our John Ballantyne came in 1867 from Galashiels, SCT to Galt, Ont.I have the dated watch presented to him on leaving Gala. for Galt where he was to become Supt. of a woolen mill in Galt.John's wife was Janet Matilda Turnbull.I have the orig. marriage record.I also have a sampler over my fireplace, done in SCT 1848 by Janet when she was 8 years old.It is in mint condition in the original wooden frame.The information is done in needlepoint on the sampler.I will contact you soon.In a hurry right now.
