Catherine McIver was raised by her grandparents, Donald MacIver andMary MacLeod [Dennis Roth]
Catherine and Charles owned and ran a hotel in Scotstown. Catherinewas a crackerjack bridge player. She is remembered as a gentleperson, very sweet-natured. After Charles' death, Catherine moved fromScotstown, Quebec to Humboldt, Minnesota (where the Murray family hadsettled) with her daughters, Lottie and Annie (abt. 1905). Thefamily returned to Cookshire (close to Scotstown in the EasternTownships) when Annie was about 14 (abt. 1912). (Source: Jocelyn AnneWickenden)
Catherine, Lottie and Annie presumably stayed with the Murray familyof Hallock/Humboldt, Minnesota. Isabella McIver, Catherine's mother,married Donald Norman Murray and the whole Murray family moved to theHumboldt, Minnesota area in 1880 [Dennis Roth]
William Ward genealogy shows birth date to be 1857, presumably inerror.
Kate doesn't seem to appear in the 1881 Canadian Census - a likelyreason is that she was with her mother in Hallock/Humboldt Minnesotaat the time, since her mother and Donald Murray moved there in May,1880.

William Ward Genealogy by Martyn, 1925, pg.434 shows marriage date asMay 31, 1867 in Cookshire, Quebec, CAN (Robert Kline)
Roger Lancey chart shows marriage date as May 31 1873. Since Lanceycharts shows dates of birth for children as 1875, 1878 & 1880, andthis is a direct ancestor of Roger Lancey, it is presumed that Lanceyshows the correct marriage date.

John Abbott French chart shows simply as Jonas French (1850-1941).Originally had Jonas married to "Abigail Sarah M." Data from WilliamWard Genealogy showed Ludiah French married to Abigail Sarah MariaFrench (2nd cousin). Listed children were the same (JAF chart onlyshowed first names). Lineage was the same based on following quotefrom a document about the French family name. "This was copied byJohn Abbott French from an old manuscript written by his grandfather,Hiram French. Hiram was a son of Levi and grandson of John French(born 1739 at Enfield, Conn.) and his wife Abigail Sage who came tosettle in Eaton Township, County of Compton. Province of Quebec in1797 or 1798; that John French was a son of John French and RachelBush." Using this info, and the JAF chart, JAF's father could only beJonas, son of Hiram (1808-1892), since Jonas was the only one with ason named John.
Therefore, Jonas French and Ludiah French are the same person, AbigailSarah M. and Abigail Sarah Marie French are also the same. Cookshirecemetery records show name as Jonas Ludiah French as does "A Historyof Eaton by C.S. Lebourveau" so presumably the William Ward Genealogyis in error.Railroad clerk. - William Ward Genealogy by Martyn, 1925. Pg.435.(Robert Kline)
