• Notes

  They migrated to Walton Co., Florida in 1826. In the early 19th century, a number of Scots living in Richmond Co. North Carolina, made the decision to move to the Southwest to make new lives. Catharine Douglass, young wife of John Love MacKinnon, and mother, packed their belongings, helped her mother Sarah Curry, widow of Angus Douglass, gather things for the journey to the Wilderness. Catharine's mother-in-law, Christian MacKinnon, widow of Neill MacKinnon, went with the others. She migrated from the green North Carolina mountains with her husband, babies, and many other Gaelic-speaking families to the exotic beauty of the Florida Territory. Catharine and John settled on Bruce Creek, west of the Indian Fields. They called their home Pleasant Hill. They were friendly with the Euchee Indians who lived in the Valley. Later the Euchees left the Valley, and relations with other Natives deteriorated.
