My mother's grandmother was Helen Ewing a daughter of William Ewing and Catherine McRae. I think your ancestor was Catherine's brother James McRae.
ReplyDeleteJames R. McRae was the son of James McRae and Maria Horne. He was born in Canada. I heard he might have had a sister named Catherine.
DeleteIf you could e-mail me at David.Larsson@mail.com, I'd love to discuss this possible relationship more with you.
I tried sending you an email. I am convinced that my Catherine was your James' sister.
