Looking for any info on Donald (Daniel) McEachern b ca 1826 married to Elizabeth Murphy b ca 1838 both born in PEI, NS, Canada. They had the following children: Margaret, Martha, Peter, Sylvester (Archie), Angus (m. Sadie), Roland, Francis, John J, Joseph (m. Rose) and Donald.

Margaret married Thomas Diggins and they came to the US in 1879 and settled in Beverly, MA. She was the oldest as far as I can see. She was born in 1861 in Port Hawkesbury, NS, Canada. This is the line that leads to my husband.

I'm heading to Scotland in July and I'm hoping to get an idea of where they may have come from before I go. The 1871 Census shows that both Donald (Daniel) and Elizabeth are of Scotch descent.

I have no info on Margaret's parents or siblings or anything beyond Donald (Daniel). Any help would be greatly appreciated.
