Greetings everyone,
Jean Reid, born in 1689, arrived in Canada before 1715.
His father's name is David. David Reid was living in Inverness, Scotland, born in 1661, maried to Elisabeth McKinnon, born in 1665 and also living in Inverness.
We find Jean Reid in LaPrairie, Canada, Feb 11, 1713 (14?).
At the time , he is getting married to Catherine Pripeau (or Primeau), born Nov. 30, 1698 in LaPrairie, Canada .
Do anyone know if ships sailed to Canada from Scotland before or around 1714 ?
Possibly, Jean Reid was a translator, like many, in France, from where he could have crossed to Nouvelle France, as Canada was called at that time.
I know that Robertson clansmen had to take shelter in France just before 1715. This could be a clue.
Can anyone help me have more information on Jean or David Reid , or concerning Elisabeth McKinnon ?

Thank You

Robert
