    Notes:

    The book "History of the Counties of Argenteuil, Quebec and Prescott, Ontario", published in 1896 by Cyrus Thomas (John Lovell and Sons, Montreal, 1896) states that the two brothers, Duncan and Peter Dewar emigrated from the Glasgow area to Quebec in 1804 with their families. Duncan was said in the book to be the younger of the two brothers, arriving with a wife and one child. Peter was said to arrive in Canada with a wife and 9 children. Searching in the old parish records for Dewar (or Deore or Deor) parents having two sons named Duncan and Peter, with Peter born in the mid 1700s, and Duncan born later, turned up Duncan Deor (Dewar) and Janet McIver, as well as their other child - Donald. All three children were born in Killin Parish, Perthshire. Killin Parish is in the highlands of western Perthshire. It is about 50 miles north of Glasgow. Killin is also the place of origin marked on the grandfather clock that Duncan Dewar brought to Canada in 1804. The parish records of Killin indicate a large number of Dewars, Doers, Deors and Deoirs born there in the mid 1700s. The most common male names were Donald, Duncan, James and John.
