    Notes:

    In 1825, Andrew Miller, a farmer, from Bathurst Con 3, married Catherine Munro of Dalhousie. She was the oldest daughter of Peter Munro and Mary McNab who came to Canada in 1820 and settled on Dalhousie Con 1 Lot 10. Marriage records have not been located but it is believed that they may have been married by Dr. Gemmill, the first minister to serve the Dalhousie settlers on a regular basis. His records have never been located. In 1835, the Munro family moved to the 3rd Concession of Bathurst, close to where the Miller family had settled.
