Suggested edit:
According to the book The Lanark Society Settlers by Carol Bennett-McCuaig, Robert is the son of George Watt and Jane Campbell.

From the book:
Robert Watt, a son of George Watt Jr and Jane Campbell, was involved in one of Canada's most appalling natural disasters, which took place at Frank, in the Crowsnest area of Alberta in 1903. Robert Watt and a number of other men from Lanark County, Ontario were working there when the tragedy occurred. Companions included James and William Warrington of McDonald's Corners, cousins to each other and possibly connected to Robert Watt, whose brother William was married to Eliza Warrington; Sam Ennis, whose wife Lucy was James Warrington's sister.
During the night of April 28-29 an enormous landslide engulfed the area. Turtle Mountain slid into the valley, depositing thousands of tons of limestome on the coal mining community. At least 76 people died; many others may also have perished. It is said that a large group of newly arrived miners were camping out in tents; all trace of them was lost.
Robert Watt was stable boss at Frank. After checking the horses on that fateful night, he went to bed in the hayloft. He was a widower with six children back in Lanark. He would never see them again. His body was never recovered.

Robert married Mary Ann McDonald on 1 Sep 1886 in Carleton Place, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. Mary (daughter of John McDonald and Maria Rogers) was born in 1859 in Dalhousie Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 20 Sep 1902 in Kingston, Frontenac County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Saint Columbkill's Parish Cemetery, McDonalds Corners, Lanark Highlands, Lanark, Ontario, Canada.

The Watt Murder Case!
Acquittal of Prisoner!
This was an indictment against George Watt, Jr, for the murder of his grandmother, Jane Campbell, an old woman living, at the time of her death, with George Watt, Sen, the father of the prisoner.The circumstances tending to establish the guilt of the prisoner being of a purely circumstantial nature, every effort was made on the part of the Crown, both by D Fraser, Esq, the County Crown Attorney, at the preliminary examination, and by J Deacon, Jr, Esq, the Crown Counsel, on the trial, to supply all the links necessary in the chain of evidence to afford a fair presumption of the guilt of the accused. Plans showing the section of the country in which the alleged murder took place, and of the spot in which the body was found, were prepared from actual survey and produced on the trial. The trial, from the large number of witnesses examined, occupied more than two days, but the ingenuity and ability displayed in the examinations of the witnesses by the Crown Counsel as well as in the searching cross examinations of W M Shaw, Esq, Counsel for the prisoner, rendered it anything but tedious or uninteresting, while the addresses of both Counsel were masterly in the comprehensive manner of dealing with the long train of circumstances given in evidence on each side. Seldom has a trial of this nature presented greater difficulties and seldom have such difficulties been handled with equal skill and ingenuity. The jury, after a very able and impartial charge from the learned Judge, retired to consider their verdict, and after some hours brought in the verdict of "Not Guilty."

The following is as brief a statement as can be given of the evidence.
George Watt, Sen, sworn - Am father of prisoner; I examined the hand of deceased on the Monday morning before her death and she had no ring on then.

Buried:
From IDFG #209955846

Burial Details Unknown. Specifically: We can't not determine where John McDonald and his wife Sarah McNeil are actually buried. The old records of Playfairville Cemetery and of Highland Line Cemetery will be searched .

John McDonald who was a junior officer in the 104th Regiment under Lt.Col. Andrew William Playfair, took up land the same time as Colonel Playfair near Playfairville, Lanark, County, Ontario. Came to Canada in 1815 from Scotland, was in War of 1812.
John settled on Basturst (Bathurst) Twp. Con 12, Lot 20, 80 Acres, Lanark County, Ontario.
GPS Co-ordinates: Lat 44.9623? N, Lon 76.4189? W.
We are not 100% sure when John McDonald died, in Canada 1871 Census, he is living with his wife Sarah(McNeil) on the farm near Playfairville, Ontario, his son Hugh and family live on the farm beside his parents. In 1881 Canada Census, his wife Sarah (McNeil) is now a widow living on the same farm next to son Hugh McDonald and family.
Therefore John died sometime between 1871 and 1881 Census times. I search all Lanark County death records in that time frame and found a Death Record for a John McDonald age 82 years that died on 30 July 1877 in Bathurst Twp., registered by son John McDonald that was a Roman Catholic BUT the birthplace stated was New Brunswick NOT Scotland. I did an 1871 Census search for any John McDonald that would match the age and live in Bathurst Twp. and the only one the the John McDonald married to Sarah (McNeil) that live near Playfairville, Ontario.
Therefore except for the birthplace being New Brunswick this death record matches the above John McDonald as his son John McDonald had married Maria Rogers and had become a Roman Catholic as indicated in 1881 Census of Canada.

John married Sarah McNeil in 1825. Sarah was born in 1802 in Scotland; died on 31 Mar 1892 in Fallbrook, Bathurst Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
