John MacDonald formerly of Gills-Canisby, Caithness, Scotland and I are trying to locate descendants of his great grandmother Alexanderine MacKay Matheson. Your name came up during our search. Alexanderine's sons were William Matheson (born 1890 in Dickinson County, Kansas), and John's grandfather John MacDonald born in 1881 in Watten, Caithness, Scotland. Alexanderine, her husband John, sons William Matheson and John MacDonald ended up living in Gills-Canisby, Caithness, Scotland by 1901. My great great grandfather John McDonald of Watten, was the father of John MacDonald and my great grandfather Chauncy Bert McDonald (born in Missouri around 1881 or 1882). I am trying to figure out who Chauncy Bert's mother was (been looking for about 8 years now). I was wondering if you are a descendant of William Matheson? I am hoping to find a family member who might have an old family bible where Alexanderine may have listed her children's names, and dates of birth. I think that she might also be Chauncy's mother too. Any help that you may be able to give me with this, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Joy Gantt Engel

My mother Sylvia Rosie was Karin Sylviia Olivia Vikman and my neice, my half sister Evelyn's daughter, is Sylvia See.

I only have one picture of my grandmother Elizabeth Innes and her brother James Sutherland c 1910 I suppose. I would love to have other pictures that could be the Mathesons.

So yes there were a James Sutherland Sr. and Jr.. Elizabeth Matheson died in 1913 in Lanark, James Sr died in Edinburgh in 1924 and James Jr married Margaret Leithead in 1925 and died in 1958.

my email is marosie@shaw.ca

Do you know anything about William and Elizabeth's brother John? I know he married an Alexina Mckay in Dickinson County in 1888 and moved back to Scotland around 1891 but am having trouble finding anything out about him or his future wife while they were in America. I believe Alexina was supposed to marry the father of her son John McDonald in the US but for some reason ended up marrying John Matheson instead. All of them were still in Scotland for the 1881 census.

I am working with a couple of people to try and prove or disprove that a John H McDonald b c 1862 and lived here in Montana, Colorado and finally California is the same person.

He worked for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, One of the people I am workng with wondered if the Matheson's were friends.

At 11:10am on August 26, 2009, Linda Page Hillary Hannah said…: My Mathesons are from Caithness and Sutherlandshire. Gils Canisby has the Caithness "farm" still owned by my Matheson cousins. Orkney View is the house on the cliff in Portsherra, Sutherlandshire. The town is full of Mackay's which is the maiden name of my great grandmother Matheson. I have been in both houses. William Matheson is my great great grandfather
