Descendants of Charles MCKINNON, a Tailor in DeSable
In the course of continued research on my own McKinnon line in DeSable, I came across this family for which I can find no other research. I present this in hopes that it will provide aid to others who may research this line in the future. I have transcribed the Will of Dugald MacKinnon of this family and that is posted in the Wills Database of this site.
